Finding Reference Number: 2023-001
Statement of Concurrence or N onconcurrence:
Louisville Metro Housing Authority agrees with Cherry Bekaert in reference to audit finding 2023-001.
Corrective Action: LMHA has implemented a comprehensive plan to resolve the backlog of recertifications that necessitated the roll forward of tenant's prior year form HUD-50058 family report without updating family income and composition. First and foremost, representing the rolling forward of the tenant's HUD-50058 as a biennial recertification has been discontinued. Compliance staff has implemented training of Housing Specialists and other staff to assure biennial recertification and use of HUD-50058 Type 2 ("Annual Recertification") will now be compliant. LMHA has contracted with a vendor to assist with the recertification process. LMHA has also restructured workflows to provide efficiencies and accountability that will promote compliance. LMHA is also working with various HUD departments and personnel to assess noncompliance and how to move forward. In addition to resolving these issues with HUD, LMHA has engaged its Financial Auditor, Cherry Bekaert, to review the Housing Choice Voucher Program for process, compliance, and internal control.
Name of Contact Person: Sarah Galloway, Special Assistant to the Executive Director, 502-569-3422, galloway@lmhal.org
Projected Completion Date: Louisville Metro Housing Authority implemented the corrective action measure in March 2024. LMHA will monitor the issue on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with the HCV program.
