REPORT FRAUD


 

The CHA OIG Hotline aims to take reports of fraud, theft, waste, abuse, and misconduct in CHA-funded programs and operations and investigate those allegations where sufficient information exists.

Learn more about reporting violations of the laws, HUD regulations, and violations of the CHA Ethics Policy to the OIG.

Read the latest publicly available updates and press releases related to OIG investigations resulting in criminal charges in state or federal court.

Pursuant to the OIG Charter, the Quarterly and Annual Reports contain statistical information and summaries of OIG investigations, audits, and other activities.

The OIG conducts program audits in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and The Principles and Standards for Offices of the Inspector General.

Every three years, the OIG submits to an independent peer review conducted by members of the national Association of Inspectors General (AIG) to ensure compliance with these governing standards.
