Title: Inadequate Tenant File Documentation and Inconsistencies in MTW Housing Assistance and Public Housing Records Program Name: Moving to Work Demonstration Program ALN: 14.881 Description: During tenant file testing for both the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Public Housing (PH) components of the Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program, we identified multiple deficiencies in the Authority's documentation and reporting practices: 1. For the MTW HAP (HCV) sample, the Authority did not properly complete the "Summary Decision on the Unit" section of the HUD Form 52580-A, which documents the final pass or fail outcome of the Housing Quality Standards {HQS) inspection. As a result, it could not be confirmed whether the unit met HQS requirements at the time of assistance. 2. In six out of twenty-three HCV tenant files tested, housing assistance payments did not agree with the amounts reported on HUD Form 50058, and no reconciliations or explanations were provided. 3. For one out of twenty-three HCV tenants, the Authority was unable to provide a Form 50058 covering the period for which the HAP payment was selected, leaving the payment unsupported. 4. In the MTW Public Housing sample, five out of seventeen tenant files contained discrepancies between tenant receipts or rent register balances and the amounts reported on HUD Form 50058, without adequate explanation or reconciliation. 5. For one out of seventeen Public Housing tenants, the Authority was unable to provide any support for either the receipt from or payment to the tenant for the period tested. Planned Corrective Action: Fiscal Year 2024 was a year marked by personnel turnover in key administrative, accounting, and human resources positions. The Authority will work to implement a (a) process to ensure that Hud Form 52580-A is fully completed for all HQS inspections, documenting pass or fail outcomes, (b) establish procedures for reconciling housing assistance payments (HAP) and tenant rent payments with amounts reported on HUD Form 50058, documenting any

Title: Missing Required Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program Documentation Program Name: Moving to Work Demonstration Program ALN: 14.881 Description: During our review of the Authority's administration of the MTW Program, the Authority was unable to provide two critical documents required to support its eligibility and compliance under the MTW framework: he Authority did not provide a copy of its Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), which serves as the foundational agreement between the Authority and HUD for the receipt and use of federal funds. 2. The Authority also failed to provide a signed MTW Certification of Compliance for the most recent fiscal year, which affirms board approval of the MTW Plan and Report and verifies the Authority's adherence to MTW statutory objectives and HUD program requirements.Planned Corrective Action: Fiscal Year 2024 was a year marked by personnel turnover in key administrative, accounting, and human resources positions. The Authority will work to locate and archive the ACC and to complete an MTW Certification of Compliance.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) DC Access System (DCAS) team agree with the findings. For the twelve (12) findings, DHS/ESA has identified the description of the deficiencies, examined the magnitude and geographic extent of the deficiencies, identified the actions completed to eliminate the deficiencies. The District will focus on efforts that will create the maximum impact, which includes creating new options for collaboration, streamlining current communication, and introducing cross-functional prioritization. These strategies will help the District move projects toward completion and are rooted in continuous quality improvement. To guide its strategic efforts and track its impact, DHS has outlined the following four phases of corrective action plans to be taken to ensure the deficiencies will be eliminated: • Review and Prioritization, • Design and Development, • Implementation, and • Monitor and Evaluation. Each phase has several process steps including a completion document that signals the permission to move to the next phase. The detailed process steps are documented under DHS’ Consolidated Semi-Annual SNAP Advance Warning Letter Corrective Action Plan and FFY2025 Quality Control Corrective Action Plan reports. The corrective action plan is facilitated by the Quality Improvement Program and since implementing this process in January 2021, the District has identified root causes for errors and gaps in internal auditing and evaluation processes. Therefore, the flow of the semi-annual corrective action plans reflects the District’s commitment to a collaborative corrective action plan - expanding the data analysis section to include data and analysis of internal methods, a complete summary of each phase completed, and a timeline for upcoming phase/project completion.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871. 14.879, and 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: HQS Inspections. Per the Authority's HCV Admin Plan, the PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family biennially in order to determine if the unit meets HQS standards, and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). These inspection reports are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management there were inspection reports that were not completed timely. Context: Of a sample size of thirty-nine (39) units, five (5) units did not have biennial HQS inspections performed timely. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $4,214 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. The Authority has not properly performed HQS inspections in compliance with program requirements. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Authority Response: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and will make the necessary changes to its inspection process to ensure enforcement of Housing Quality Standards (or any subsequent replacement. Lynette Brown, Section 8 Manager, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2025.

Reference Number: 2024-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Title: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Catalog Number: 14.871 Federal Grant Number: Not Applicable Category of Finding: Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Classification of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Instance of Noncompliance Authority’s Response & Actions Taken The Authority has made considerable progress in addressing the backlog of annual Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections and enforcement since transitioning the programmatic functions of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program to third-party contractors. While significant strides have been made, the Authority acknowledges that further progress is necessary and remains actively engaged with its third-party HCV contractors to ensure that all HCV-assisted units meet and consistently maintain HUD’s HQS requirements. The Authority remains committed to ensuring that all units under contract are not only compliant but provide safe, sanitary, and decent housing in accordance with HQS regulations and the Authority’s Administrative Plan. The discrepancies noted in the audit were primarily due to inconsistencies in the application of enforcement timelines and insufficient documentation related to landlord extension requests and their corresponding approvals. Importantly, all delayed follow-up inspections identified during the audit were successfully completed outside the required timeframes. Each unit passed inspection and was found to be compliant with HUD HQS standards. Housing assistance payments (HAP) were accurately processed for these units, and no abatements were necessary. The Authority continues to refine its inspection protocols, improve documentation practices, and reinforce contractor accountability to ensure timely and compliant HQS inspections across the entire HCV portfolio. The Authority uses the Emphasys Elite software to schedule, record, and enforce HQS inspections. The Authority also uses its Customer Relations Management (CRM) system to track units that have failed an HQS inspection. To prevent recurrence, the Authority has already implemented the following corrective steps: • Daily review process of units that have failed and/or no-showed two or more consecutive inspections. The inspection department uses this process to accurately review the letter generation and notification process for HQS deficiencies and notices of abatement. The inspection department manually reviews and generates both letters to their respective parties (landlord/owner and tenant). • In addition to the daily morning review, at the close of business the HCV contractor will review the failed emergency inspections and will schedule any emergency re-inspections to ensure compliance with HQS enforcement rules and regulations. The Authority’s corrective steps outlined above will significantly strengthen its compliance efforts, reduce risk, and enhance the overall quality and integrity of the HCV program.

Reference Number: 2024-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Title: Housing Choice Cluster Federal Catalog Number: 14.871 and 14.879 Federal Grant Number: Not Applicable Category of Finding: Special Tests and Provisions (Housing Quality Standards Inspections) Classification of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Instance of Noncompliance Authority’s Response & Actions Taken The Authority has made considerable progress in addressing the backlog of annual inspections that resulted from restricted unit access and the temporary implementation of HUD waivers during the COVID-19 national pandemic. These necessary public health measures, while appropriate at the time, contributed to delays in fulfilling Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection requirements. The Authority acknowledges that additional progress is still needed and remains actively engaged with its third-party Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) contractors to ensure timely completion of all outstanding inspections. The Authority is fully committed to ensuring that all units under contract meet and exceed HUD’s standards for safe, decent, and sanitary housing, in accordance with HQS and the Authority’s Administrative Plan. All five annual inspections with exceptions noted during the audit were inspected after the required timeframes and ultimately passed inspection with the units determined to be in full compliance with HUD requirements. The Authority uses the Emphasys Elite software to check against HUD's PIH Information Center (PIC) system to identify units with outstanding Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspections. The Authority has scheduled HQS Inspections for the units identified to be out of compliance. Key strategies and controls in place are as follows: Project-Based Program: For the PBV program, the Authority has already implemented the following procedures to result in timely HQS inspections of all units. 1. Matching data between the Emphasys Elite system of records to ensure the most overdue inspections are scheduled. 2. A bulk inspection process was implemented effective November 1, 2024. Through this process, all units for a particular PBV site are scheduled for their annual inspections in the same month each year. This ensures that all units are inspected annually. The scheduling process includes: a. Posting the bulk inspection schedule on the website. This is an annual schedule which identifies properties, property management, and the month the project will be inspected. b. Providing notice to the applicable site owner/manager of the inspection date and the units to be inspected. The notice will include information on how to prepare for the inspection, a request to have site staff accompany the inspector, and a reminder to notify residents so access can be gained even if no one is home. c. Sending individual inspection notices to the owner and participant for each scheduled inspection. For the PBV portfolio, staff will work directly with property management and developers to ensure access to units is continuously granted. Upcoming bulk inspections are also discussed on calls with owners. This allows for increased planning and respect for noticing timelines. Tenant-Based Program: • Review the report of outstanding HQS Inspections on a weekly basis. • Schedule outstanding HQS Inspections in order of aging date. • Conduct HQS Inspections prior to the anniversary date of previously completed inspection. • Running a monthly report of failed inspections and comparing them with future scheduled inspections to ensure that a second inspection has been scheduled. • Running a monthly report to identify units with two failed inspections to ensure all have been abated correctly. • Implement weekly monitoring to ensure all units are properly abated and lifted timely when units pass inspections and contracts are properly terminated after being in abatement for 180 days without a cure. The Authority has worked with Emphasys to identify the best ways to sort aged HQS inspections due and generate/schedule in bulk, as well as maximize the Inspector’s workday by routing the tenantbased units in a way that flows in a clear and orderly manner. Similar to the handling of delinquent annual reexaminations, the Authority is checking the data in PIC with the system of records and processing 50058 corrections where inspections have been completed but rejected in PIC due to out of sequence effective dates and any other fatal errors that require corrective action. The procedures for the project-based and tenant-based programs are already in effect, and the backlog of inspections has been substantially reduced as illustrated by a reporting rate of 99% for SEMAP Indicator 12 annual HQS inspections as of May 31, 2025. Monthly performance reports are also reviewed by management to ensure inspection timeliness is maintained.

Reference Number: 2024-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Title: Housing Choice Cluster Federal Catalog Number: 14.871 and 14.879 Federal Grant Number: Not Applicable Category of Finding: Eligibility Classification of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Material Noncompliance Authority’s Response & Actions Taken The Authority has made considerable progress in addressing the backlog of annual re-examinations that resulted from the transition of a third-party contractor to new third-party contractors to administer its Project-Based and Tenant-Based Voucher Programs. The material weakness was further exasperated by tenants not responding to re-examination notices or failing to provide the required income and household documentation by established deadlines. In an effort to avoid unnecessary subsidy terminations and protect vulnerable tenants, the Authority’s administrative plan allows for extended grace periods and repeated follow-ups. While this tenant-centered approach helped mitigate adverse outcomes for families, it also contributed to delays and ultimately resulted in noncompliance with HUD’s timeliness requirements. The Authority recognizes the critical importance of conducting timely and accurate annual reexaminations to maintain program integrity, ensure proper subsidy determination, and remain in compliance with HUD regulations. With that said, the Authority continues to work diligently with its third-party HCV contractors, city department partners, onsite service providers and property management companies to ensure the Authority is timely recertifying all assisted households. Although the Authority has established procedures to initiate reexaminations 150 days in advance of their due dates, a significant portion of the delays cited in the recent audit were the result of tenant non-responsiveness—specifically, the failure to provide required documentation despite multiple notices and outreach efforts. Importantly, all overdue reexaminations identified during the audit were ultimately completed. Each of the affected households was determined to be eligible under HUD guidelines, and housing assistance payments (HAPs) were accurately processed based on verified household information. The Authority remains committed to its tenant-centered mission, which prioritizes preventing unnecessary subsidy terminations and supporting household stability. At the same time, the Authority fully recognizes the importance of complying with HUD’s reexamination timelines. The corrective actions outlined below are designed to ensure that tenant-related delays are minimized, documented, and managed in a way that prevents the recurrence of this material weakness. To address this finding and in accordance with the Authority’s Administrative Plan and HUD rules and regulations, the Authority has already implemented the following actions starting fiscal year 2023-24: • Initiating the Annual Re-examination process 150 days before the required anniversary date to give households more time to comply. • Reviewing the report of outstanding Annual Re-examinations on a weekly basis. • Scheduling additional partner calls with property management and resident services to assist non-compliant families. • Enforcing Annual Reexamination compliance through the Intent to Terminate process • Scheduling and completing on-site visits for senior-disabled sites and non-restricted sites with large numbers of families out of compliance. • Reviewing discrepancies between the Authority’s System of Record and PIH Information Center, the official database of HUD. Per CFR 24 985.3, Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) Indicator 9 for Annual Reexamination, 95% of all households must be recertified within 14 months of their last annual recertification to maintain full compliance, and 90% of all households must be recertified within 14 months to maintain partial compliance with the SEMAP Assessment standards required by HUD. The Authority expects to hit 90% by the end of the SEMAP year September 30, 2025.

Title: Housing Choice Voucher Program Name: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers ALN: 14.871 Description: During the audit of the Authority, it was noted that federal funds were inappropriately loaned to affiliated entities without proper authorization or adherence to federal cash management requirements. Specifically, the entity disbursed $43,533 in federal funds to the Housing Authority of Florence under the guise of a temporary loan, which was not supported by a formal agreement, lacked board approval, and was not repaid within the fiscal year. Planned Corrective Action: Today’s Marlboro County Housing Authority management concurs with the auditor’s finding that federal funds were disbursed to an affiliated entity without proper authorization, documentation, or compliance with federal cash management requirements. The Authority acknowledges that this disbursement represented a lapse in internal controls and was not consistent with the requirements outlined in 2 CFR §200.305(b). During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Authority also had a payable to the same affiliate in its Public Housing Program totaling $37,658. During the current 2024-2025 fiscal year, the Authority reimbursed its HCV program the amount loaned from its HCV program by the funds owed to the affiliate in its Public Housing Program. Today’s Marlboro County Housing Authority currently has an amount of $2,015 due to its affiliate as of May 31, 2025.
