Finding # 2020-008 Utility Allowance Calculation
Corrective Action Plan: When the new director, Robert Weismore, was hired on
September 7, 2022, he replaced the former director and 3 staff members. In
October he hired the current staff of Ms. Schaefer, Ms. Lynn. Ms. Filipski was
hired as a part time employee in the middle of September 2022.
For the next 2 months the staff reviewed each file and recalculated the
figures using the correct payment standards for the necessary period and also
used the September 1, 2022 approved utility schedule installed by the current
staff.
The recalculations caused the North Syracuse Housing Authority to
reimburse $25,463 to previously miscalculated tenants. Also, had to repay HUD
$23,000.
The current payment standards are up to date and the current utility schedule
was updated effective 7/1/2023 and will be updated effective 7 /1/24 and each
July thereafter.
Anticipated Completion Date: Currently in progress
