Program: Community Development Block Grants/Entitlement Grants Compliance: J-Program Income Finding Type: Compliance and Internal Control Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Internal Control Impact: Material Weakness Finding: The City hired a third party to service single family home loans made with federal funds from this grant. The City did not maintain a listing or monitor the loans originated under this grant. Accordingly, the City cannot reconcile the loan servicer?s accounting reports to City records. Although the City indicated that they have other sources of program income, the City does not have a system which identifies other sources of program income. Status: Corrective action plan in progress Corrective Action Plan: The City has obtained information from the third-party loan servicer which will allow for the tracking and confirmation of existing loans with the goal of taking a more active role in the management of the portfolio including making decisions for write-off of non-performing balances and those where the cost of servicing the loan exceeds the loan payments.

During our audit, It was determined that the unaudited submission was submitted beyond the 2 months closing of the fiscal year end (24 CFR Section 5.801). Due to an outstanding legal matter and invoice necessary to report accurate financial standing the Housing Authority was unable to meet the deadline. The Housing Authority will ensure that all future invoices are received in a timely manner so that the unaudited reporting deadline meets HUD 60 day window.

Finding Number 2022-003 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS- ELIGIBILITY - COMPLIANCE DEFICIENCY Agency Name FEDERAL AGENCY: PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Program ALN 14.850 ? PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING Contract # N/A Criteria Eligibility for Individuals - Most PHAs devise their own application forms that are filled out by the PHA staff during an interview with the tenant. The head of household signs (a) a certification that the information provided to the PHA is correct; (b) one or more release forms to allow the PHA to get information from third parties; (c) a federally prescribed general release form for employment information; and (d) a privacy notice. Under some circumstances, other members of the family may be required to sign these forms (24 CFR sections 5.212, 5.230, and 5.601 through 5.615). Condition/Context The Authority received funding from the Public and Indian Housing Operating Fund. The Public and Indian Housing program is to provide and operate cost effective, decent, safe, and affordable dwellings for lower income families through an authorized local PHA. Of the sixty (60) case files selected for testing in which 540 pieces of audit evidence (eligibility forms as noted in the Criteria section above) were requested to be provided: ? Five eligibility forms were not provided (3 missing application forms and 2 missing release forms). These forms are required documentation to be maintained in the case files to support eligibility for Public and Indian Housing. Therefore, we were not able to determine if the eligible participants met all the eligibility criteria. Recommendation We recommend the Authority strengthen its controls over the Public and Indian Housing ? Operating Fund case files to ensure that all eligibility forms are received, reviewed, and maintained in the case files to support the determination of eligibility Corrective Action Plan Step 1 A follow-up search by the property Housing Managers and Management Services Department was unable to locate the three missing Original Application forms. One of the three missing Original Application forms was due to the resident?s folder that had been damaged during Superstorm Sandy. In January 2011, NYCHA implemented the Siebel Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, which included digital file storage and an online application process, which replaced our previous paper application process. Any applications in process from that date onward were subject to document scanning and documentation was stored digitally. Any applications processed prior to this date were kept in a paper format and stored at the development, where the applicant was certified or where the tenant resides. If a tenant family transferred to another development, the physical tenant folder and documents were sent to their new location. In June 2020, NYCHA sought to digitize all tenant folders; however, the cost of the project was determined to be prohibitive so the goal of digitizing the tenant folders was not realized. Any documents damaged or lost prior to 2011 cannot be recovered, including those impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Corrective Action Plan- Step 2 ? A follow-up search by the property Housing Managers was unable to locate the two missing Consent to share your personal information NYCHA 042.785. On September 20, 2023, the Management Services Department requested that the property Housing Managers contact the residents to sign the consent form, and upload to Siebel. As a result, it was discovered that in one of the cases the Head of Household had died, and the development began the legal process to regain possession of the apartment through the holdover proceeding in Landlord Tenant Court.

Finding Number 2022-002 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS- INSURANCE PROCEEDS - COMPLIANCE- INTERNAL CONTROL DEFICIENCY Agency Name FEDERAL AGENCY: PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Program ALN 14.850 ? PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING Contract # N/A Criteria Special Tests and Provisions ? Insurance Proceeds - As stated in the April 2022 Compliance Supplement, a Public Housing Agency (PHA) is required to use insurance proceeds to promptly restore, reconstruct, and/or repair any damaged or destroyed property of a project, except when a PHA has written approval from HUD to do otherwise. Unspent insurance proceeds normally are recorded as restricted cash or restricted investments on the Financial Data Schedules (FDS) up to the amount of the repair. In cases of unforeseeable and unpreventable emergencies that include damages to the physical structure of the housing stock, PHAs are allowed to use their Operating Funds to cover the expenses associated with the damages. A PHA?s insurance may cover the damages fully or partially, however, it usually takes time for the PHA to receive the insurance proceeds. Once received, the PHA must reimburse its operating account for any expenses that were initially covered with Operating Funds up to the amount received. If the amount of the insurance proceeds is less than the cost of the repair and the PHA elected to use Operating Funds to cover the difference, the PHA is not allowed to draw down capital funds to reimburse the Low Rent program. Condition/Context The Authority received insurance proceeds to cover catastrophic loss affecting a myriad of locations. The insurance recovery was promulgated on emergency repairs and post-events, many of which were not initiated or needed due to internal fixes. During our review of the insurance proceeds compliance, we noted that the Authority did not document repair expenditures for loss affecting myriad locations and could not correlate one-to-one expenditures to the insurance proceeds in a timely manner from when the insurance proceeds were received. Recommendation We recommend that the Authority correlate one-to-one expenditures to the insurance proceeds received on a timely basis Corrective Action Plan All good faith efforts to correlate emergency expenditures from insurance proceeds will be made in order to capture vendor work on a timelier basis. Catastrophic events (resulting in insurable claims such as the Hurricane Ida related claim selected in Deloitte?s testing) are complicated as the focus is primarily on restoring critical services in many developments, usually located in all five boroughs. The proceeds thus far received were estimated via inspection and the insurance claim remains open for more permanent pricing and repair. Such a claim often takes years to finalize as work scope is prepared and agreed to by insurers? representatives and the Authority. The emergency proceeds received have been used as needed for more repairs requiring them. As identified in the audit, much of the emergency work to date on Hurricane Ida was performed internally by staff at the sites, which did not generate transparent repair expenses. Management will take action, within limitations described above, to improve the correlation of expenditures to the insurance proceeds received on a timelier basis. In order to accomplish, will rely on the Authority?s Asset & Capital Management Department to provide timely work scope to assist in the correlation of more permanent expenditures Action Date Ongoing Final Implementation Ongoing Name And Phone Number Of Person Responsible For Implementation Arlene Orenstein Director of Risk Management 212-306-6682

Finding Number 2022-001 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS- ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS TESTING AND REMEDIATION ? MATERIAL WEAKNESS Agency Name FEDERAL AGENCY: PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Program ALN 14.850 ? PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING Contract # N/A Criteria Special Tests and Provisions - Environmental Contaminants Testing and Remediation As stated in the April 2022 Compliance Supplement, Public Housing must be decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. Public Housing Authority?s (PHA) must maintain such housing in a manner that meets the physical condition standards set forth in 24 CFR section 5.703 in order to be considered decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. Those standards address the major areas of the public housing: the site; the building exterior; the building systems; the dwelling units; the common areas; and health and safety considerations. Health and safety considerations require that all areas and components of the housing must be free of health and safety hazards. These areas include, but are not limited to, air quality, electrical hazards, elevators, emergency/fire exits, flammable materials, garbage and debris, handrail hazards, infestation, and lead-based paint. The housing must have no evidence of infestation by rats, mice, or other vermin, or of garbage and debris. The housing must have no evidence of electrical hazards, natural hazards, or fire hazards. The dwelling units and common areas must have proper ventilation and be free of mold, odor (e.g., propane, natural gas, methane gas), or other indoor air hazards such as radon. The housing must comply with all requirements related to the evaluation and reduction of lead-based paint hazards and have available proper certifications of such (see 24 CFR Part 35). For the period under audit, the PHA is required to test for and remediate environmental contaminates including but not limited to lead-based paint, radon gas, and mold to ensure that public housing met the physical condition standards for health and safety considerations set forth in 24 CFR section 5.703. Condition/Context The New York City Housing Authority (the ?Authority?) performs environmental contaminates testing and remediation including but not limited to Lead-based paint, Mold, Pest Control, Elevators, Heating and Annual Apartment Inspections. To track compliance with the Agreement executed on January 31, 2019 by and among the Authority, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (?HUD?) and the U.S. Attorney?s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and The City Of New York (the ?HUD Agreement?), the Authority maintains monthly inspection reports for the various inspections performed and provides that information to HUD, the SDNY and the Federal Monitor appointed under the HUD Agreement. Deloitte obtained the bi-annual lead-based paint compliance reports from the Authority and for the Period from February 2022 through July 2022 and August 2022 through December, 2022, we read extermination, heat outage, mold inspections, annual apartment inspections, and elevator outage reports for the months of February 2022; April 2022; July 2022; September 2022 and November 2022. During our audit, we noted that the Authority did not complete all corrective actions in the 2022 audit period and is in the process of addressing these issues Recommendation We recommend that the Authority continue to ensure that all environmental contaminates are properly remediated during the audit period through the HUD Agreement. Corrective Action Plan In January 2019, the Authority entered into the HUD Agreement to address building conditions, including conditions related to lead-based paint, mold, pests, elevators, and heating. Among other things, the HUD Agreement appointed a federal Monitor and established three new Departments ? Compliance, Environmental Health & Safety, and Quality Assurance. It also required the promulgation of action plans around these health and safety issues and other items. These action plans are publicly available at https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nycha/about/reports.page, along with other reports on health and safety issues, which detail the Authority?s efforts to inspect for and correct deficiencies associated with environmental contaminants like lead-based paint and mold. The Authority plans to continue to work to address these health and safety issues, and to work towards meeting the multi-year obligations laid out in the HUD agreement in addition to the action plans. NYCHA has recorded $3,808,843,000 of pollution remediation obligations as of December 31, 2022 which relates to costs to inspect for and correct deficiencies associated with environmental contaminants. Action Date Ongoing milestones through January 31, 2039 Final Implementation The latest in time obligation under the HUD Agreement is the Authority?s obligation to abate 100% of the apartment units that contain lead-based paint, and the interior common areas that contain lead-based paint in the same building as those units, by January 31, 2039 Name And Phone Number Of Person Responsible For Implementation Brad Greenburg Chief Compliance Officer 212-306-4240

The City?s corrective action follows. Action Taken: The City has developed an internal process to ensure compliance with contracting deadlines. The Community Development leadership team now conducts monthly contract check-in meetings with Program Coordinators. During these meetings, contract execution timelines are discussed. If a subrecipient has not submitted contract documentation 90 days before the appropriate deadline, the Program Coordinator will contact the subrecipient to better understand why the contract documents were not submitted. The Program Coordinator will continue to contact the subrecipient, via email and telephone, each week until all materials are submitted and the agreement is executed. Additionally, all deadlines are clearly marked on a large calendar in a shared workspace as well as on individual electronic calendars. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 412-255-2640.

Finding 2022-001 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Moving to Work Demonstration Program - ALN 14.881 Eligibility and Reporting Repeat Finding from 2021 Maher Duessel Finding Condition: During our review of 60 tenant files prepared by the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (Authority) as part of the biennial reexamination process, we noted a lack of functioning internal controls which led to the below exceptions in our testing. We noted two (2) tenant files (which provide eligibility and reporting information) were unable to be provided. Additionally, we noted four (4) tenants for which the most recent recertification was not completed on a timely basis. Also noted was one (1) tenant file that did not contain the required income verification support. In all cases previously described the HUD-50058 Family Report (OMB No. 2577-0083) (HUD-50058) forms prepared by the HACP were not completed and/or did not contain support for the calculations. All instances related to the MTW ? Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. In addition, we noted the following exceptions related to the tenant recertification process: We noted two (2) instances where the application was missing or not signed, three (3) instances where the tenant files was missing a social security card or driver's license, two (2) instances where a signed lease agreement was missing and two (2) instances where a signed HAP contract was missing. HACP Management Response/Action Taken: Action Taken: The HACP will continue to monitor and train staff regarding processes and procedures, to include and not limited to the HUD's hierarchy of income verification. In fiscal year (FY) 2022 the HCV Department had a significant turnover in line and managerial staff. The HACP promoted an aggressive hiring plan to attract new talent to fill vacant positions due to the great resignation that the HACP along with other national Agencies continue to experience. In addition, the HACP retained the services of CVR and Associates to train newly hired staff on all aspects of the HCV Program, to include and not limited to recertifications, contracts, interims, and rent increases. The HACP will continue managerial and internal audits by the HACP Internal Compliance Department to reduce the necessity of corrections subsequent to the initial submission. The HACP continues to: ? Send notices regarding re-certifications 120 days in advance of the due date, ? Require Managers to review reports to assure timely submission of re-certifications, ? Utilize the Internal Compliance (IC) Department to review and sample files from the Occupancy and the HCV portfolio, ? Make corrections when discovered, ? Make payment adjustments to participant accounts when errors are discovered and corrected. ? The HACP will offer periodic staff training on re-certification, ? The HACP offers participants the use of technology to complete paperwork. During FY 2022, the HACP was closed to the public. In July of 2023, the HACP opened a "One Stop Shop" that is open to the public from 8 a.m. to - 4:30 p.m. daily. The One Stop Shop has is staffed with four (4) full-time staff members to receive information from participants and landlords to provide timely customer service. The opening of the One Stop Shop has been successful in receiving the public and responding to concerns.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Spokane Housing Authority January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 This schedule presents the corrective action planned by the Housing Authority for findings reported in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2022-01 Finding caption: The Housing Authority had inadequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with Housing Quality Standards enforcement requirements of its Housing Voucher Cluster program. Name, address, and telephone of Housing Authority contact person: Kathy Clark, Finance Director 25 W. Nora Avenue Spokane, WA 99205 (509) 252-7109 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: Spokane Housing Authority acknowledges the above reference finding. Although personnel responsible for conducting the HQS inspections and ensuring owners corrected the cited life-threatening deficiencies were trained on policy and procedure, SHA did not establish the internal controls to ensure proper follow-up was made. In September 2022, SHA, established a Housing Support Specialist position, which will log life-threatening HQS deficiencies as documented on the HQS inspector?s reports daily and follow-up with the landlord within the 24-hour timeframe to ensure that repairs have been addressed and completed. If repairs have been made pursuant to the directive given by the inspector, then a letter will be sent to the landlord and tenant indicating that the 24-hour hazards have been fixed. If the landlord fails to comply within the 24-hour timeframe, then the unit fails, and a Notice of Termination of HAP letter will be sent to the landlord and tenant. SHA will work with the tenant to start the process of locating a new unit that passes HQS. The log of deficiencies will be reviewed by the Inspections Coordinator regularly as an additional internal control. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: January 1, 2023
