U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Housing Voucher Cluster (Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers AL # 14.871) Material Weakness 2023-001 Special Tests – Reasonable Rent Recommendation: We recommend the Authority enhance internal controls to ensure internal controls over the Reasonable Rent and other grant compliance requirements are established to ensure compliance is maintained. Plan of Action: The Authority agrees with this finding. Prior to audit, the Authority had begun taking steps to correct this issue after an internal audit of tenant files determined that Rent Reasonableness documentation was missing. The steps that have been take are: 1. Employees were made aware of the issue, and training was provided to ensure that rent reasonable was reviewed and documented. 2. The use of a check list was developed to ensure the rent reasonableness steps and documentation has been performed and included in the tenant file. Going forward additional steps to ensure correction of the finding have been added. Two lines have been added to the check list. The first line is for the Eligibility Specialist to initial that all steps in the checklist have been performed and documented. The next line is for the HCV Specialist to initial that they have received the file and reviewed it to make sure that all steps of the checklist have been completed and documented within the file. Date of implementation: July 13, 2023

2023-004 Housing Choice Voucher Tenant Files - Rent Calculations - ALN 14.871 - Noncompliance & Significant Deficiency Action planned in response to finding: The Peoria Housing Authority acknowledges the need to strengthen our controls over tenant file documentation and rent calculations to ensure both accuracy and compliance with HUD regulations and the Peoria Housing Authority's Administrative Plan. In response, we are implementing the following corrective actions: 1. Creation of a Compliance Team The PHA will establish a Compliance Team responsible for developing and enforcing a robust quality assurance plan. This plan will include a 100% audit of all Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participant files to ensure full compliance with HUD regulations. Any discrepancies identified will be corrected promptly, and corresponding actions will be documented. 2. Ongoing Quality Assurance Audits The Quality Assurance team will perform monthly internal file audits, reviewing 10% of files undergoing recertification and 100% of new admissions to verify accurate rent calculations. The team will also ensure that all required documentation is present, accurate, and maintained in each participant's file. 3. Third-Party Audit In addition to internal audits, the PHA will engage a third-party consultant (Nan McKay) to conduct a one-time comprehensive audit of all participant files. Following this, the consultant will review 10% of participant files monthly to ensure continued compliance with HUD standards. 4. Technical Support Additionally, a third-party consultant (Nan McKay) will provide the HCV Team with technical support required to reconcile file deficiencies noted during the 100% file audit. 5. Staff Training The HCV Department Team, except for our inspectors, will complete Rent Calculation Training and obtain the exam certification, with a minimum requisite passing score of 80%. These measures will enhance the accuracy of rent calculations and ensure adherence to our PHA Administrative Plan and HUD's regulations and timelines. Planned completion date for the corrective action plan: December 31, 2025, and Ongoing Person Responsible: Rachel Pollard and Delta Hoffmeister
