TAG Associates, Inc. has experience conducting and directing comprehensive management reviews of all operational areas of public housing agencies (PHAs), both through PHA solicitations and for verification of compliance with state and federal housing regulations. As follow-up to many reviews, TAG Associates staff have developed long-range improvement plans and provided extensive technical assistance in management strategies.
TAG has conducted agency assessments for the following PHAs:
TAG has also conducted more individualized departmental evaluations at numerous PHAs across the country.
TAG has performed such services for PHAs ranging in size from fewer than fifty units to more than forty thousand units. In many cases, PHAs have extended contracts for services with TAG to include assistance in implementing recommendations made in review reports.
TAG was a key member of a team that developed for HUD the tools that all PHAs use to implement Section 202 of the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions Act of 1996, which required assessing the viability of all PHA developments that meet certain HUD "distressed" criteria. In addition, TAG conducted Section 202 assessments and strategic planning for the Chicago Housing Authority. This work included the 202 assessment, a 20-year physical needs assessment and plan, and the development of an innovative categorization scheme that measures all developments by neighborhood, physical condition, and ease of management.
