I am working on a survey that I would like to provide our tenants with one time per year. With the performance period requiring everything to end within a 30 day window, what have or what is suggested as far as a time frame to handing out/ collecting/ documenting/ corrective action. The minimum performance period is 3 months, would providing the survey November 1st, collecting the survey results November 7th, documenting the results for 1 weeks then, taking corrective action hopefully all are minor adjustments that could take 1 week, what would I do for the next 2 months?

My experience with this is that as long as the survey was conducted during the performance period (maximum of two years, as you'll recall, for individual credits), you are fine. I usually recommend that my projects take care of this survey well before the 3-month shared performance period so we have plenty of time for corrective action. Better to survey early and make improvements early than waiting until the PP and rushing through either aspect.

Great answer Dan. The real thing to remember is that while all credits have to be attempted during the performance period, not all of them will take the entire period to complete.
