The use of self-reported data in monitoring is the accepted norm. The Town of Windsor partially disagrees with this finding. While this may have been true in the past for properties where the affordability covenants rest with individual cities and towns, this is not true of monitoring performed by TCAC and HUD, both of which conduct regular on-site monitoring in addition to auditing of documentation.
