Special Tests and Provisions (Replacement Reserves) – Section 8 Project-Based Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 14.182 Recommendation: We recommend that the Agency implements controls to ensure that they are receiving and reviewing the budget and escrow memos with required replacement reserve deposits for each project. We also recommend that the Agency implements controls to ensure that the projects are making their required monthly deposits. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Housing Management Officers (HMO) will continue reviewing the escrow funding levels throughout the year during the following processes: • MOR/QOR reviews (at least quarterly) • Tax disbursement processing (quarterly for most properties) • Budget Reviews (annually - a complete escrow funding analysis and update is part of the process) • ROE reviews (as submitted by the development) Asset Management will work with Finance and IT to develop an Escrow Arrears report (MITAS) that will list all delinquent escrow funding. This report will help the Asset Managers determine if developments are funding per the Escrow Change Memo from that year’s approved budget. The Escrow Change memo is sent to each development and to Finance once the budget is approved. Funding levels are based upon a thorough escrow analysis completed by the HMO. A Funding Arrears Letter will also be created and added to the workflow. This letter will be sent whenever the HMO determines that the development is not funding at the required level. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Katone Glover (Assistant Director of Asset Management) Planned completion date for corrective action plan: These changes should be completed by November 2024. If the U.S. Department of Treasury or U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have questions regarding this plan, please contact William Schmidt, Assistant Director HAF/ERMA Operations at 609-278-7472 and Katone Glover, Director of Asset Management | Asset Management Division at 609-278-7380.

The policy for the return of security deposits received on site is consistent throughout the company. This is taught to incoming sta􀆯 members to make sure that the proper timeline is adhered to during the move out process each month. The policy is specific in saying that the paperwork and letter notifying the tenant(s) status of their security deposit whether it is a refund, or they owe additional funds upon vacating from their apartment is sent by the manager within 7 – 10 business days. The policy is attached for reference. The security deposit refund is also checked by our Regional by the 15th of each month and our inhouse Accounting Department to make sure that all security deposits are completed and sent out prior to 30 days from the day that the resident moves out. Going into 2024, this training is scheduled throughout the year and always available on our HAU Training Programs accessible to all employees. The training is for new hires and existing employees to reiterate the process to make sure all employees are aware of the sensitive timeline associated with the return of the security deposit for our tenants.
