And 24 CFR 574.500 - Applicability of Uniform Administrative Requirements as per 2 CFR 200.332(F) Requirements for pass-through entities.

Federal program: AL #14.241 Housing Opportunities for Person With Aids. FY/Federal Award ID#: FY2023/See Schedule of Federal Expenditures. Federal agency: Department of Urban Development. Pass thru entity: Aids Foundation of Chicago. Criteria: If grant funds are used to provide rental assistance, the amount of the grant funds used to pay monthly assistance for an eligible person may not exceed the difference between the lower of the rent standard or reasonable rent. Per 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) the rent standard shall be established by the grantee and shall be no more than the published section 8 fair market rent (FMR) or the HUD approved community-wide exception rent for the unit size. Per 24CFR section 574.320(a)(3), the rent charged for a unit must be reasonable in relation to rents currently being charged for comparable united in the private unassisted market and must not be in excess of rents currently being charged by the owner for the comparable unassisted unites. Allowable assistance can be determined by telephone surveys, site visits after telephoning, or more extensive market surveys of available rental unites to assess the reasonableness of rents being charged. Condition/Prevalence: One out of sixty selections did not include the Foundations rent reasonableness checklist and certification or other supplemental documentation to satisfy the criteria above. The sample was not statistically valid. Questioned Costs: None noted. Cause: Lack of maintaining required eligibility compliance documentation as a result of personnel turnover. Effect: If supporting documentation for eligibility is not maintained there is a reasonable possibility that rental assistance allowed may exceed the difference between the lower of that rent standard pr reasonable rent. Recommendation: Rent reasonableness checklist and certification or other supplemental documentation to satisfy the criteria above should be maintained in the program participant’s file. View of Responsible Officials: Management will ensure the Foundation policies and procedures are communicated and all program participants files maintain the required documentation.

Grantees are responsible for ensuring that grants are administrated in accordance with the requirements of this part and other applicable laws. Grantees are responsible for ensuring that their respective subrecipients carry out activities in compliance with all applicable requirements. (b)Grant agreement. The grant agreement will provide that the grantee agrees, and will ensure that each subrecipient agrees, to: (1) Operate the program in accordance with the provisions of these regulations and other applicable HUD regulations; (2) Conduct an ongoing assessment of the housing assistance and supportive services required by the participants in the program; (3) Assure the adequate provision of supportive services to the participants in the program; and (4) Comply with such other terms and conditions, including recordkeeping and reports (which must include racial and ethnic data on participants) for the program monitoring and elevation purposes, as HUD may establish for purposes of carrying out the program in an effective and efficient manner. And 24 CFR 574.500 - Applicability of Uniform Administrative Requirements as per 2 CFR 200.332(F) Requirements for pass-through entities. Verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by Subpart F of this part when it is expected that the subrecipients Federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in 200.501. Condition: The foundation is not in compliance with recordkeeping for program monitoring and evaluation, as the Foundation does not have comprehensive risk-based/subrecipient monitoring policies and procedures. Questioned Costs: None noted. Cause: Staff were not aware of requirements to monitor program and fiscal compliance of project sponsors and document results and evidence of compliance or non-compliance. Effect: Granting agencies cannot determine whether the Foundation is ensuring that the project sponsor is carrying out activities in compliance with all applicable requirements. Recommendation: The Foundation provide written policies and procedures for the project sponsor monitoring and oversight, create a risk analysis form/process for all funded project sponsors and create a timeline to monitor project sponsors based on the risk analysis completed. View of Responsible Officials: The Foundation has updated its Quality Management Plan to include comprehensive subrecipient monitoring policies. The Foundations Quality Management team is working with all programming to implement a robust monitoring process, including risk assessments, adherence to grantor regulations, service delivery, and program outcomes.
