Along with tracking and reporting the number of households served and funds expended, HOPWA records and participant
files must demonstrate that funds have been used for eligible participants and activities. For adequate documentation of supportive services,
a project sponsor should be able to show that: Recipients of supportive services were eligible HOPWA participants;
The activity itself is an eligible HOPWA activity; The services were adequate and appropriate for the level of support
required by participants, as documented in the housing assessment and housing stability plan; The activities conform
with the grant agreement and project sponsor's contract; and records of supportive services back up the activity and expenditure
data reported to the grantee. Again, it is important to emphasize that HOPWA funds can only be used for eligible supportive services
related to housing needs. During onsite monitoring, the grantee should review participant files to ensure that they contain
sufficient information and documentation to verify the eligibility and appropriateness of supportive services provided.
