Based on the initial findings by the team at RBT while auditing Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) tenant income certification files, Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority (SMHA) immediately implemented the use of a check list to be used by SMHA occupancy specialists. The check list is to be placed in each file and is made up of each compliance requirement for income certification with an area for the specialist initial once completed. This checklist services as documentation that all compliance requirements are met and verified for a tenant household. In addition to this immediate change with our HCV program and process, SMHA has implemented the use of this checklist with our Public Housing program and its tenant income certification documentation. Immediate supervisors will review completed files to verify use of these checklists, using them to teach and coach occupancy specialists in the income certification process.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Housing Voucher Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 14.871 / 14.879, Section 8 Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 14.249 / 14.856 Recommendation: The Authority should implement processes to ensure that inspection requirements are met timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: This finding is an isolated situation which resulted from staff transition and a transition away from annual to biennial inspections. Because of its size, the HCV program is audited every year and this is the first year that scheduling concerns have been raised. Prior to the finding issuance by the Auditors and within the period being audited, the BHA had already taken steps to correct the scheduling issue. During a regular Leased Housing management review in December of 2024, it was determined that the system of record was not populating the appropriate due date after a passed inspection and staff misunderstood the requirement that all inspections must occur in less than 2-years after a passed inspection, regardless of the SEMAP or fiscal year cycles. As a result of this review, the parameters in the Elite system were updated and a retraining of staff occurred. The result was a SEMAP report as of March 31, 2025 where the percentage of units under contract with overdue annual HQS inspections was less than 2%. BHA will continue to match our system of record to PIC to be sure inspection scheduling remains within the two-year period.
