Passing Paint Clearance Due By June 15th

Attention all program owners who had previously been granted a paint waiver for a unit with deteriorated paint. All units which had been granted a waiver are required to come into compliance with the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) by June 15th. Owners are responsible for contacting Bob Bennett at Farsight Management at (330) 602-8338 and scheduling a clearance test to be conducted by them. All owners are also responsible for completing and returning a signed Owner Certification form. Remember that all units that are out of compliance with HQS for not having a passing clearance will be subject to Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) abatement as of July 1st, 2004.

This month we thought we would lighten up  the Owner Update and provide a few laughs.
