Audit 413713

Eligibility – Moving to Work Demonstration Program - 14.881 Eligibility – Housing Voucher Cluster – 14.871/14.879 Significant Deficiency and Reportable Noncompliance (Repeat Finding 2024-001) Statement of Condition and Criteria The Authority did not consistently perform required participant recertifications and certification updates within the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Moving to Work (MTW) programs. During testing, we identified instances where participant files and Forms HUD-50058 were not updated to reflect current household information when certification actions were required. Cause Corrective actions related to participant recertification and eligibility processing were not fully implemented and operating effectively throughout the audit period. Effect or Potential Effect Participant eligibility records were not always based on current household information, increasing the risk of inaccurate tenant rent calculations, subsidy determinations, HUD reporting, and noncompliance with program requirements. Recommendation We recommend the Authority strengthen monitoring controls over recertification and eligibility processing within both the HCV and MTW programs to ensure participant information is updated timely and eligibility determinations are supported by current household information. Management’s Response Management agrees with the finding and corrective action is in progress as detailed in the Corrective Action Plan.
