The IHP must certify that admission, rent and management policies are in effect and available for review

ihbg.reporting.ihp_policy_certifications · v1.0.0

The Indian Housing Plan must include evidence of compliance with NAHASDA, including certifications that policies are in effect and available for review by the Secretary and the public governing (a) the eligibility, admission and occupancy of families for assisted housing, (b) rents and homebuyer payments charged, including the methods by which they are determined, and (c) the management and maintenance of assisted housing. The IHP must also certify that the recipient will maintain adequate insurance coverage for housing units owned, operated or assisted with grant amounts. What each policy says is a matter for the recipient; the certification establishes only that the policy exists, is in force, and is open to inspection.

This is the pivot on which the whole programme turns for a compliance reader: NAHASDA fixes a small number of federal ceilings (the 30 percent rent cap, the low-income test, the 10 percent non-low-income allowance) and leaves the rest to a tribal policy that must exist and be public. A finding here is about the absence of a policy, never about its contents.
