• Clarifications regarding accounting and escrow requirements set forth Accounting Brief 26 and Notice PIH 2022-20
• Updates to portability policies to better align with the regulations at 24 CFR 984.306, the guidance in Notice PIH 2016-8, and HUD’s FSS Final Rule FAQs
• Other minor revisions and clarifications to ensure compliance
