10.6 Explain, or attach a copy of your local agency monitoring schedule and protocol.
Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) has adopted a systems approach to monitoring Contractors for compliance with applicable regulations and achievement of performance goals. Program activities are monitored both electronically and by conducting on-site visits annually. The State mandated software is used to record application input and monitor Contractor's production, i.e., how many applications are taken in a given time frame; how many of those applications were Heating/Cooling applications; how many were Crisis applications; how many households were served; and how many priority members were included in those households. We are also able to monitor the rate of benefit delivery to the specific service area. This information is utilized, to not only monitor the rate of service delivery, but also the areas being served. Those areas can be identified within a service provider's geographical service area, needing extra attention and outreach. Page 27 of 55
