Finding 2023-002 Eligibility Auditee's Response and Planned Corrective Action The Authority has had staff and consultant turnover during the 2022 audit period. Additionally, the eviction moratorium and lasting effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in delayed or nonexistent response from tenants regarding obtaining the necessary documentation for eligibility requirements. The Authority has evidentiary documentation supporting their attempts to obtain the required documents from the tenants, including certified letters. The courts suspended evictions during the eviction moratorium that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes evictions for nonpayment and noncompliance. The Authority has been working with legal counsel on these matters and continues to pursue this vigorously. The Authority's staff and consultants have been diligently working to implement improvements to the administrative systems related to recertifications. Additionally, the Authority has put in place a checklist for occupancy documents that are reviewed during recertification and when processing new tenants that must have annotations, check mark, that confirm that all required papers are in compliance and signed where appropriate. This check list will have at least one redundant review by the Authority's directors or designee. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: March 2024 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Keith Burrell, Executive Director

The Housing Authority’s strategy to address the backlog of biennial inspections is to scale our inspection capacity and develop a sustainable inspections plan for normal operations. We have steadily increased EHA staffing bandwidth for housing inspections since June of 2022, as follows: • We started the process on 6/29/2022 to replace our Housing Inspector that left EHA 5/04/2022. The person that filled this Housing Inspector position started at EHA on 1/05/2023, completed training and began taking on an inspection workload in February 2023. • In March 2023, twenty-five (25) staff in EHA’s Housing Management Department attended an HQS inspections training. EHA Housing Management staff began completing initial and annual HQS inspections at EHA PBV properties on 7/01/2023. • EHA budgeted for a second Housing Inspector position in EHA’s FYE2023 budget. We started the process to hire the second Housing Inspector on 7/13/2023. The person that filled this second Housing Inspector position started at EHA on 9/19/2023, completed training and began taking on an inspection workload at the end of October 2023. • EHA budgeted for an Inspections Coordinator position in EHA’s FYE2023 budget. We started the process to hire the Inspections Coordinator on 8/14/2023. The person that filled the Inspections Coordinator position started on 11/06/2023. • On 10/30/2023, EHA’s Executive Director decided to add a third Housing Inspector to the EHA inspections team to assist with the backlog of biennial inspections. We started the process to hire the third Housing Inspector on 10/31/2023. The person that filled this third Housing Inspector position started in the position on 1/16/2024, completed training and began taking on an inspection workload in February 2024. • On 2/23/2024, an HCV Manager was appointed to supervise the inspections team (three Housing Inspectors and one Inspections Coordinator), to provide increased oversight over EHA’s inspections workload. The HCV Manager is responsible for monitoring progress towards addressing the biennial inspections backlog, delegating inspections workload to the inspections team, and providing guidance and support to the inspections team. The HCV Manager meets with the inspections team on a weekly basis as well as conducts individual check-ins with all inspections team members. Our increased inspections capacity has allowed us to make significant progress on addressing the pandemic-caused backlog of biennial inspections. Based on our expanded internal staffing resources, we expect to complete all late biennial inspections by 12/31/2024.

The City of Wilmington, Real Estate and Housing Department as the HOPWA grantee remains responsible for collecting, reviewing (for accuracy and completeness), and transmitting to HUD the Consolidated APR/CAPER workbooks. Submission of the complete set of Grantee and Provider Workbooks together constitutes the Grantee’s annual performance report to HUD.

In the future the Real Estate and Housing Department will note to file the email confirmation of the received report is as complete and error free as possible.

Finding: Management did not remit payment to HUD for the amount in excess of $250 per unit for their fifteen units. Uniform Guidance states that controls should be implemented to ensure the Project is in compliance with special tests and provisions. As stated in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 memorandum released by HUD, remittance of residual receipts were suspended through December 31, 2021. Residual receipts were due to HUD by the next Project Rental Assistance Contracts renewal which was October 1, 2022. Management was unaware the funds needed to be remitted back to HUD in the time frame noted. We recommend management review their processes and controls surrounding residual receipts to ensure amounts due to HUD are properly remitted. Corrective Action: Management has updated their internal controls to ensure a proper review of residual receipts is conducted quarterly. This review will be completed by an assigned staff member, with a secondary review completed by management. Residual receipts in excess of allowed amounts will be properly accounted for as a liability on the books and records of the Project. Residual receipts in excess of the allowed amounts will be remitted when due.
