Co., 798 F.Supp.2d 186, 196 (D.D.C. 2011)) (alteration omitted). First, the complaint alleges that Gregory submitted requests to DCHA for payment of federal funds provided by HUD. Such requests are cognizable as claims under the FCA. See, e.g., Doe v. Gormley, Civ. A. No. 15-2183, 2016 WL 4400301, at *5 (D. Md. Aug. 17, 2016) (collecting cases where “courts have specifically held that collecting illegal side-rent, in the context of housing voucher programs, violates the FCA”). Second, the complaint alleges that the claims submitted by Gregory were false. By submitting requests for payment, Gregory impliedly certified his compliance with HUD Program rules concerning the amount of rent he was permitted to charge Carmichael. See United States v. SAIC, 626 F.3d 1257, 1269 (D.C. Cir. 2010) (<HOLDING>); United States ex rel. Wade v. DBS
