Management received an audit finding on failure to complete required re-inspections within the required timeline of 30 days from the failed date. Prior staff that were here during this period of time that these findings occurred are no longer here and IHA now has a Director of Section 8 in place since April 2022 that will monitor that program and ensure that these inspections and follow up inspections from failed items are completed. I believe that the inspections were done but the prior HCV staff just did not put the 52580 Inspection Form in the file or make notes in the tenant file or electronic file. This is the reason that we have removed certain staff in this department and refilled these positions to control these errors. A tracking spreadsheet has been created for Biennial Inspections and Failed Item Re-inspections so that going forward, we don't miss them. Anticipated Completion Date: IHA has an Independent Contractor coming in on December 10-16 to review around 280 of the Section 8 files to review for any errors and make proper internal control measures to keep this from occurring in the future. Once the audit results are reported back to IHA, we can move forward and either schedule to have all of the files reviewed by the Independent Contractor or review the rest of the files as we pull them for their Annual Reexam.

2022-001 ? Eligibility - Tenant File Documentation Finding Type. Immaterial noncompliance, Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance (Eligibility) Federal programs U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ? Supportive Housing for the Elderly (ALN# 14.157) Condition. Out of a sample of 6 tenant files, it was noted: 1. Two out of six instances where the resident's cash balance was verified using the ending balance; however, the 6-month average balance should have been used; 2. One out of six instances where the resident's medical expenses were improperly calculated; 3. One out of six instances where the tenant's security deposit and/or prorated rent were not disbursed to them in the required 30 days; 4. One out of six instances where there was no verification of pension income performed on the most recent recertification. Effect. As a result of this condition, certain tenant files did not contain all required supporting documentation. In addition, employees did not follow HUD guideline procedures, and/or did not properly calculate the tenant subsidy in HUD Form 50059. While there were no significant differences in the amount of subsidies allowed compared to subsidies received, the lack of effective internal controls could lead to future significant noncompliance. Plan. Management agrees with finding 2022-001. All files are to be inspected in the current fiscal year to ensure compliance with HUD regulations. File maintenance will be competed following each move in and annual recertification. In addition to one-on-one training, the housing administrator has signed up for additional training including a WebEx on annual recertification and a basic EIV course. Additional training sessions are forthcoming. Contact Person Responsible for This Corrective Action: Laura Maisevich, Senior Housing Manager Anticipated completion date: December 31, 2022

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.

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
