Finding 2022-004: Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspections and HQS Enforcement Repeat Finding of Portions of 2021-004 Federal Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: N/A Assistance L...
Finding 2022-004: Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspections and HQS Enforcement Repeat Finding of Portions of 2021-004 Federal Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: N/A Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Federal Award Numbers: N/A Criteria: Per 24 CFR section 982.405, the Housing Authority must inspect units prior to the initial term of the lease, at least biennially during assisted occupancy, and at other times as needed, to determine if units meet Housing Quality Standards (HQS). The Housing Authority must also conduct supervisory quality control HQS inspections. Per 24 CFR section 982.404, the Housing Authority must take prompt and vigorous action to enforce the owner obligations for HQS. Housing assistance payments must not be made to units that fail to meet HQS, unless the owner corrects the defect within the required period. Condition/Context: During our testing over the related compliance requirements, we observed the following: The Authority was not able to provide HQS inspections documents for the period under audit for one of the units selected for testing. We were unable to determine whether the Housing Authority performed quality control re inspections, as required by 24 CFR section 982.405(b). Our sample was not statistically valid. Questioned Costs: Not determinable. Cause: The lack of supporting documentation may be related to the Housing Authority changing voucher program administrators during fiscal year 2020. While the current administrator has access to tenant files, the HQS inspections done in fiscal 2020 were done by a previous contractor. Also due to the Housing Authority falling behind on obtaining audits, the documents being requested by auditors are several years old and may have been purged. Effect: Units that fail to meet HQS could endanger the health and safety of tenants. Recommendation: The Housing Authority should ensure the vendor administering the program maintains proper inspection logs and documentation of quality control re-inspections. The Housing Authority should also review its processes to ensure units are inspected based on the requirements in 24 CFR section 982.404. Views of Responsible Officials: WBHA is concerned that the current contract administrator for the HCV Program has failed to comply with providing the requested documentation to prove compliance with HQS inspection requirements. We are engaging with our current HCV Contract Administrator (Allegiant Property Management, LLC) on expectations for compliance in the future. WBHA is also exploring other contract administrators or possibly opting out of the HCV Program altogether and working with WHEDA to administer WBHA’s HCV Program.

Finding 2022-003: Special Tests and Provisions - Reasonable Rent Repeat Finding of Portions of 2021-003 Federal Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: N/A Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Federal Award Numbers: N/A Criteria: Per 24 CFR section 982.54(d)(15), the Housing Authority must adopt a written administrative plan that establishes local policies for the method of determining that rent paid to an owner is a reasonable rent, initially and during the term of the housing assistance payment contract. Per 24 CFR section 982.507, the Housing Authority must determine that the rent to an owner is reasonable before any subsequent increase in rent is paid to the owner. Condition/Context: We were able to determine that the Housing Authority has a written administrative plan addessing reasonable rent determinations. The Housing Authority was however unable to provide documentation of reasonable rent for the period under audit for the twelve tenants selected for testing. Our sample was not statistically valid. Questioned Costs: Not determinable. Cause: The lack of supporting documentation may be related to the Housing Authority changing voucher program administrators during fiscal year 2020. While the current administrator has access to tenant files, the rent reasonableness procedures performed in fiscal 2020 were done by a previous contractor. Also due to the Housing Authority falling behind on obtaining audits, the documents being requested by auditors are several years old and maybe have been purged. Effect: Rent paid to landlords may not be reasonable in comparison to other comparable unassisted units. Recommendation: The Housing Authority should ensure the vendor administering the program maintains proper records of rent reasonableness. The Housing Authority should also ensure it has a written policy for the method of determining that rent paid to an owner is a reasonable rent as required by 24 CFR section 982.54(d)(15). Views of Responsible Officials: WBHA is concerned that the current contract administrator for the HCV Program has failed to comply with providing the requested documentation as required by 24 CFR section 982.54(d)(15). We are engaging with our current HCV Contract Administrator (Allegiant Property Management, LLC) on expectations for compliance currently and in the future. WBHA is also exploring other contract administrators or possibly opting out of the HCV Program altogether and working with WHEDA to administer WBHA’s HCV Program.

Finding 2022-002: Eligibility, Reporting and Special Test and Provision Repeat Finding of Portions of 2021-002 Federal Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: N/A Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Federal Award Numbers: N/A Criteria: Per 24 CFR section 982.516, the Housing Authority must conduct a reexamination of family income and composition at least annually. Third-party verification of family income, value of assets, expenses deducted from income, and other factors that affect adjusted income must be obtained and documented. The Housing Authority must determine income eligibility and calculate the tenant's rent payment using the documentation from third-party verification in accordance with 24 CFR part 5 subpart F. The Housing Authority is also required to submit HUD-50058, Family Report, for each examination per 24 CFR part 908. The amount paid for housing assistance payments (HAP) must correspond to HUD-50058. Condition/Context: No documentation of family income, composition, third-party verification, or HUD‑50058 were provided for two of the twenty five tenants selected for testing for the required reexamination during the fiscal year. Our sample was not statistically valid. Questioned Costs: Housing assistance payments for the tenants noted above is not determinable. Cause: The lack of supporting documentation may be related to the Housing Authority changing voucher program administrators during fiscal year 2020. While the current administrator has access to tenant files, the eligibility determinations done in fiscal 2020 were done by a previous contractor. Also due to the Housing Authority falling behind on obtaining audits, the documents being requested by auditors are several years old. Effect: The Housing Authority may be making inaccurate or ineligible HAP payments on behalf of tenants. Recommendation: The Housing Authority should ensure their vendors properly maintain documentation regarding eligibility determinations. Views of Responsible Officials: WBHA is concerned that the current contract administrator for the HCV Program has failed to comply with providing the requested documentation. We are engaging with our current HCV Contract Administrator (Allegiant Property Management, LLC) on expectations for compliance currently and in the future. WBHA is also exploring other contract administrators or possibly opting out of the HCV Program altogether and working with WHEDA to administer WBHA’s HCV Program vouchers.

Segregation of Duties Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or can both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities because of the lack of segregation of duties. Recommendation: We recommend that the Village consider the benefits of implementing additional policies and procedures to address key controls related to its significant transaction cycles as noted. Response: We agree with the finding but do not believe it is cost-effective to increase the office staff in an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties. Contact Person: Lynn Yager, Clerk/Treasurer Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

(A) The Department will create written procedures documenting system and monitoring processes used to prevent claims from paying after a beneficiary?s date-of-death is verified. In addition, the procedures will document the processes used to recover payments made between a beneficiary?s verified date-of-death and the date the Colorado interChange system is updated with the date-of-death. (B) The system issues described in this audit were resolved as of April 2020 for fee-for-service claims and November 2020 for capitation payments. Once a beneficiary's date-of-death is verified, payments that were made after to the date-of-death will be recovered through the Department's existing processes. As noted in the Department?s response to Recommendation (A), the Department will create written procedures documenting system and monitoring processes used to prevent claims from paying after a beneficiary?s date-of-death is verified. In addition, the procedures will document the processes used to recover payments made between a beneficiary?s verified date-of-death and the date the Colorado interChange system is updated with the date-of-death. (C) The review for FFS claims is complete and all Notices of Adverse Action have been sent to providers. At this time we are waiting on any requests for informal reconsiderations, appeals, and/or payments to process.

(B) The Department will continue our existing proactive approach to minimize this issue. The resolution of a SSN discrepancy is addressed through manual intervention by county eligibility technicians when identified through the system edit implemented in December 2020. The Department will continue the existing process to address duplicate SSNs. The Department has already made significant progress to monitor CBMS through the use of CBMS monitoring dashboards. These dashboards allow the Department to monitor and perform daily analysis. The Department meets bi-weekly to discuss findings and next steps to resolve any issues identified through the dashboard. These dashboards are being implemented over time as areas of improvements are identified. As part of the Department's continual improvement strategy, SSN discrepancy reports are included in the next implementation phase of the monitoring dashboards scheduled for June 2023. The Department will develop and implement policies and procedures outlining how the report will be used to effectively monitor and correct SSN and State ID discrepancies. Once that work is complete, the Department will send updated written guidance to our county and medical assistance sites on how to use system edits, reports, and dashboards to resolve duplicate SSNs.

February 2, 2023 Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit The City of Riverside respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP 203 N. Brea Blvd, Suite 203 Brea, CA 92821 Audit period: 07/01/2021 to 06/30/2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. 2022-001 ? Significant Deficiency and Compliance Finding: Timeliness of Payments made to Subrecipients Federal Award Information Federal agencies: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program Title: Emergency Solutions Grant Program Award Numbers: E-20-MW-06-0538 and E-21-MC-06-0538 Award Years: 2021-2022 Criteria: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that payments to subrecipients for allowable costs be made within 30 days after receiving the subrecipient?s complete payment request. Condition: The City did not comply with the 30-day time period requirement for two of its subrecipients since payments to subrecipients for allowable costs were issued 42 days and 46 days after the City received the payment requests. The City has a total of five subrecipients for the program. Cause of Condition: Per inquiry with the Housing Authority Manager, the invoices were not submitted within the required timeframe because purchase orders had to be created before payment to the subrecipient could be processed. Effect or Potential Effect of Condition: The creation of purchase orders prior to the payments to subrecipients being issued led to some delays in the issuance of the payment. Questioned Costs: None. Context: For the year being audited, the payments that were late were the first payment to these subrecipients since no other payment request related to the program appear to have been submitted late. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement a process to ensure that payments to subrecipients be issued within the 30-day time period as required by the Compliance supplement. Management?s Response and Corrective Action: The City is taking corrective action to ensure that purchase requisitions are completed timely and proactive communication from the originating department on the status of purchase orders is provided more frequently to ensure that vendors are paid within 30 days after receiving the subrecipient?s complete payment request. The name of the contact person responsible for the corrective action: Michelle Davis. The anticipated completion date for the corrective action: February 28,2023.
