Finding Details

Administration of waiting list 24 CFR 982.204 states “except for special admissions, participants must be selected from the PHA waiting list. The PHA must select participants from the waiting list in accordance with admission policies in the PHA administra􀀼ve plan.” Management did not keep a stagnant copy of the waiting list. The list in the accounting software is perpetual list, removing tenants as they are housed. Due to the software only tracking waiting list perpetually, there was no way to test new move-ins were pulled in accordance with PHA administrative plan. Management was unaware of the requirement. Unable to verify internal controls or compliance during audit period on this compliance point. Print waiting list each time new move-in is completed and retain printed list for a two year period. Management agrees with the audit finding and has prepared a Corrective Action Plan (CAP).
