Finding Details

2022-1 Excess Residual Receipts Condition: The Project did not prepare a HUD 9250 to remit excess residual receipts, nor did it mail a check or transmit a wire of those funds. Criteria: According to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, owners subject to a Section 202 or 811 Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) are required to remit any excess balance in a Residual Receipts account, greater than $250 per unit, to HUD?s Accounting Center upon termination or renewal of the PRAC contract. Effect: Residual receipts balance is $598,546 as of December 31, 2022. The allowable balance is $10,000 ($250 X 40 units), resulting in excess residual receipts. Recommendation: I recommend the Property prepare the HUD 9250 requesting to remit excess funds to HUD.
2022-2 No Bids Provided Condition: Management failed to provide bids for procured services that exceeded $10,000 or more.
