- (a) The US Department of HUD conservatively estimates that 200 million dollars is paid annually to program participants who falsify or omit material facts in order to gain more rental assistance than they are entitled to under the law. HUD further estimates that 12% of all HUD-assisted families are either totally ineligible, or are receiving benefits which exceed their legal entitlement.(b) OHFA is committed to assuring that the proper level of benefits is paid to all participating families, and that housing resources reach only income-eligible families so that program integrity can be maintained.(c) OHFA will take all steps necessary to prevent fraud, waste, and mismanagement so that program resources are utilized judiciously.(d) Subchapter 39 outlines OHFA's policies for the prevention, detection and investigation of program abuse and fraud.
