Heading: On-Site Review and Administrative Appeal

Text: Crow Housing met with HUD in April 2004 and asked the agency to suspend the repayment schedule until HUD performed an on-site review. HUD agreed. In August 2004 it conducted a three-day “on-site monitoring review” of the Tribe’s FCAS, and determined a new outstanding balance of $1,300,043 for Crow Housing’s overpayments. In October 2005, HUD informed Crow Housing of its decision and of the Tribe’s right to appeal. Crow Housing asked HUD to reconsider, claiming that the agency “unlawfully [sought] to terminate, reduce and/or limit [the Tribe’s] federal funding.” Crow Housing did not argue that HUD deprived it of a hearing, nor did it request one. HUD denied Crow Housing’s request for reconsideration.
