“Restatement of intercompany balances = -$1657”

“The 2013 HOME Final Rule changed certain requirements for an organization seeking qualification as a Community Housing Development Organization ("CHDO"). Most importantly in HACDC's case, such an organization must have paid employees with housing experience appropriate to the role the organization expects to play in its housing projects. In the past, the experienced employees providing those services to HACDC were employed directly by New Hope Housing ("NHH") and no portion of their compensation was allocated to HACDC. To demonstrate compliance with these new rules, HACDC has made an allocation of the appropriate amounts of compensation related to services provided to it by NHH for the year 2017. Approximately 40% of Joy Horak-Brown's time is spent providing services to HACDC and 100% of Emily Abeln's time is spent providing services to HACDC.”
