Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Holyfield & Thomas, LLC, 125 Butler Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33407 Audit period: For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The findings from the September 30, 2023 schedule of findings and questions costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDITS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) 2023-001 Significant deficiency for the Continuum of Care Program, Youth Homeless Demonstration Program (YHDP) – Assistance Listing No. 14.267. Recommendation: We recommend that when the rent reasonableness worksheet reflects that the proposed rent is not reasonable, the lease contracts should not be approved, and negotiations should begin with the landlord to get the rent within the reasonable range. To ensure this step is taken, we recommend that the Program Director review, and initial each rent reasonableness worksheet before the lease is signed for the client tenant. Action Taken: In September 2023, Vita Nova reassigned the YHDP program to the oversight of a new Director of Housing. In late October 2023, the new Director identified the specified issue as part of a detailed file review and immediately took action to correct this error. New lease agreements were established with both tenants as of November 2, 2023, using rent reasonable rates. Vita Nova has since taken additional steps to ensure this and other similar errors do not reoccur as follows: • Housing Case Managers are not authorized to complete rent reasonableness worksheets. This procedure is completed directly by the Director of Housing. • If the requested rent is found to not be reasonable, the Director of Housing initiates negotiations with the landlord. • If rent reasonable rates are not able to be negotiated, the lease will not be signed. • The Director of Housing approves all lease contracts and related rental costs. • Peer file reviews are conducted by Housing Case Managers (HCM) on a monthly basis, and review sheets are submitted to the Director of Housing. The Director of Housing then completes a follow-up internal review and returns any comments to the respective HCM(s) with a correction date for any needed revisions within 7 days. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has any questions regarding this plan, please call Kelly Landrum, Chief Operating officer at (561) 517-0040. Respectfully, Kelly A.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding 2023-001 - Housing Choice Voucher Tenant File s - Eligibility - Int ernal Control over Tenant Files - Non compliance & Significant Deficiency - Housing Choice Voucher Program - ALN 14.871 CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: 1. All of Jonesboro HCV Specialists and HCV Manager took a Nan McKay Workshop, HCV and Public Housing Rent Calculation Course. The dates of this course were May 7, 2024 - May 9, 2024. 2. JHA has discussed the issues of the 13 files discovered during the audit and spoken to staff about making sure they know what to do. Additional training and discussion of the errors has been scheduled for next Wednesday, May 29, 2024. This was delayed due to JHA recently hiring a new full time HCV Specialist and JHA wanted to ensure all caseworkers were present and had proper training on the specific errors we incurred during the audit. 3. Peer Review - Janet Wiggins was the only one reviewing caseworker files. Janet reviews about 20 files per month. JHA has had discussion and will be expanding the number of files that are reviewed on a monthly basis. Janet Wiggins will still randomly select files as she has been doing, but each caseworker will also audit up to 5 random files from other caseworkers throughout the month to double the amount of files per month that are reviewed, which will also help us catch errors if they exist. PERSON RESPONSIBLE: N an M cKay / Paul G. Wright / Janet Wiggins ANTICIPATED COMPLETIO N DATE ( See Below ): 1. #l from above was Completed May 7, 2024 through May 9, 2024 by a Trainer from Nan McKay. 2. #2 was discussed in a staff meeting on May 29, 2024. I, Paul Wright, went over the 13 files with staff and discussed the importance of making sure that we ensure proper documentation is in the file whether full time status of children or EIV that is used to make a computation, we ensure that we are using the appropriate and proper amount of check stubs and that they are consecutive, we discussed making sure that our calculations themselves are correct if weekly, bi-weekly,monthly or annual income is used. We discussed making sure if working on a file that already has had an annual that we make sure any interim is inserted properly and we pay the correct amount on our HAP check run. 3. #3 was discussed during staff meeting on May 29, 2024 by Paul G. Wright and Janet Wiggins. I had previously spoken with HCV Manager, Janet Wiggins, and Assistant HCV Manager, Nora Schmidt, about increasing the number of files that we audit on a monthly basis. Janet examines each file when she performs a move or transfer, which is typically over 20 per month. All caseworkers will review 5 files per month from another caseworker for accuracy and make sure everything looks and is correct. This will about double the amount of files that are being reviewed on a monthly basis. This is being implemented currently and will continue moving forward. All the steps listed in the corrective action plan have been addressed and staff has been advised and trained. Peer review has begun and will continue moving forward to help increase the number of files that audited/ reviewed on a monthly basis. It is with these efforts that JHA hopes to reduce and hopefully eliminate the errors that we received during the 2023 Fiscal Year Audit.
