Corrective Action Plan: Upon assuming the role of Executive Director in July 2024, it became clear that rent reasonableness studies were not being conducted under the previous administration, as required. Recognizing the importance of compliance with HUD regulations, I initiated the implementation of a rent reasonableness policy and process. To support this effort, we entered into a contract with MRI to provide us with the rent reasonableness software. Last year we supplied MRI with the necessary property addresses and zip codes to begin the analysis. Due to the complexity of the implementation and the volume of data required, the setup process took time. We are now actively incorporating rent reasonableness determinations into all tenant files during annual recertifications and interims. With nearly 700 families in our program, this is an ongoing process, but significant progress has been made. Our team is fully committed to ensuring full compliance with HUD regulations, and we continue to work diligently toward that goal. In addition, to ensure continued compliance and to maintain the integrity of our files, the HCV Supervisor will be conducting weekly audits. This internal quality control measure helps us identify and address any inconsistencies or issues in a timely manner.

FINDING 2024-002 "Housing Choice Voucher Tenant Files - Eligibility - Internal Control over Tenant Files - Noncompliance & Significant Deficiency 11 SHA RESPONSE The Springfield Housing Authority acknowledges the seven (7) errors as delineated in the full 2024 FYE audit report. In 2024, the Springfield Housing Authority Housing Choice Voucher program delineated the following positions to undertake income and rent calculations: one (1) Special Programs Coordinator, four (4) HCV Specialists and one (1) Program Integrity Specialist. Of those six (6) employees, only one had a tenure longer than 12 months. Due to continuing post COVID-19 turnover and lack of qualified workers in the local workforce, the SHA experienced a higher than usual turnover rate in the HCV positions that conduct rent calculations during the majority of FY2024. The Springfield Housing Authority hired third party consultants to assist with annual recertifications in the 3rd Quarter of 2023 that continued through December 31, 2024. The primary function of the Program Integrity Specialist position is to audit and quality control tenant files and rent calculations conducted by HCV Specialists. The HCV Director and/or HCV Manager is responsible for reviewing 3% of recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist position as an additional quality control measure. This error rate was directly attributable to the unprecedented turnover rate of HCV Specialists during the 2024 fiscal year. The Director of HCV, HCV Manager, HCV Specialists, HCV Special Programs Coordinator and Program Integrity Specialist were provided additional internal and external training opportunities in HCV rent calculations and program integrity in June 2025. The SHA will take the following corrective actions to correct the errors and/or prevent the errors moving forward: • The Program Integrity Specialist will conduct reviews of 100% of annual and interim recertifications for HCV program participants by December 31, 2025. • The Program Integrity Specialist will ensure 100% audited file corrections are completed by the HCV Specialists, monthly. • The HCV Director and/or Manager will review 10% of the recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist as an additional quality control measure by December 31, 2025. • Any newly hired HCV Director, HCV Manager, HCV Specialists and Program Integrity Specialist will be provided with additional external training opportunities in Housing Choice Voucher program income and rent calculations and program integrity within sixty (60) days of employment. • The HCV Director and/or Manager will re-review the files identified with errors during the independent audit and resolve the errors in accordance with the SHA Administrative Plan and HUD rules and regulations by December 31, 2025.

FINDING 2024-001 "Public Housing Tenant Files - Eligibility- Internal Control Over Tenant Files Non-Compliance and Significant Deficiency" SHA RESPONSE • The Springfield Housing Authority acknowledges the five (5) errors as delineated in the full 2024 FYE audit report. The auditors pulled files from two points in time through the fiscal year. It was noted that the identified errors were from the second half of the fiscal year tenant actions (July- December) when the Springfield Housing Authority experienced a staffing shortage in both the Program Integrity and Asset Manager functions of the Public Housing program. The majority of identified errors were found in instances where the public housing operations was short staffed in five positions (2 Asset Managers, 1 Program Integrity Specialist, 1 Occupancy Specialist and 1 Inspector). Staffing stabilization at the first half of the fiscal year gave way to a higher than usual turnover rate in the positions that conduct rent calculations, file audits and inspections during the latter part of FY2024. The primary function of the Program Integrity Specialist position is to audit and quality control tenant files and rent calculations conducted by Occupancy Specialists. The Asset Managers are responsible for reviewing 3% of recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist position as an additional quality control measure. The Asset Managers, Occupancy Specialists and Program Integrity Specialists were provided additional internal and external training opportunities in low rent public housing rent calculations and program integrity in June 2025. The SHA will take the following corrective actions to correct the errors and/or prevent the errors moving forward: • The Program Integrity Specialist will conduct reviews of 100% of annual and interim recertifications for public housing tenants by December 31, 2025. • The Program Integrity Specialist will ensure 100% audited file corrections are completed by the Occupancy Specialists, monthly. • The Asset Manager(s) will review 10% of the recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist as an additional quality control measure by December 31, 2025. • Any newly hired Asset Managers, Occupancy Specialists and Program Integrity Specialists will be provided with additional external training opportunities in low rent public housing rent calculations and program integrity within sixty (60) days of employment. • The Asset Managers will re-review the files identified with errors during the independent audit and resolve the errors in accordance with the SHA Admissions and Continued Occupancy Plan and HUD rules and regulations by December 31, 2025.
