Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 16-24 A PHA’s SEMAP certification is subject to HUD verification by an on-site confirmatory review at any time. Upon receipt of the PHA’s SEMAP certification, HUD will rate the PHA’s performance under each SEMAP indicator in accordance with program requirements. HUD Verification Method Several of the SEMAP indicators are scored based on a review of a quality control sample selected for this purpose. SAHA or the Independent Auditor must select an unbiased sample that provides an adequate representation of the types of information to be assessed, in accordance with SEMAP requirements [24 CFR 985.2]. If the HUD verification method for the indicator relies on data in the Form-50058 module (formerly known as MTCS) in the PIH Information Center (PIC), and HUD determines that those data are insufficient to verify SAHA's certification on the indicator due to SAHA's failure to adequately report family data, HUD will assign a zero rating for the indicator [24 CFR 985.3]. 16-V.C. SEMAP INDICATORS [24 CFR 985.3 and form HUD-52648] The table below lists each of the SEMAP indicators, contains a description of each indicator, and explains the basis for points awarded under each indicator. A SAHA that expends less than $300,000 in Federal awards and whose Section 8 programs are not audited by an independent auditor, is not be rated under SEMAP indicators 1-7.

Indicator 2: Rent reasonableness Maximum Score: 20 • This indicator shows whether SAHA has and implements a reasonable written method to determine and document for each unit leased that the rent to owner is reasonable based on current rents for comparable unassisted units • Points are based on the percent of units for which SAHA follows its written method to determine reasonable rent and has documented its determination that the rent to owner is reasonable, according to SAHA’s quality control sample. Indicator 3: Determination of adjusted income Maximum Score: 20 • This indicator measures whether SAHA verifies and correctly determines adjusted 3-368
