Finding 2026-002 CAPBM acknowledges the finding regarding inaccuracies identified in several tenant annual recertifications that required corrected HUD-50059-A forms to accurately reflect the Total Tenant Payment (TTP) and HUD subsidy amounts. The errors were the result of calculation and data entry mistakes during the annual recertification process with past management. Current management is currently reviewing the affected tenant files and will complete any necessary corrections to ensure tenant rent and subsidy calculations are accurate and compliant with HUD requirements. To prevent similar errors in the future, CAPBM has implemented an additional review procedure for all annual recertifications. Once the Compliance Manager completes the annual recertification and prepares the HUD-50059, the Director of Affordable Housing will conduct a secondary review of the certification, including income calculations, asset determinations, applicable deductions, Total Tenant Payment (TTP), and subsidy calculations, prior to final approval and submission. Additionally, staff will continue to receive training on HUD occupancy requirements and annual recertification procedures to ensure compliance with HUD regulations. Management believes these corrective actions will strengthen internal controls and reduce the likelihood of future calculation errors. CAPBM is committed to maintaining accurate tenant certifications and ensuring ongoing compliance with HUD requirements.
