Name, address, and telephone of Authority contact person: Joanna Tepley, Finance Director 1555 S. Methow Street Wenatchee, WA 98801 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: For 2022, CCWHA resumed annual inspections of leased units assigning an inspection month to each property. We acknowledge that in this transition some units, due to tenant refusal and rescheduling were not inspected within the annual timeline as understood by the State Auditor’s Office. CCWHA has taken the following actions: 1) Timely Inspections: We have reviewed and revised our inspection scheduling procedures to ensure timely inspections for all leased units. This includes implementing a system to track and manage inspection deadlines and notifying tenants in advance to facilitate the process. 2) Documentation Enhancement: Our documentation procedures have been enhanced to maintain a comprehensive record of all inspections. This includes creating a centralized database to store digital inspection reports, dates, and any necessary follow-up actions, ensuring that we can readily demonstrate compliance with HQS requirements. 3) Staff Training: Housing Authority staff responsible for conducting inspections have undergone additional training to reinforce the importance of timely and thorough assessments. This training emphasizes the significance of complying with federal HQS standards and maintaining accurate records. 4) Quality Assurance Reviews: We have established a quality assurance review process to periodically assess our inspection procedures. This will involve internal reviews and, where appropriate, seeking external input to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of our inspection processes. We understand the critical nature of complying with HQS requirements to maintain a safe and healthy living environment for our tenants. We are committed to continuously improving our inspection processes. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: Complete and on-going
