To ensure that LSPs are providing complainants with timely and effective services, HCD should, by March 2024, begin regular surveys of complainants whom it has referred to LSPs to determine whether the LSPs are in regular communication with the complainants and whether complainants have any concerns about the LSPs' services.

60-Day Agency Response

Program is developing a customer satisfaction survey for complainants that were referred to LSPs for service. The survey will be available in physical and electronic formats. Program will send the survey to complainants as part of the closing process for complaints that were referred to LSPs. Program will also conduct a monthly review of open complaints that have been referred to LSPs and will send the survey to complainants whose complaints have been inactive in CASAS for more than 30 days. Program estimates the CSA recommendation will be implemented by March 2024.
