A Message from the VP

 

Good Morning,


Your continued partnership with Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority is appreciated. Changes within the Housing Choice Voucher Program are continuing to take place and we understand change is not always easy to accept. Therefore, I will be out in the community at local libraries to meet with property owners and managers to discuss the latest W-9 and inspection requirements. Additional topics will be covered. The first session will be at the Sharonville Branch on April 17, 2026 from 11:30am to 12:30pm. Click here to register for that event and see the upcoming sessions.

 

 

In addition, the Housing Choice Voucher Program wants you to have the tools needed to be successful in this partnership. Ask the Expert and CMHA U sessions are resources created for your benefit. The next Ask the Expert will review the inspections process from start to finish with the Manager of Landlord and Owner Compliance, Brittany Smith. Do you know when abatements are applied or what the recently implemented regulations are? Click here to register for the April 29th event that will be held at the HCV Administrative Office located at 1635 Western Avenue. What information on CMHA processes or procedures would you like to learn more about? Feel free to share your thoughts by responding to this email or messaging HCVhelp@cintimha.com.



Did you know that CMHA will conduct inspections on a Saturday upon request? Please email hcvinspectionrequest@cintimha.com with a proposed date and time.



It has come to our attention that some property owners have downloaded a Rent Cafe app from their device’s Play Store. This app will not allow you to access CMHA’s Yardi Rent Café. Access can only be obtained by using the web browser on your mobile device, computer or tablet. The direct website location is https://myinfo-cintimha.securecafe.com/landlord/cincinnati-metropolitan-housing-authority/login.aspx



 

If you still need CMHA’s 1099 form for your taxes, remember the 2025 tax year 1099s are now available for download on the Rent Café Partner Portal. You will find a document for each entity that is currently under a HAP contract with Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority. Retrieving the document is easy, login to your portal account and then click on My Documents. If you do not see it at the top of the screen, simply select 1099 in the document type drop down box. 



The Appreciation Banquet invitations will be mailed out in the next couple of weeks. We look forward to celebrating with you. Please remember that reservations are required for this event, as there are only 500 seats. I look forward to seeing you there!

Kind regards,


Lisa Isham

Vice President of Housing Choice Voucher Program Services
