Condition: During the year ended June 30, 2024, we identified that the Corporation had one move-in. The Corporation maintained a waiting list, however, the Corporation did not maintain evidence of when changes were made to the waiting list, an action was taken, or an activity specific to an applicant occurred. As a result, we could not determine if the Corporation complied with requirements of its tenant selection plan in selecting an applicant from the waiting list. Questioned Costs: None Effect: The Corporation was not in compliance with the requirements under the program. Cause: The Corporation did not have appropriate controls in place to maintain an auditable record of changes to the waiting list with appropriate notations for changes made to the waiting list.
