funds consistent with the various stages
of any development (construction) work
actually achieved. On limited occasions,
a supervised account is used to provide
temporary credit counseling and
oversight of those being assisted who
demonstrate an inability to handle their
financial affairs responsibly. Another
use is for depositing MFH reserve
account funds in a manner requiring
Agency co-signature for withdrawals.
MFH reserve account funds are held in
a reserve account for the future capital
improvement needs for apartment
properties. Supervised accounts are
established to ensure Government
security is adequately protected against
fraud, waste and abuse.
The legislative authority for requiring
the use of supervised accounts is
contained section 510 of the Housing
Act of 1949, as amended (42 U.S.C.
1480). These provisions authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture to make such
rules and regulations as deemed
necessary to carry out the
responsibilities and duties the
Government is charged with
administering.
