Every year, an inspector from MMAM performs a comprehensive inspection of each Jewish Senior Life of Metropolitan Detroit building that is subsidized through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This process includes a physical inspection of the building as well as the financial files of residents. The purpose of these inspections is to ensure the agen- cy is in compliance with government requirements. It is rare for a building to receive a superior rating, but this spring, the Teitel Building, also in Oak Park, was rated superior. Prentis Administrator Larry Machlis said, "This was a real team effort and a perfect example of each person in every department working together for the greater good of our residents. It's no wonder people enjoy living in our Prentis community on the A. Alfred Taubman Jewish Community Campus." The inspections are important to ensure that government tax dollars are being used efficiently and to verify the building is in compliance with all HUD policies and procedures. Because resi- dents' rent is based on their income, a thorough audit of resident files veri- fies they are paying the appropriate amount. It also ensures that the building is billing HUD for the correct amount of govern- - Larry Machlis ment subsidy.
