Expertise in Local Building Codes
The C S Design, Inc. team's years of knowledge and experience with HUD modernization programs have enabled us to develop a thorough understanding and expertise in HUD modernization standards while keeping within local code enforcement. Our proposed team has completed modernization projects for numerous public housing authorities throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky, each requiring compliance with local code enforcement agencies.
Knowledge of HUD Guidelines
Our team of specialists has actively participated in the latest HUD and NAHRO seminars, ensuring we are well-versed in the current roles and guidelines mandated by HUD concerning CFP standards. Merely knowing the individual components of a regulation is insufficient to comply with its requirements. It is essential to understand the operation of a housing authority, the underlying issues or conditions addressed by the regulation, and how to implement it in a way that optimally benefits the specific authority.
Throughout our tenure, numerous executive directors have entrusted us with implementing diverse rules and regulations introduced by HUD, encompassing modernization, utilities, resident initiatives, budgeting, and more. Leveraging our extensive experience, we are adept at addressing fundamental challenges, including defining the regulation's purpose and devising the most effective approach for fulfilling the requirements to bring maximum benefit to your authority.

Knowledge of QHWRA
Our team has studied the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (QHWRA) extensively. Additionally, we continuously review updates and requirements to stay informed. By maintaining the most up-to-date information, we are equipped to prepare our clients for their obligations under this Act. We also provide valuable assistance to numerous authorities in fulfilling agency plan submittals mandated by QHWRA, along with the planning process that enhances these endeavors.
Automation Standards
C S Design, Inc. offers Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CAD/D) services using AutoCAD software. We use Microsoft Office Word and Excel for all word processing and accounting tasks.

We remain well-informed about current HUD rules and regulations with ongoing training and continuing education programs. This training encompasses the requirements of the Capital Funding Program and QHWRA.
Our extensive involvement with annual agency plan submittals has given us an in-depth knowledge of your authority's policies and regulations. We have successfully assisted numerous housing authorities throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky in establishing effective governing policies for low-income developments.
