FY 2017-18 CPP Housing Guidelines

One-Time Annual Submission of Non-profit Housing Developer Organization Documents

In order to streamline the submission of documents and reduce the use of resources and materials, the Regional Center (RC) on behalf of the non-profit housing developer organization (HDO), may submit the following required documentation on a one-time, annual basis for approval by the Department of Developmental Services (Department). The Department will keep these documents on file. The RC should only submit them once per year, with the first housing proposal of the funding year. However, if any information changes occur during the funding year, the RC will be required to provide the Department with updated documents within 30 days of the change.

Development Team Qualifications

Please submit a description of the development and management experience of the HDO, any person, agency, business and/or organization retained by the HDO and other development team members (e.g., developer, architect, accountant, consultants, etc.), including their resumes, and a summary/list of past completed projects.

HDO Audited Financial Statements (Audits)

For an HDO that has submitted housing proposals to the Department in prior years, only the most current audited financial statement must be submitted with the first proposal submitted for the funding year. Audits previously submitted for the prior two (2) years will remain on file with

the Department. If previous audits have not been submitted, they will be requested.

Submit the most recent audit completed by a Certified Public Accountant using generally accepted auditing standards. The following is required for an HDO that has operated for less than three (3) years:

For an HDO that has operated for two (2) years but less than three (3) years, submit audits for both years of operation with the most recent audit being an unqualified audit.

For an HDO that has operated for at least one (1) year but less than two (2) years, submit the audit for the year of operation.

The Department will consider qualified audits, based on the nature of the qualification, as long as the qualified audits are not for the most recent full year of operation.
