Submit Requests Electronically • All requests for processing must be submitted to our centralized mailboxes rather than directly to your HUD Account Executive or via paper mail. • Properties located in AZ, CO, MT, ND, SD, UT, WA or WY, send requests to DEN.Incoming@hud.gov • Format the subject line as follows: • Request Type, Project Name, FHA # or Contract # • To reduce email duplication and to ensure that our office properly logs your request, please do not send a copy to your HUD Account Executive. • Request Types • All types of requests will be accepted at these mailboxes. Examples include: • Exigent Health & Safety (EH&S) certifications • Management certifications • Reserve for Replacement (R4R) releases • FASS responses
Submit Requests Electronically • Things to consider…. • Sending work requests directly to the AEs could result in delays – work is not tracked, office may be closed, staff may be unexpectedly out, etc. • Reach out to Account Executives directly for all technical assistance requests. • Do not send links sent to Den.Incoming with log-ins/secure passwords: Often the links do not work and staff processing the mail do not have the password. Frequently it is not clear who sent the link because it comes from a third-party email – there is no identifying info in the email re: property, contract number, etc. This results in delays as we research to determine who we can get back to.
