Dear Mayor Duggan,
The Iowa Department of Economic Development 0DED) has completed its review of the first phase of HOME
program activities for the above referenced contract including the audit report, drawdown of funds reports,
beneficiary reports, and other reports as applicable to your contract. As a result of our review, we have concluded
that the project has been' administered in substantial compliance with financial and program requirements.
You should be aware that your records might be reviewed as part of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) monitoring of the State's program or the State Auditor's Office annual audit of the IDED.
Either of these could result in findings or conclusions that differ from those of the IDED. With this in mind, please
follow the record retention requirements described in the contract general provisions and the management guide.
In addition, your project has ongoing requirements relating to long term affordability, tenant income levels
and physical inspections, which must continue to be met. You are required to submit annual certifications to
IDED that document the project's continuing compliance with the requirements.
As a reminder, if your project award was in the form of a loan, please refer to your amortization schedule for your
loan repayments.
Thank you for your continued cooperation during all phases of your HOME project. If you should have any
questions, please contact me at (515) 242-4820.
Sincerely,
Toni Casber
