The CFP provides financial assistance to public housing authorities to make improvements to existing public housing units. Compliance with regard to this finding can be found at 24CFR905.104. Condition and Context: Per 24CFR905.104, all HUD approvals required in this part must be in writing and from an official designated to grant such approval. Prior to receiving HUD's written approval of the Authorities budget change request. The Authority requested and received a disbursement of 1480 "General Capital Activity" funds and treated these funds as if they were 1406 "Operation" funds. Cause: The cause of this noncompliance is due to the lack of understanding when funds can be disbursed to the Authority. Effect: The effect of this noncompliance is the potential for HUD to impose sanctions on the PHA, which can be found at 24CFR905.804.
