Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 and 14.879 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions for the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions for the Mainstream Vouchers Program. Criteria: HQS Enforcement. For units under HAP contract that fail to meet HQS, the PHA must require the owner to correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours after the inspections and all other deficiencies within 30 days or within a specified PHA-approved extension. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were failed inspections that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There were approximately one hundred and thirty-eight (138) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers' units and seven (7) Mainstream Vouchers' units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of fourteen (14) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers' and one (1) Mainstream Vouchers' failed inspections, two (2) and one (1) failed inspections, respectively, did not pass reinspection within 30 days. Housing assistance payments were not abated nor was the tenant relocated. Known Questioned Costs: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers $814 Mainstream Vouchers $1,608 Cause: There is a significant deficiency for the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and a material weakness for the Mainstream Vouchers Program in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance and the Mainstream Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The Authority will increase oversight in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs to ensure that established internal control policies related to HQS inspections are being followed on a timely basis. Ann Malfavon, Executive Director, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2024.

Finding 2023-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Reasonable Rent Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions. Criteria: Reasonable Rent. The PHA must do the following: The PHA must determine that the rent to owner is reasonable at the time of initial leasing. Also, the PHA must determine reasonable rent during the term of the contract (a) before any increase in the rent to owner, and (b) at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 5 percent decrease in the published Fair Market Rent in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The PHA must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to owner is a reasonable rent (initially and during the term of the HAP contract) (24 CFR sections 982.4, 982.54(d)(15), 982.158(f)(7), and 982.507). Condition: There were approximately one hundred and sixty-three (163) newly leased units. Of a sample size of sixteen (16) newly leased units, three (3) unit's documentation of reasonable rent did not include the minimum required number of comparable units of three (3), as stated in the Authority's Section 8 Administrative Policy. Known Questioned Costs: $21,531 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor.

Finding 2023-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Selections from the Waiting List Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions. Criteria: Selections from the Waiting List. The PHA must have written policies in its HCVP administrative plan for selecting applicants from the waiting list and PHA documentation must show that the PHA follows these policies when selecting applicants from the waiting list. Except for as provided in 24 CFR section 982.203(Special admission (non-waiting list)), all families admitted to the program must be selected from the waiting list. “Selection” from the waiting list generally occurs when the PHA notifies a family whose name reaches the top of the waiting list to come in to verify eligibility for admission (24CFR sections 5.410, 982.54(d), and 982.201 through 982.207). Condition: Based upon inspection of the waiting list provided to us during the time of audit, the new move-in list and discussions with management, it could not be determined with any certainty that new move-ins were selected from the wait list in an order that is in accordance with the Authority’s policy. Context: Of a sample size of fifteen (15) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers' new move-ins, one (1) could not be traced to the Authority's waiting list. Known Questioned Costs: $4,336 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to selections from the waiting list. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to selections from the waiting list. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority agrees with the finding and will increase oversight on the maintenance of the waiting list and process of housing applicants to better monitor adequacy with compliance requirements. Ann Malfavon, Executive Director, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2024.

2023-003: Housing Voucher Cluster – Eligibility – Document Retention Name of Contact Person(s): Allison Gallagher, Director of Housing Choice Vouchers Management’s Views and Corrective Action Plan: Signed HAP contracts and lease agreements are required for every new lease up and MaineHousing will not release payment to the owner until those signed documents are received. These agreements state the contract rent and subsidy amounts at the time of the initial lease. Annually, each tenant is recertified and a contract amendment is generated with the current contract rent and subsidy amounts listed. These amendments are filed with the original documents. Management is certain that proper rent and subsidy payments were made based on annual and interim recertification documents on file. A new electronic file retention process was implemented in 2022, which involved organizing and converting volumes of physical files to electronic files. Since implementation of the new process, we have determined that some unit information for certain tenants was inadvertently discarded during conversion. Program staff are identifying missing unit information as they process annual recertification or when an outside party requests it and reaching out to the owner to obtain a copy of the signed original documents. The two HAP and lease contracts identified in this finding have been obtained. Management believes that the electronic file retention process currently in place is working well and this was isolated to the period of time when files were being organized and scanned from physical files to electronic files.

HQS Enforcement Description of Findging: Reinspection, follow up and/or abatement documentation was missing for 5 out of 25 initial failed inspections. Statement of Concurrence or NonConcurrence: Procedures were not in place to properly document the corrections of deficiencies and abate the housing assistance payments when necessary. EFFECT The Authority may have made housing assistance payments to landlords for units that failed to meet housing quality standards. Corrective Action: Interviews are underway to hire an internal inspector which will allow for better follow through and communication as opposed to a contracted inspector. The HCV Director will monitor inspections completed for proper disposition and also run reports on units due in the upcoming month to make sure they are executed and updated in Pha Web. Procedures be strengthened to ensure that documentation is maintained for all inspections and enforcements. Maribel Aguliar

Recommendation: Ideally, the Borough would hire the number of staff necessary to segregate all duties. However, we realize segregation of duties is not practical, if not impossible. Because of this internal control situation, the responsibility of the Business Manager is greatly increased because the Board must rely on his knowledge of the everyday operations to discover any material changes in the Borough’s financial position. Management’s Response: The Borough recognizes that the limited number of staff adds to the risk associated with the daily operations. To mitigate this risk, the Assistant Borough Manager has to take an active role in the day-to-day operations of the Business Unit. She actively reviews all reconciliations and receipts to ensure they are posted to the accounting system properly. In addition, Borough Council approves all disbursements.
