Finding Details

#2025‐003 – Significant Deficiency – Eligibility Compliance ‐ Housing Assistance Payments Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, CFDA #14.871 Criteria The Office of Management and Budget issuance of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) specifically states Public Housing Authorities must pay a monthly HAP on behalf of the family that corresponds with the amount on line 12u of the HUD‐50058. The HAP amount must be reflected on the HAP contract and HAP register. Condition During the course of the audit, it was noted that the amount of the HAP payment was miscalculated for two individuals utilizing the program. Cause The cause is due to not receiving all pay stubs and bank statements from the individual to correctly calculate their HAP payment. Effect The effect is that the HAP payment was overstated. Questioned Costs None Perspective Information The finding is related only to the HCV program funds. Identification as a repeat finding There is a similar finding in the prior year. Recommendation We recommend that the Authority implement additional review procedures over the HAP contract and documentation prior or soon after the file is finalized. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action We agree that this compliance requirement is listed in the compliance supplement. We will implement additional review procedures to capture any missing information or errors in the reporting. Additional training has been provided to the HCV Staff.
