Overall Rating and Overall Score

After rating the individual categories, an overall rating must be assessed.
Overall Rating: Superior, “Above Average”, Satisfactory, “Below Average” or Unsatisfactory.
To calculate an overall score: Multiply the derived performance value by the assigned percentage of the overall rating for each category.
Once all tested categories have been calculated based on the performance indicator and performance indicator values, the total calculated points is divided by the total percentage of overall rating and rounded to the nearest whole number.
For convenience, a utility is included with this form which will perform all of the necessary calculations.
If this review is conducted by a CA or PBCA as indicated in Contract Administrator, the overall rating reflects a review as it relates to compliance with the Housing Assistance Payment Contract (HAP) only.
If a “below average” or unsatisfactory rating is determined, the owner/agent must be afforded an opportunity to appeal.
