SAVE Sign-up extended to May 22
Does Your property use the "SAVE" system to verify citizenship status of prospective move-ins? (SAVE is the SYSTEMATIC ALIEN VERIFICATION FOR ENTITLEMENTS system operated by the Department of Homeland Security.
On May 8, HUD announced that DHS was totally throwing out the previous log-in database and said that effective May 8, owners must designate a single person per property to log-in and use SAVE. So if you have not designated a single person to log-in and use SAVE for your property since May 8, it is urgent that you do so immediately. The new deadline to sign up is May 22, this Friday.
If you need to sign up, here are the steps.
1) Save a copy of the sign-up spreadsheet on your PC. To do that, first click
this link to open the spreadsheet. Note if a password box pops up, hit the "Esc"
key to clear it. You do not need to enter a password or ID to open the spreadsheet. Then Do "File => Save As" to save
a copy of the spreadsheet to your PC, such as on your desktop or other place where you can find it later.
You can not save data on the spreadsheet on our web server. NOTE: xlsx files can only be opened by
Excel 2007 or later. If you have an earlier version of Excel, use this spreadsheet.
After saving the copy of the spreadsheet on your PC, close it. Next, open the copy of the spreadsheet you saved on your PC.
Fill in each column on the spreadsheet for the person designated to have access
to the SAVE system. Enter one line per property that the designated person needs access for, using the property name as it appears on your 50059s and vouchers.
Then, save the information, and close the spreadsheet.
2) Send the spreadsheet as an attachment by email to SAVEaccess@hud.gov
3) The deadline for submission is May 22, 2009.
HUD will compile the information received and forward it to DHS by June 5, 2009, for uploading into the SAVE system. After the uploading is completed (on or around June 14, 2009), each person that has been uploaded into the SAVE system will receive an email with their User ID and temporary password to access the SAVE system.
Need more than one person to have access to SAVE?
If your property has access to SAVE now and more than one person has access, or if your property does not have access to SAVE currently and you need more than one person to have access, additional people can be provided access through a manual process that will take place at HUD after June 15, 2009. Further instructions will be forthcoming prior to June 15, 2009.

ShofCorp Does TIC (Tax Credit) Documents
The Owner/Agent TRACS Service of the Future!Besides accepting HUD-50059 tenant certification data from our customers via fax and "snail-mail" like other services, ShofCorp customers can enter and print 50059's on their own PC from our website at no additional charge. (See demo link below) This provides immediate document creation 24 X 7 that no other service can match. ShofCorp then downloads all data entered by customers to its central computers, where we run the monthly HAP vouchers and also process TRACS data transmissions to HUD (or your Contract Authority). Site staff entering 50059's via our website also have access to a web page that provides immediate information on which tenants are still due for the upcoming voucher, or which tenants may be past due at their project(s). others please contact us at 800-824-1657. Why a Service Bureau?Since ShofCorp handles the voucher processing and TRACS transmissions, training requirements to generate 50059s are greatly reduced. In fact, training usually consists of "walking" site staff through entering and printing one or two 50059s on the website or completing our simple tenant income/asset data form. This eliminates expensive training charges usually required with many PC compliance packages, charges which are usually added to the annual license fees. Please note, however, ShofCorp is not a substitute for site staff having an underlying knowledge of the 4350.3 and general HUD occupancy requirements. Click 59s via WebŪ Demo Menu to see how to enter and print 50059's for a fictitious property, "Misty Vista Apartments." All site staff needs to do is enter and print 50059s, and ShofCorp takes care of running the vouchers and transmitting data to TRACS, all for about the same as most software vendors' annual license renewal fee. ShofCorp will be enhancing the web extranet to include management reports including vacancy, rent roll and expired certs for all projects. If you are not currently a ShofCorp customer, please contact us at 800-824-1657 for information on how to load on your property. |
