Finding Details

Condition and Criteria: The Authority’s purpose for existence is providing decent safe and affordable housing to low-income persons. As such, HUD requires the Authority to comply with special tests and provisions relating to its Housing Choice Voucher program. The Authority must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the Authority must conduct quality control re-inspections. The Authority must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). During our testing of 40 HCV tenant files, we noted annual HQS inspections for all the tested units. However, the Authority did not perform the required quality control re-inspections. Auditor’s Recommendation: The Authority should perform housing quality control re-inspections according to HUD guidelines. Grantee Response: We will comply with the auditor’s recommendation.Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2024
