Action Taken: The Department has taken immediate corrective action to address the deficiencies identified in the files audited. All noted discrepancies are being reviewed and are in the process of being corrected, and revised Form HUD-50058 submissions will be completed and transmitted, where required. The Department maintains established procedures, systems, and internal controls designed to support compliance with applicable HUD requirements. To further strengthen these controls, enhancements are currently underway to improve the timeliness of processing activities, ensure accurate and thorough income verification, and enforce proper application of abatements. Additionally, the Department is implementing more robust quality control (QC) measures to verify that all required documentation is consistently obtained, reviewed, and retained. To reinforce oversight, the Department is expanding its existing QC and Housing and Community Development (HCD) review processes. This includes the implementation of a front-line supervisory review of a representative sample of recertifications prior to the submission of Form HUD-50058. This added layer of review is intended to proactively identify and correct potential errors, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and full regulatory compliance. If the Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this plan, please call Nathan Kogon, Director at (786) 469-4120. The process to start correcting the issue discussed above is currently underway, and significant progress is expected for the next fiscal year end audit.
