Manage between 4 and 6 staff, as provided through CPS HR, to complete day to day program administration tasks as required by federal and state statutes and guidelines.

I. Program Compliance

Help local program administrators to problem solve compliance issues and meet program expectations. Compliance approach should be collaborative, and solution oriented with a focus on successful implementation whenever possible.
J. Funding Schedule
Rental Assistance funding has very tight obligation and expenditure deadlines that, if missed result in recapture and reallocation of funds. Funding obligations, expenditures, and projections must be tracked weekly to identify potential expenditure problems quickly and address issues accordingly. Jurisdictions that are behind on expenditures or that routinely miss projections will be expected to work with the program administrator to troubleshoot program participation issues to improve expenditure rates. In the event that a programmatic requirement is resulting in widespread program performance issues, the program administrator is expected to bring those program issues to the project management team and the rental assistance advisory team for resolution as early as possible.
K. Reports
The federal funding requires quarterly reports on several variables to help track assistance uptake rates and distributions. The Block Grant funding will have the same reporting requirements, however, may be required more frequently (e.g., Monthly instead of Quarterly) to ensure program performance targets are being met according to the priorities identified by the State Legislature.
L. Technical Assistance
Provide guidance, support, and troubleshooting assistance to both support team (as managed by the program administrator) and jurisdiction grantees as necessary.
