Do NOT ask the user questions.\nRead the codebase, analyze unit allocation logic, waitlist management, compliance features,\nand program tracking, then produce a comprehensive assessment.</p>\n<p>TARGET:\n$ARGUMENTS</p>\n<p>If arguments are provided, focus on specific areas (e.g., \"waitlist algorithm\",\n\"Section 8 compliance\", \"LIHTC tracking\"). If no arguments, run the full analysis.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 1: SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY</h1>\n<p>Step 1.1 -- Tech Stack Detection</p>\n<p>Read project configuration files to identify: backend framework, database, frontend,\ndocument management, reporting tools, GIS/mapping, payment processing, external API\nintegrations (HUD systems, credit bureaus). Record each component and version.</p>\n<p>Step 1.2 -- Housing Program Inventory</p>\n<p>Scan for supported housing programs. For each program found, record its eligibility\ncriteria, subsidy calculation method, and reporting requirements:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public Housing</li>\n<li>Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)</li>\n<li>Project-Based Voucher</li>\n<li>LIHTC (4% and 9%)</li>\n<li>HOME, CDBG</li>\n<li>USDA Rural Development</li>\n<li>HOPWA</li>\n<li>Continuum of Care</li>\n<li>Emergency Housing Vouchers</li>\n<li>State/local programs</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 1.3 -- Property/Unit Data Model</p>\n<p>Map the data model completely:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Property records and unit records (bedrooms, sqft, accessibility features)</li>\n<li>Unit status tracking and state machine transitions</li>\n<li>Amenities and utility configurations</li>\n<li>ADA unit cataloging and availability tracking</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 2: UNIT ALLOCATION ALGORITHM AUDIT</h1>\n<p>Step 2.1 -- Priority/Preference System</p>\n<p>Evaluate the scoring and selection logic:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Federal preferences: displacement, homelessness, rent burden</li>\n<li>Local preferences: residency, veterans, elderly</li>\n<li>Point calculations: verify math is correct and consistently applied</li>\n<li>Preference verification: how are claimed preferences validated?</li>\n<li>Tie-breaking rules: are they deterministic and documented?</li>\n<li>Selection method: date-and-time vs. lottery -- verify integrity</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Decision criteria: Flag any preference that could correlate with a protected class without\na documented legal basis.</p>\n<p>Step 2.2 -- Unit Matching Logic</p>\n<p>Trace the code path from applicant selection to unit assignment:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bedroom size determination: verify subsidy standards are correctly implemented</li>\n<li>Accessibility matching: confirm accessible units go to applicants who need them first</li>\n<li>Income targeting: verify ELI, VLI, LI band thresholds match current HUD limits</li>\n<li>LIHTC set-aside compliance: verify minimum set-aside tracking</li>\n<li>Reasonable accommodation handling: verify interactive process is supported</li>\n<li>Transfer vs. new admission priority: verify policy is codified correctly</li>\n<li>Over/under-housed transfer logic: verify triggers and waiting periods</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 2.3 -- Fairness Assessment</p>\n<p>Check for bias and audit trail completeness:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consistent preference application: same inputs always produce same outputs</li>\n<li>Manual override audit trail: every override must have a reason and approver</li>\n<li>Protected class blindness: allocation decisions must not see race, religion, etc.</li>\n<li>Lottery integrity: verify randomization methodology and seed management</li>\n<li>Geographic deconcentration: check AFFH alignment</li>\n<li>Statistical testing: look for disparate impact patterns in historical data</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 3: WAITLIST MANAGEMENT</h1>\n<p>Step 3.1 -- Waitlist Design</p>\n<p>Evaluate the architecture:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Site-based vs. centralized waitlist -- flag if configuration is unclear</li>\n<li>Program-specific vs. merged lists</li>\n<li>Open/close management: how is capacity tracked?</li>\n<li>Size controls and wait time estimation algorithms</li>\n<li>Position tracking: can applicants check their position?</li>\n<li>Notification system: channels, delivery confirmation,

tracking and status updates</li>\n<li>Contact info change workflow</li>\n<li>Preference re-verification: frequency and triggers</li>\n<li>Merge and reorganization tools for list restructuring</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 3.3 -- Application Processing Pipeline</p>\n<p>Trace the full workflow from application to lease-up:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Receipt and date-stamping (verify timestamp integrity)</li>\n<li>Preliminary screening (verify criteria match program rules)</li>\n<li>Full determination (verify income calculation, see Phase 4)</li>\n<li>Document checklist (verify completeness

logging)</li>\n<li>Lease-up timeline (verify deadline enforcement)</li>\n<li>Denial and informal hearing process (verify due process compliance)</li>\n</ol>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 4: INCOME VERIFICATION</h1>\n<p>Step 4.1 -- Income Calculation Accuracy</p>\n<p>Verify calculations against Part 5 (24 CFR 5.609):</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Annual income definition: verify all inclusions and exclusions</li>\n<li>Asset income: verify actual vs. imputed calculation (threshold: $50,000 net

Hierarchy</p>\n<p>Verify the system enforces the correct order:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Level 1: UIV/EIV (highest priority)</li>\n<li>Level 2: Written third-party verification</li>\n<li>Level 3: Oral third-party verification</li>\n<li>Level 4: Self-certification (last resort only)</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Check: 120-day lookback enforcement and document retention compliance.</p>\n<p>Step 4.3 -- EIV Integration</p>\n<p>Assess Enterprise Income Verification integration:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Data import: frequency and error handling</li>\n<li>Income discrepancy identification: thresholds and alerts</li>\n<li>Identity verification: SSN matching and failed match workflow</li>\n<li>Deceased alerts and immigration alerts: response workflow</li>\n<li>Multiple subsidy detection: cross-program checks</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 4.4 -- Rent Calculation</p>\n<p>Verify every component of the rent determination:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total Tenant Payment: 30% of adjusted monthly income (verify math)</li>\n<li>Minimum rent and hardship exemption: verify exemption criteria</li>\n<li>Flat vs. income-based rent: verify option tracking</li>\n<li>Utility allowance: verify schedule is current and correctly applied</li>\n<li>Ceiling rent: verify enforcement</li>\n<li>Payment standard (Section 8): verify FMR-based calculation</li>\n<li>HAP determination: verify landlord payment accuracy</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 5: FAIR HOUSING AND PROGRAM COMPLIANCE</h1>\n<p>Step 5.1 -- Protected Class Handling</p>\n<p>This is a critical compliance area. Verify:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Protected class data is collected for reporting ONLY, never used in screening</li>\n<li>Allocation decision code paths have NO visibility into protected class fields</li>\n<li>No discriminatory filtering exists in search or matching queries</li>\n<li>Equal opportunity marketing: language, channels, accessibility</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 5.2 -- Reasonable Accommodation</p>\n<p>Verify the full interactive process:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Request intake: accessible form, multiple submission channels</li>\n<li>Interactive process: documented communication and negotiation</li>\n<li>Approval/denial workflow: criteria documented, denial requires justification</li>\n<li>Modification tracking: physical and policy modifications</li>\n<li>Service/support animal tracking: separate from pet policy</li>\n<li>Appeal process: documented and accessible</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 5.3 -- LIHTC Compliance</p>\n<p>Evaluate tax credit compliance

scheduling and escalation</li>\n<li>Tenant portal: self-service capabilities and accessibility</li>\n<li>Language-appropriate notices: verify LEP (Limited English Proficiency) support</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Step 6.3 -- Outcome Tracking</p>\n<p>Assess program effectiveness measurement:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Length of stay metrics</li>\n<li>Income progression tracking</li>\n<li>Move-out reasons and positive exit tracking</li>\n<li>Program violation tracking and patterns</li>\n<li>Grievance process tracking and resolution
