What We Deliver

Nothing Falls Through the Cracks

Olive Tree manages the ongoing relationship between your property and the housing agency — inspections, contracts, and deadlines — so rental assistance payments keep flowing without interruption. Every task tied to your programs is handled or tracked in one place.

🔁

EHV to HOME TBRA Transition Support

Hands-on facilitation on the owner's side of every transitioning unit — Owner Package turnaround, HQS inspection coordination, and contract/lease review before submission. We track each unit's coupon deadline and flag extensions before they become urgent, with weekly status updates while units are transitioning.

💵

Payment Continuity Monitoring

Overseeing day-to-day program administration and flagging conditions that could trigger abatement, reduced payments, or HAP contract termination — before they reach that point.

🔍

HQS Inspections & Violation Tracking

Monitoring initial, annual, special, quality control, failed, and re-inspections, and tracking violations through to corrective repair within required timeframes.

🗂️

Documentation & Audit Support

Reviewing rent increases, lease renewals, and HAP contracts; submitting required filings to housing authorities; and supporting agency audits and file reviews. Monthly compliance summary reports included.

📈

Section 610 Rent Increases

Preparing and reviewing Section 610 rent increase requests — rent comparability documentation, timely submission ahead of lease renewal deadlines, and follow-through with the housing authority to keep approvals on schedule and HAP income uninterrupted.

Flexible Coverage for Any Portfolio Size

Olive Tree scales compliance oversight to fit portfolios from a handful of units to multi-site operations — including a dedicated proposal for owners transitioning EHV units to HOME TBRA.

About the Founder

Yolanda Gibbs

Rental Assistance Compliance Specialist

Yolanda Gibbs brings more than 20 years of combined federal and municipal leadership in Section 8 compliance — three years as an Account Executive with HUD's Office of Asset Management, and over two decades in senior roles at NYC HPD, where she developed internal standard operating procedures adopted agency-wide and translated HUD regulatory changes into practical guidance for owners and residents. She holds certifications as a Certified Manager of Housing (CMH), Certified Housing Manager (CHM), and HCV Specialist. Her Superstorm Sandy recovery work earned her the Isaac Lieberman Award (City of New York), her grassroots housing advocacy earned the Amos Taylor Award (PACC), and she received the Life Savers Award (Mid-Bronx Desperadoes Community Housing) for noticing signs of smoke inhalation in children FDNY had just rescued and getting them the hospital care they needed.

Through Olive Tree, she brings that same regulatory depth to owners, developers, management companies, and PHAs nationwide.

Regional property management company currently trusted with full-portfolio HAP compliance oversight

"A resident receiving EHV rental assistance was incorrectly determined ineligible after a housing authority mistakenly believed no HQS inspection had occurred — when in fact one had, with documentation to prove it. Olive Tree advocated for both tenant and landlord through the correction process until the resident's eligibility and rental assistance were fully reinstated."

Beyond Compliance

Bringing Warmth to Every Building We Serve
