. AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SERVICES Online Full Application Before an applicant can rent or purchase an affordable home, they will be sent a link to an online application form to start the full income certification process. We have received positive feedback from applicants who i prefer to complete the form online rather than a hard copy application. The online form is user friendly and > applicants can save their progress while they input bank account and other income-related information requested in the application. : Applicants can update their contact information, income, household size and other qualifying information any time from their Affordable Homes New Jersey Profile. If applicants have not updated in the last year, we will email them a series of emails notifying them that their profile will expire and they will be removed from the waiting list if they do not submit an update via the link provided in the email. If they fail to respond !i to multiple email requests to update, they will be sent a final email notifying them that they have been removed from the waiting list 5 Applicants without email addresses will be mailed annual renewal requests. Reporting i Another benefit of the Affordable Homes New Jersey database is that CGP&H prepares additional reporting on municipal affordable housing inventory and waiting list. Our client municipalities are telling !■ us that this system is giving them composite data as to what is going on with affordable housing in their community in a way that was never available to them before. Information we can provide on units that we directly administer can include: Sell in Last 12 months : Average Months for Homes to : • Applicant information such as how many people

AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SERVICES KNOWLEDGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING REGULATIONS There is no Administrative Agent in the state of New Jersey with more knowledge of New Jersey Affordable Housing regulations than CGP&H. Our president, Randall Gottesman, has been practicing both before and S during COAH's coming into existence in the mid-1980s, and ever since, has dedicated much of his career towards being expert in ail the requirements, its implications to municipalities, and how to most cost effectively help our clients comply with all of the rules and regulations. In fact, in 2006, CGP&H was so highly recognized ; for its expertise in this area, that it was awarded a competitive contract to make a companion guide to the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls (UHAC), which CGP&H prepared for the state, and was ultimately entitled, "Understanding UHAC." Fourteen years later, "Understanding UHAC" is still considered a valuable reference tool for those in the industry. In addition, to stay current, CGP&H regularly attends training and educational workshops, and Randall Gottesman, is a founding member of a professional association called, f "Affordable Housing Professionals of New Jersey", and has served on its Board since its inception in 2006, having ;■ served three of those years as its President. Mr. Gottesman continues to remain on the cutting edge of knowledge with regard to Affordable Housing compliance matters, legislative and legal matters and current events and issues. CGP&H remains committed to continuing its pursuit of full knowledge in this arena to always ■■ represent our clients to the best of our abilities.
