Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Chillicothe Metropolitan Housing Authority, Ross County, Ohio (the Authority) under programs of the Federal government for the year ended September 30, 2025. 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 (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Authority, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the Authority.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the GAAP basis of accounting. 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.
The Authority has elected not to use the 15 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

Finding Details

CFR section 960.253, 960.257, and 960.259, requires that the Authority reexamine family income and composition at least once every 12 months and adjust the tenant rent and housing assistance payment as necessary using the documentation from third-party verification. Per review of tenant annual recertifications in the Public Housing Operating Fund Program we noted twenty-three of twenty-five reexaminations were not fully completed. The Authority should implement increased training on performing of annual re-certifications and a greater number of quality control reviews to identify errors before re-certifications go into effect.
