FINDING 2023 – 004: ALLOWABLE ACTIVITIES HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER – 14.871 MATERIAL WEAKNESS / NON-COMPLIANCE – ACTIVITIES ALLOWED OR UNALLOWED QUESTIONED COSTS: $4,808.90 The Agency agrees with the above finding. FY 2022-2023 was a year of transition for Goldenrod Regional Housing Agency with the movement of staff into the Interim Director position from a position of case management. The director acknowledges inexperience in accounting procedures noting additional training is needed. Utilizing a single general ledger to account for all the Agency’s activities, while not comingled, does not allow the Agency to monitor each program separately. The Agency has contacted our fee accountant regarding the auditor’s recommendation to generate a new income statement or have separate general ledgers maintained for each program to note the financial condition of each program and make the needed adjustments. Further exploration is needed to determine how to repay the Voucher Program for the Management overage.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, passed through the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program – Assistance Listing No. 14.195 Significant Deficiencies 2023-001 Condition: 1) Housing assistance and tenant payments for 2 of the 40 tenant files selected for testing were calculated incorrectly due to errors in the amounts used for income. 2) The asset values for 10 of the 40 tenant files and the interest income for 3 of the 40 tenant files selected for testing were not reported correctly on Form HUD-50059. This had no impact on the housing assistance and tenant payments. 3) There were no sufficient documentation for 2 of the 40 tenant files selected for testing to support the asset values reported on Form HUD-50059. 4) 1 of the 40 tenant files selected for testing was missing an Existing Tenant Search report. 5) The Existing Tenant Search report for 2 of the 40 tenant files selected for testing stated that the tenants may be receiving rental assistance at another housing agency, however there was no evidence to show that the Community had followed up with the tenant and/or the housing agency to avoid a double subsidy. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that an internal control procedure be implemented to ensure that all HUD-50059 forms are completed accurately and all required information is obtained and maintained within the tenant files. Action Taken: 1) Management will meet with tenants to properly investigate causation for the finding above. Management will correct the audited annual recertification with the expectation of correcting the income used to tabulate the tenants’ level of rental assistance. For the file where the tenant was overcharged, the tenant will be reimbursed for administrative error. For the file where the rental subsidy was being overcharged, HUD will be reimbursed for the subsidy accordingly. 2) Management will correct all audited annual recertifications with correct asset values and/or interest income. Management will also insert file clarification notes to all files that are edited to ensure transparency and notate that the corrected asset values and/or interest income will not affect the tenants’ level of rental assistance. Management will implement internal control procedures to ensure that all asset and interest income values are reported correctly in the future. 3) Management will meet with tenants to properly investigate causation for the finding above. Management will correct annual recertification reporting and properly document tenant files accordingly. Management will implement internal control procedures to ensure that staff is only accepting proper verifications per the HUD handbook in the future. 4) Management will ensure that the tenant has an Existing Tenant Search report in the file. Management has removed all tenant information that does not correspond to this tenant file. Management will implement internal control procedures to ensure that documents are not being misfiled. 5) Management will meet with tenants to properly investigate causation for the finding above. Management will determine if possible double subsidies exist. Management will follow up with respective PHA or owner if necessary to confirm if the tenant is being assisted at the other location. Management will properly document all contacts made or information obtained to determine if a household is receiving multiple subsidies or not. When the tenants’ multiple subsidies are discussed and resolved, management will ensure that all evidence is included within the tenant file.

Housing Voucher Cluster – Assistance Listing Numbers 14.871/14.879 Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority sets up a separate interest-bearing account and executes a depository agreement with their financial institution and HUD; alternatively, we recommend that the Authority obtains a waiver from this requirement if local regulation prohibits the Authority from following 24 CFR section 982.156. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Housing Voucher Cluster funds are held by the Treasurer for the State of South Carolina.

We followed up on the request most recently on January 24, 2024 and to date, no response has been received. In the meantime, SC Housing is continuing to work with the State Treasurer’s Office to identify a solution that would allow SC Housing to enter into a general depository agreement (GDA) that would provide third party rights to HUD. Modifications have been made to the state financial accounting sytems to track the funds in question separately, but we are trying to determine how, and even if, the funds can be housed in a separate bank account, while still adhering to state regulation. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Ellen Eudy, Deputy Director, Financial Operations and Lisa Wilkerson, Director of Rental Assistance and Compliance Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Waiver request submitted to HUD local field office on March 29, 2023.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 2023-002: Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program CFDA 14.871 Condition: The Organization did not maintain documentation on file that a redetermination of reasonable rent was completed prior to the contract anniversary. We noted the rent was reasonable, however, there was no documentation of the Organization testing rent reasonableness in seven different tenant files. Criteria: The Organization 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 housing assistance payment contract). 24 CFR 982.507. Cause: The Organization failed to maintain documentation in the tenant file. Effect: There is potential of renewing rent to owner agreements in excess of Fair Market Rent.

Cause: The Organization’s did not complete their internal review of the HQS standards as required by Section 982.405(b). Effect: An important component of internal controls is the existence of operating policies and procedures and that they are clearly understood and communicated. Without verifying these procedures, there is a higher risk of noncompliance with program compliance requirements. Recommendation: Management should perform a supervisory quality control over the HQS inspections. The inspection should follow the guidelines set forth in 24 CFR 985.2. Grantee Response: Management agrees with the finding and will complete the Quality Control Inspection going forward.
