The first verification will involve an employee verifying the client's information both manually against eligibility guidelines and electronically with program software. If the information is found to meet eligibility, a document will be signed and provided to the participant. The second verification will involve the client giving the signed documents to a second employee, who will also provide confirmation of eligibility and approve distribution.

Park City's Response Rent Adjustment Letters Park City has implemented the requirement that all residents are to complete and sign their annual recertification forms within thirty days of receipt. This policy aims to streamline our administrative processes and ensure that all resident information remains up to date. Also, as PCC transitions to Rent Café for recertifications, we anticipate this will make the process easier for residents and staff. Income Verification Forms Park City requires all income verification forms and re-examination documents to be scanned and securely stored in Yardi, our new digital management system. Storing documents digitally helps us maintain compliance with regulatory requirements by ensuring that all records are accurately maintained and readily available for audits and inspections.

Park City's Response Park City has contracted with an outside firm to manage, staff and run the Housing Choice Voucher program. In the twenty instances where the utility allowance amount does not agree with HUD Form 50058, there are sixteen cases where the utility allowance does not agree with the HUD Form 50058 reviewed and four cases where the incorrect utility allowance year was used in HUD Form 50058. In the sixteen cases where the utility allowance does not agree with HUD Form 50058 reviewed, it appears that the incorrect structure type was used in the calculation. The contractor has established structure type definitions and distributed them to staff. The contractor has conducted an internal training about how to determine structure type to ensure the accuracy of the utility allowance. In the four cases where the incorrect utility allowance year was used, these transactions were completed prior to the establishment of the 2023 utility allowances. The transactions should have been corrected after they were approved. The contractor will establish a listing of all applicable transactions completed with an effective date of November 1, 2024. Any transactions submitted prior to the approval date of the utility allowances will be reviewed and corrected.
