Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Housing Authority of Jackson County, under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in the schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirement, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Housing Authority of Jackson County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of Housing Authority of Jackson County.
Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. For cost-reimbursement awards, such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. For performance-based awards, expenditures reported represent amounts earned.
The Housing Authority of Jackson County has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The Housing Authority has one USDA Rural Rental Housing loan outstanding with a balance of $422,506 as of July 1, 2024. The amount listed for this loan includes the beginning of the period loan balance plus proceeds used during the year. The balance owing at the end of the period is $422,506.
