HUD finds VHA shortfalls in tenant notices and rent records
A HUD review of the Venice Housing Authority finds missing documentation behind tenant complaints at Grove Terrace and inadequate notice of policies. It calls for annual or 18month income reexaminations, written lease changes, and formal records of conversations. The team urges more tenant education and delays adoption of a new lease and grievance procedure until residents receive adequate notice.
