Seven Keys to Handling Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest arise when officials or staff stand to benefit--either directly themselves or indirectly through business partners or relatives--from the awarding or contracting of grant funds. Grantees are encouraged to avoid conflicts of interest to the extent possible. When conflicts of interest arise, grantees must identify, disclose, and manage them in compliance with applicable rules and regulations. When conflict-of-interest issues are overlooked or hidden, this creates problems for the individuals involved, as well as grantees, subrecipients, or contractors.
This bulletin discusses common types of conflicts of interest, offers best practices for avoiding and managing them, and the potential consequences of not handling them appropriately. It provides seven keys to handling conflicts of interest when using HUD program funds in procurement or non-procurement activities, knowing the requirements, training employees, creating procedures to document compliance, implementing the regulations, knowing the consequences, requesting exceptions, and getting help. The bulletin provides examples of conflict-of-interest issues in both procurement and non-procurement activities, along with ways in which these conflicts could have been better managed.
If you have any questions, please contact the
HCA Help Desk
toll-free in Kentucky at 800-633-8896 or 502-564-7630, extension 446; TTY 711; or

KYHMIS Annual Licensing Invoices
Every year, KHC invoices for the next fiscal year's Kentucky Homeless Management Information System (KYHMIS) User License fees. In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, online payments were introduced to the KYHMIS agencies.
KHC has adopted this method of invoicing permanently. Invoices were recently emailed to each agency for fiscal year 2016-2017 billing. All agencies in the BoS and the Lexington CoC that participate in KYHMIS, and have users with licenses, should have received an invoice for their portion of the license fee.
The Louisville CoC will bill their Louisville CoC clients directly and then pay their portion of the license fees (for all Louisville agencies) directly to KHC.
Your agency will be charged for the number of users in the KYHMIS. Please remember that user licenses cannot be shared by more than one user. Refunds will not be given for licenses requested in July, which weren't used consecutively during the year.
The initial invoices, as well as reminder invoices, have been sent to each agency. There will be no more reminder invoices sent out for KYHMIS license fees that are currently due. To avoid suspension of KYHMIS user licenses, please pay your invoice by Monday, August 15, 2016.
Agencies may access the
PNC Payment Center
to log in and pay now. If you have any questions, please contact the
HCA Help Desk
toll-free in Kentucky at 800-633-8896 or 502-564-7630, extension 446; TTY 711; or
