The nonprofit’s activities must be limited to the geographic area specified in the agency’s HUD-approved Affordable Housing Program Plan (AHPP).
Nonprofits are required to have adequate office space, equipment and clerical assistance, so that employees may perform their duties in a responsible manner. A nonprofit’s main office must be its designated facility to which FHA directs all communications about the management affairs of the nonprofit and from which the public obtains information about the activities of the nonprofit.
The nonprofit’s facilities must not be located within a space that is used by another Entity and with which the nonprofit has a conflict of interest. A nonprofit may share general reception-type entrances or lobbies with another business Entity or nonprofit. The facilities must be clearly defined to the public, so that visitors will know, at all times, exactly with which Entity they are doing business. This includes a sign and other common means of identification used by nonprofits and business Entities.
The nonprofit must submit the contact information and physical address of the agency’s main office.
The nonprofit must also submit interior and exterior photographs of its office facilities and a copy of the floor plan identifying the nonprofit’s work space.
