Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) has transitioned all of its employees to working from home. While it is our intent for business to continue as normal, our operations may be impacted by this transition, so we request your patience as we process draw requests, rental assistance payments, loan funding requests, loan closings, etc.
Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, OHFA will suspend all Physical Inspections for LIHTC, HOME, NHTF, OHTF, 811 PRA, FAF and CIP projects until further notice. This action is being taken in response to concerns related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to ensure the safety of tenants and OHFA staff. OHFA will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as circumstances change.
Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, OHFA will transition to Desktop Monitoring of Tenant Files until further notice. Tenant Files will be audited electronically through a secure upload in the OHFA Inspection system. Please stay tuned for instructions on how to upload your tenant files and which forms and documents must be included.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Compliance Division at Compliance@ohiohome.org.
Please note that next week’s meeting of the OHFA Board on Wednesday, March 18, remains on the calendar as scheduled. While OHFA Board meetings are open to the public, in adherence to Governor DeWine’s guidance to keep meetings limited to necessary staff and partners, we suggest that our partners and members of the public err on the side of caution and refrain from attending the meeting. We thank you in advance for your consideration.
