The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative (Beacon) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. This schedule includes wholly owned entities, and excludes limited partnerships and nonprofit organizations that receive separate audited financial statements in accordance with either the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (the “Guide”) issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Inspector General or the Uniform Guidance, when applicable. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Uniform Guidance). Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements.
Federal expenditures for the Community Development Block/Entitlement Grants ($270,000), Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ($2,941,152), and Housing Trust Fund ($7,485,710) consist of $10,696,862 of new loans received during the year plus the balance at the beginning of the year of loans outstanding from previous years ($5,620,748) for which the grantor imposes continuing compliance requirements. The balance of the loans outstanding as of June 30, 2025 is $16,317,610.

Finding Details

2025-001: Debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified individual or entity Federal Department: Department of the Treasury Assistance Listing #: 21.027 Internal Controls Material Weakness Category of Finding – Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Criteria - Uniform Guidance requires that Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative determine whether any individual or entity receiving federal funds is currently debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified by the Department of the Treasury, or any other Federal department or agency, and report within 30 days. Based on this criteria, Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative was required to determine whether vendors selected to complete the construction of the housing project known as 545 Snelling LLC were debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified prior to making any payments to them. Condition - Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative could not produce documentation or did not perform any procedures to determine whether vendors that were selected were currently debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified. Context - We tested a sample of the vendors selected for the construction of 545 Snelling LLC. The results of our testing indicated that none of the vendors selected were suspended or debarred. Cause - Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative personnel did not retain the required documentation. Effect - Disbursement of federal funds to a person or entity that is currently debarred or suspended could occur and not be reported. Failure to report such a disbursement may result in required repayment of the federal award received by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative and render Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative ineligible to apply for additional federal awards in future funding rounds. Recommendation - We recommend that management implement a policy to test and retain results whether individuals or entities receiving funds are currently debarred or suspended, and to report the results if necessary. Auditee’s comments and response - Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative is currently updating its policies to require retaining documentation from checks that verify whether individuals or entities serving as vendors are debarred or suspended.
