Title: 5.

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The Organization did not charge any indirect costs to the program during the year ended December 31, 2023. The basis used to determine notes outstanding is 1) the amount of proceeds received during the fiscal year plus 2) the balance of notes from previous years for which the federal government imposes continuing compliance requirements plus 3) any interest subsidy, cash or administrative cost allowance received. The Organization has signed promissory note agreements with the grantors, which require repayment upon the earlier of the maturity date stated in the note agreement or upon request of the grantor if the respective asset is converted to non-qualified HOME Investment Partnership Program activity. The notes are secured by a deed of trust and assignment of rents on the rental property for which the funds were used for construction. The balances of notes outstanding as of December 31, 2023 equaled the amount of federal expenditures of loan programs for the year ended December 31, 2023 and totaled $8,869,144.

Finding Details

Beneficiary Reporting (Internal Control) Condition: The Organization’s internal control procedures did not include reviewing the HOME Program Housing Beneficiary Reports for accuracy prior to submission to the applicable oversite agency. Criteria: The Organization is required to submit HOME Program Housing Beneficiary Reports in connection with the HOME funds it has received based on tenant income certifications. Cause: The Organization hired a third party vendor to prepare the reports but did not have a review process to ensure the information in the report was correct for the entire year ended December 31, 2023. Effect: We noted one error of the amount of monthly gross income reported on a January 2023 beneficiary report filed with the City of Las Vegas. We selected 28-unit reporting to test from a total population of 148 units, which is not a statistically valid selection. The selection was 2 units on the population of 14 reports. The error did not result in the unit not meeting the affordability requirements or any other federally reported requirement. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: The finding was a repeat of a prior year finding.
