REFERENCE NUMBER: 2022-001 Finding: For 2 instances out of a sample of 40 Forms HUD-50058 tested, while we noted that the Forms HUD - 50058 were completed by the PHA during FY 2022, it appears that such forms were not submitted electronically to HUD. For an additional 33 instances out of a sample of 40 Forms HUD-50058 tested, we noted that the related electronic submissions were completed 60 days or more after the HUD 50058?s effective date, so it does not appear they were made timely. Reason: Even though all the HUD-50058 forms were completed and submitted, it appears that there was a malfunction between our software system and HUD?s website. This issue is a continuation of last year?s finding. We had a practice of submitting all 50058 for one month in a single batch. We learned last year that not all 50058 were picked up by the PIC system from HUD. Therefore, we still had 2 50058 that were not accepted by the PIC system. When we learned about that issue last year, the Section 8 staff began to work on double checking the files and started resubmitting 50058 forms individually. By the time we learn about the issue more than 60 days had passed from the 50058 effective date. That is why the 33 instances that the submission was done late. Corrective Action of Plan: 1. Since last year, the Section 8 HCV Program Manager and staff continue to double check all tenant files to ensure that the Form HUD-50058 has successfully been submitted to HUD?s system. 2. Since last year, the submission process has changed: We will no longer do Form HUD-50058 group submissions. Instead, individual forms are submitted and a record confirmation form is printed and filed in the tenant?s file as a supporting document that the submission of the Form HUD-50058 was completed. 3. We are going to established a process to review PIC reports. The PIC system is updated quarterly. Therefore, the PIC report will be reviewed on a quarterly basis to double check all the 50058 forms that were submitted for that quarter and match it to our family listing. Anticipated Completion Date: All actions have been implemented as of February 22, 2023. The Section 8 staff is currently reviewing the quarterly PIC report as of January 31, 2023.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Staffing turnover limited ability for portfolio property managers to effectively manage tenant files at each building location. Inglis has contracted with an external expert regarding implementation and process training for Yardi, the new property management system. Once fully implemented there are several key internal controls within the system that will alert property management team to tenant issues regarding rent and recertifications. Items such as documenting extenuating circumstances in TRACS and updating the form 50059 will occur more timely once Inglis has successfully implemented Yardi property management system for each property.
