WSHFCAsset Management & Compliance • What about properties with multiple funders? • WSHFC will continue to work with our funding partners to minimize multiple inspections each year for the same property. • Where we can confirm that another funder is inspecting a property, we will not ask USIG to inspect the same property in the same year. • If you have received confirmation from another funder that an inspection is taking place at your property, and USIG contacts you for an inspection, please immediately email Melissa Donahue, Asset Management & Compliance Division Manager.
