Audit Firm: CohnReznick Period Covered by Audit October 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025 Corrective Action Plan Prepared By: Name: Nancy Thomas Position Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Telephone Number: 336-917-6066 Finding No. 2025-002; Eligibility - Material Weakness PUBLIC HOUSING Name of Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Name: Public Housing Operating Fund Assistance Listing Number: 14.850 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: NC012-00000325D; NC012-00000625D; NC012-00000825D; NC012-00000925D; NC012-00001225D; NC012-00002125D; NC012-00002225D; NC012-00003025D; NC012-00003125D; NC012-00003225D; NC012-00034325D; NC012-00003525D; NC012-00003625D; NC012-00003725D; NC012-00003825D; NC012-00004025D; NC012-00004125D Criteria: In accordance with Uniform Guidance, internal controls are required to be in place to ensure compliance with federal requirements and to maintain complete and accurate participant files as noted in 24 CFR 5.233. Condition and Context: Our testing of 40 participant files noted the following: • No electronic income verification was done within the required time period for 20 of 40 participant selections. Effect or Potential Effect: The Housing Authority of the City of Winston-Salem (“ASPIRE”) is not in compliance with federal requirements regarding Eligibility. Cause: Tenant lease files were not maintained, and tenant eligibility was not determined in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown Identification as a Repeat Finding: This finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: ASPIRE should maintain complete and accurate participant files to ensure compliance with federal requirements. Views of Responsible Official(s) and Planned Corrective Actions: ASPIRE will improve internal controls to maintain complete and accurate participant files to ensure compliance with federal requirements. CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BE TAKEN: 1. No electronic income verification was done within the required time period for 20 of 40 participant selections. Response: Electronic Income Verification (EIV) reports were not completed within the required timeframe for 20 of the 40 public housing tenant files selected for review. The delays were the result of staff oversight and a lack of adequate monitoring to ensure EIV reviews were completed and documented within HUD-required timeframes. To address this issue, Public Housing staff have been retrained on EIV requirements, including HUD-required review and documentation deadlines. Management has reinforced expectations regarding the timely completion of EIV reviews and implemented additional monitoring procedures to ensure compliance. The Assistant Director has also established a tracking system and compliance calendar to assist staff in monitoring and completing required EIV reviews within the prescribed deadlines. In addition, the Assistant Director of Compliance conducts monthly reviews of a random sample of tenant files to verify compliance with EIV requirements and identify any deficiencies including the 120-day move in EIV reports and requires corrective action. Any findings are addressed through staff coaching, corrective action, and additional training as necessary. These measures are intended to strengthen internal controls, improve compliance monitoring, and ensure EIV reviews are completed in accordance with HUD requirements.

Audit Firm: CohnReznick Period Covered by Audit October 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025 Corrective Action Plan Prepared By: Name: Nancy Thomas Position Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Telephone Number: 336-917-6066 Findings and Questioned Costs - Major Federal Award Program Audit Finding No. 2025-001; Eligibility and Reporting - Material Weakness-HCV Voucher Program Name of Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Name: Housing Voucher Cluster (Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program; Mainstream Vouchers Program) Assistance Listing Number: 14.871; 14.879 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: NC012VO 2025; NC012EF 2025; NC012DV 2025 Criteria: In accordance with Uniform Guidance, internal controls are required to be in place to ensure compliance with federal requirements and to maintain complete and accurate participant files as noted in CFR 5.233, 982.151, 982.405(d), and 982.516. Condition and Context: Our testing of 40 participant files noted the following: • No support was able to be provided regarding tenant lease files for 4 of 40 participant selections. • No tenant addendum was able to be provided for 1 of 40 participant selections. • No HAP contract was able to be provided for 2 of 40 participant selections. • No electronic income verification was done within the required time period for 13 of 40 participant selections. • Annual recertifications were not completed timely for 3 of 40 participant selections. Effect or Potential Effect: The Housing Authority of the City of Winston-Salem (“ASPIRE”) is not in compliance with federal requirements regarding Eligibility and Reporting. Cause: Tenant lease files were not maintained, and tenant eligibility was not determined in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown Identification as a Repeat Finding: Repeat finding 2024-001 Recommendation: ASPIRE should maintain complete and accurate participant files to ensure compliance with federal requirements. Views of Responsible Official(s) and Planned Corrective Actions: ASPIRE will improve internal controls to maintain complete and accurate participant files to ensure compliance with federal requirements. CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BE TAKEN: 1. No support was able to be provided regarding tenant lease files for 4 of 40 participant selections. Response: The agency underwent a relocation of its main office and experienced the loss of five Housing Choice Voucher Specialists, which necessitated the engagement of a contractor to assume responsibility for more than 1,800 participant case files. Due to the transition of these caseloads to the contractor and the limited storage capacity at the agency's new office location, physical participant files were transferred to an off-site storage facility. During the process of boxing, inventorying, and relocating more than 5,000 physical files, four participant files were inadvertently misplaced. Upon discovery, management took immediate action to reconstruct the missing files using available electronic records, third-party documentation, and information maintained within Yardi. To mitigate the risk of future file loss and strengthen document retention practices, the agency implemented enhanced procedures effective January 1, 2025. Staff are now required to electronically upload and attach all supporting documentation to the applicable HUD Form 50058 action within Yardi, in addition to maintaining the required physical file. This dual-record retention process ensures that participant documentation is preserved in both electronic and hard-copy formats, providing redundancy and improving accessibility, accountability, and compliance with record retention requirements. 2. No tenant addendum was able to be provided for 1 of 40 participant selections. Response: The absence of the tenant addendum was the result of an oversight by the Housing Choice Voucher Specialist. To prevent similar occurrences in the future, staff have been reminded of the requirement to maintain complete participant files, including all required HUD forms and addenda. In addition, the agency now requires that tenant addendums and all supporting documentation be maintained in both the participant's electronic file within Yardi and the physical file. This dual-record retention process provides an additional level of quality control and helps ensure that required documentation is readily available for future reviews and audits. 3. No HAP contract was able to be provided for 2 of 40 participant selections. Response: The agency was unable to provide a copy of the HAP Contract for two of the forty participant files selected for review. This was the result of an oversight in the maintenance of the participant files. Upon notification, management conducted a review of the files and implemented corrective measures to strengthen document retention practices. Staff have been retrained on the requirement to maintain complete participant files, including all required Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contracts and supporting documentation. In addition, the agency now requires that HAP Contracts be maintained in both the participant's electronic file within Yardi and the physical file. Management has also implemented periodic file reviews to verify that required documentation is present and properly retained. These measures are intended to improve recordkeeping controls and prevent similar occurrences in the future. 4. No electronic income verification was done within the required time period for 13 of 40 participant selections. Response: Electronic Income Verification (EIV) reports were not completed within the required timeframe for 13 of the 40 participant files selected for review. The delays were the result of staff oversight and workload challenges experienced during a period of significant staffing turnover within the Housing Choice Voucher Program. To address this issue, Housing Choice Voucher staff have been retrained on EIV requirements, including required timeframes for obtaining and reviewing EIV reports. Management has reinforced expectations regarding timely completion and documentation of EIV reviews. Additionally, the department auditor conducts monthly reviews of a random sample of participant files to verify compliance with EIV requirements and identify any deficiencies requiring corrective action. These measures are intended to strengthen compliance monitoring and ensure EIV reviews are completed within HUD-required timeframes. 5. Annual recertifications were not completed timely for 3 of 40 participant selections. Response: Annual recertifications were not completed within the required timeframe for three of the forty participant files selected for review. The delays were primarily attributable to staffing shortages and caseload transitions that occurred during the audit period, resulting in increased workloads and processing delays. To address this issue, staff have been retrained on annual recertification requirements and processing timelines. Management has reinforced expectations regarding the timely completion of annual recertifications and implemented additional monitoring procedures to track upcoming and overdue recertifications. The Director has also developed an Annual Recertification Calendar for staff to follow. This calendar outlines each step of the annual recertification process and establishes deadlines to ensure timely completion of all required actions. In addition, the department auditor conducts monthly reviews of a random sample of participant files to verify compliance and identify any deficiencies requiring corrective action. These measures are intended to improve timeliness, strengthen oversight, and ensure annual recertifications are completed in accordance with HUD requirements.

Comments on Findings and Recommendations: We concur with the auditor’s suggestions for maintaining supporting documentation to provide evidence of the Agency’s compliance with requirements applicable to each program funded under Uniform Guidance requirements. B. Actions Taken or Planned: Management implemented changes to ensure that upon move-ins a copy of the executed lease is obtained, and management has included on the check list completed with each move in a reference to obtaining and scanning the new lease. The lease is scanned into the Corporation’s web-based system and retained for as long as the person remains on the program. Management will continue to evaluate their controls with respect to current federal awards and requirements to ensure accurate information captured, reported and maintained.

Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges the finding relative to formal documentation for eligible project costs and will enhance review procedures for monthly WIFIA loans draws to have written contemporaneous evidence from the lender in addition to preliminary approval received for project transfers or changes (i.e. renaming of subprojects listed in the loan closing documents within the same scope approved in the loan). The project changes materialized due to a change in expected timing of Sewer Utility work included in joint projects with the City’s Department of Public Works. As a result, standalone projects were executed to complete the required work by the October 2025 deadline mandated in the Sewer Consent Decree. The changes were discussed with the lender upon notification from the Department of Public Works and included in WIFIA quarterly reporting while the formal project approvals are in process. The Utility’s Project Delivery Unit Director is responsible for ensuring that this corrective action is accomplished with an estimated timeline for completion by September 30, 2026. The WIFIA project scope is defined as: I. Water Line Replacement via the Joint Infrastructure (JIRR) Program; II. Sewer Line Replacement via the Joint Infrastructure Recovery Roads (JIRR) Program; III. Sewer System Evaluation and Rehabilitation Program (SSERP); and IV. Sewer Force Main Replacement and Improvement. The eligible activities include, restoration and replacement of damaged gravity sanitary sewer mains, manhole rehabilitation and repair, CIPP lining and point repairs, Water line replacement and repair, Roadway restoration and ADA curb ramp improvements associated with the utility work.

2025-005 Allowability – Interprogram Activity Public Housing Operating Fund ALN 14.850 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Other matter required to be reported in accordance with Uniform Guidance Condition: The Authority maintains a material interprogram receivable balance in the asset management program (“AMP”), which is due from other programs of the Authority. This interprogram receivable increased by $373,091 from the September 30, 2024 balance of $433,981, for a total receivable balance of $807,072 as of September 30, 2025. Auditor Recommendations: We recommend that the Authority immediately discontinue using Public Housing Operating Fund resources to fund costs or cash shortfalls of other programs or component units. The Authority should prepare a detailed reconciliation of all interprogram receivable and payable balances by program and implement a repayment plan to restore the Public Housing Operating Fund. We further recommend that the Authority implement written cash management and interprogram accounting procedures to prevent future unauthorized advances. These procedures should include monthly reconciliation of all interprogram balances, supervisory review, and approval of interprogram activity. Management Response: Management acknowledges and accepts responsibility for the deficiencies in internal control over allowability and eligibility and are committed to implementing corrective actions that address missing documentation and lack of verifiable procurement procedures to ensure compliance. Reconcile intercompany balances • CHA is currently working with its fee accountant to complete this process Cease Additional Borrowing • Effective immediately, CHA will discontinue the practice of increasing interprogram borrowings from AMP 1 except where expressly authorized by HUD regulations. Implementing a Repayment Plan • CHA will implement a repayment plan to prioritize repayment from unrestricted or otherwise eligible funding sources in compliance with HUD requirements. Monthly Interprogram Reconciliation • Finance staff and fee accountant will reconcile all interprogram receivable and payable balances monthly. • Any new interprogram activity will be reviewed by the Executive Director and Fee Accountant to ensure allowability before recording. Strengthen Budget Monitoring • Management will perform monthly budget-to-actual reviews for every program to identify operating deficits before they require interprogram borrowing. • Programs experiencing budget shortfalls will implement corrective spending measures or identify alternative eligible funding sources. Improve Cash Flow Management • With the assistance of the fee accountant, CHA will prepare monthly cash flow projections for each program to monitor liquidity and prevent the use of restricted Public Housing Operating Funds for other programs. Implement Internal Control Procedures • Written procedures governing interprogram transactions will be incorporated into the Authority's financial policies. • All interprogram transactions will require documentation supporting the purpose, funding source, and regulatory allowability. Oversight by Fee Accountant • The Authority's Fee Accountant will review interprogram balances during monthly financial statement preparation and report unusual activity or growing receivable balances to management. Board Oversight • The Board of Commissioners will receive monthly financial reports that include interprogram receivable and payable balances to provide ongoing oversight of repayment progress and compliance. Monitoring • The Executive Director and Finance Department will monitor compliance with this corrective action plan monthly and adjust operating budgets as necessary to eliminate future interprogram borrowing. Name of Responsible Person(s): Jackie Otto, Executive Director, Sherdana Wade, Director of Operations, Michelle Guidry, Finance Director Projected Completion Date: Some of the corrective activities are underway. We anticipate full compliance ahead of the June 30, 2027 audited submission.

Need Analysis Planned Corrective Action: Management acknowledges the audit finding related to errors in need analysis, including instances of over-awarded Federal Direct Loans and under-awarded Pell Grants. These errors were the result of deficiencies in oversight and review processes within the Financial Aid Office during the audit period. The identified discrepancies have been corrected. To address this issue, the College has implemented significant changes within the Financial Aid Office, including elevating leadership to the Assistant Vice President (AVP) level and hiring experienced, qualified staff. These changes strengthen both technical expertise and supervisory capacity. Additionally, the College has enhanced review procedures related to awarding, including increased oversight of need analysis calculations and enrollment verification prior to disbursement. These measures are intended to improve accuracy and ensure compliance with Title IV requirements. Management believes these corrective actions have addressed the root causes of the finding and will continue to monitor awarding processes to ensure ongoing compliance.

Enrollment Reporting to NSLDS Planned Corrective Action: Management acknowledges the audit finding regarding untimely and inaccurate reporting of enrollment information to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). The issue was primarily due to a lack of awareness regarding discrepancies between reporting through the National Student Clearinghouse to the NSLDS, as well as complications following the College’s recent upgrade to Jenzabar One (J1). After the upgrade, certain internal reports did not function as expected, and resolving these reporting issues required additional time and coordination between the Director of Institutional Research (IR) and the Registrar. The Director of IR has continued to work in coordination with the Registrar and the Assistant Vice President (AVP) for Financial Aid to ensure accurate and timely reporting to both NSLDS and the Clearinghouse. The Director of IR now provides biweekly status reports to the Vice President for Administration to support ongoing oversight and accountability.

El Proyecto del Barrio, Inc. acknowledges the finding related to the incorrect administration of sliding fee discounts. We are committed to strengthening the administration of the sliding fee program to ensure full compliance with grant requirements. To address these issues and prevent recurrence, the following corrective actions are being implemented: 1. Revised Application and Documentation Requirements: o The Sliding Fee Program application forms are being updated to include structured sections for staff to record income from supporting documentation (e.g., pay stubs, tax returns), rather than relying on the patient to write their income on the application, which will greatly reduce incorrect income stated on support. Staff will be responsible for calculating annual gross income based on supporting documentation and have a checklist to ensure documentation is complete and retained/uploaded in the system. 2. Two-Step Review Process: o A staff member (the “Preparer) will calculate the annual gross income, determine the household size, and determine the eligible sliding fee discount, and a second staff member (the “Reviewer”) will independently review and verify the Preparer’s calculations and determinations based on the supporting documentation. Both parties will document their review of the application to establish accountability. 3. Staff Training and Ongoing Competency Checks: o Comprehensive refresher training will be provided to all staff involved in the sliding fee program process, including the use of the poverty guidelines, income calculation methods, the new forms, entering income and household size into the system, and uploading support to the system. 4. Formal Ongoing Monitoring and Review: o The Billing Department will conduct regular audits of completed sliding fee applications and eligibility determination forms to ensure compliance with policies. Errors will be tracked and addressed through corrective action and coaching.

Views of Responsible Officials: HIPS experienced significant delays in receiving approved budgets, Notice of grant awards (NOGAs) and Purchase Orders (POs) from the grantors. HIPS cannot submit reports without these documents. For these reasons, HIPS could not meet the requirement "timely submission of required reports". We hope that in the future, HIPS will receive the pre-requisite documentation on time. In addition, the grantors' systems are set in a chronological order and therefore even in instances where HIPS is ready to submit reports HIPS can only submit one month and wait for that month's report to be approved before HIPS can submit the next month. This system,albeit important in grant management, limits HIPS ability to fulfil "timely submission of required reports" requirements. HIPS will improve documentation on this issue.

To address the noted deficiencies in tenant file documentation, staff and supervisors will continue to follow established processes. Supervisors continue to track and monitor productivity and progress. The current supervisor has implemented clear and concise instructions and rules for completing and managing files. All forms are now saved in tenant files, and not on individual laptops as they were in the past. The supervisor has also implemented schedules and tracking systems for monthly voucher submissions, annual recertifications, quarterly income checks and other processes in the occupancy workflow. In addition, the supervisor and the lead staff for housing compliance perform regular checks on tenant application paperwork and random checks on tenant files to ensure accuracy and completeness and correct any mistakes. Ongoing staff training, support and mentoring continues.

Corrective Action Plan (CAP): The College has reviewed the student identified in this finding and confirmed that the student had been placed on financial aid suspension during a previous term due to exceeding the 150% maximum timeframe for program completion, but the suspension status was not reflected when the student's enrollment was subsequently evaluated, resulting in the student receiving Title IV aid for which they were not eligible during the period under audit. The College has identified that this occurred in connection with how the student's enrollment was recorded across programs within Anthology, the College's student information system, and is continuing to investigate the precise cause of the system behavior that allowed the student's Satisfacto1y Academic Progress (SAP)/150% status to not carry forward or recalculate appropriately. The aid improperly disbursed to this student has been identified, and repayment has been completed.

Community Mental Health Services of Livingston County Single Audit Report: Corrective Action Plan Year ended September 30, 2025 Finding 2025-001- Suspension and Debarment Requirement: As required by 2 CFR 200.214, Non-Federal entities are subject to the non-procurement debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Orders 12549 and 12689, 2 CFR part 180. The regulations in 2 CFR part 180 restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. Condition: The vendor used for this grant was not checked for suspension and debarment prior to execution of the contract. Also, the contract did not include certification that vendor was not suspended or debarred. Questioned Cost: None. Recommendation: We recommend that the CMHSP update contract language to include certification that vendor is not suspended or debarred. Corrective Action Plan LCCMHA will address the concern raised by RPC and agrees with the above recommendation. The Accounting Manager and Associate Director of Finance and Contracts will work with the Contract Manager to modify existing contract language to include certification that vendors are not suspended or debarred. This change will be implemented for fiscal year 2027 commencing 10/01/26. Responsible Party: Jim Kubus, Accounting Manager Anticipated completion date: September 30, 2026
