Finding Details

Statement of Condition – For the Low Rent Public Housing program, we reviewed 40 tenant files (recertification files and new tenant files) for fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. We reviewed 5 files for tenant who moved out during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The selected files represented a sample of all tenant files in the two AMPS. We noted 2 instances in which net income was incorrectly calculated. The first miscalculation resulted in a $130 per month decrease in tenant rent. The second miscalculation resulted in a $3 per month decrease in tenant rent. Criteria – Per the Public Housing Occupancy Guidebook (Section 3), “Annual income refers to all amounts…, which are made to or on behalf of the family’s HOH…”. Effect – For the files referenced above, the miscalculations resulted in a net overstatement in tenant rental income by $133 per month. Cause – Incomplete procedures were followed in regards to calculating tenant income. Recommendation – Procedures surrounding tenant rent calculation processes should be strengthened.
