To assure program compliance with Housing Quality Standards (HQS), the Jackson Housing Authority's (JHA) Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program will conduct a comprehensive review of all units to identify any that are overdue for HQS inspections. This will be done by utilizing the adhoc report in HUD's PIC Secure Systems, along with the Past Due Inspections report in Emphasys Elite, JHA's current software. Any past due inspections will be scheduled and completed within 30 days. Fourteen of the fifteen inspections that were cited in the 2025 financial audit, all now have a passed inspection for the 2025 fiscal year. The one remaining inspection has been sent to JHA's third party inspection company, McCright and Associates, and has been imported and will be scheduled for inspection before current month's end. JHA currently has one staff member who is HQS certified and will work closely with the Director or Rental Assistance, as well as with McCright and Associates, to monitor and track the inspection processes, via daily correspondence and tracking log sent from McCright and Associates. We will also work with Emphasys Elite (software provider) to assure that automated reminders are in place to give 60-90 days' notice of upcoming inspection deadlines. Monthly internal reviews will be conducted to verify that all units follow HQS inspection schedules and rent abatements will be enforced according to federal regulations. The Director of Rental Assistnce, Sheronda Watson, remains responsible for program oversight and compliance. If you have questions or need anything further, please feel free to contact me at 731-422-1671 ext.103 or mreid@jacksonha.com.

Finding – Title 2 CFR Part 200 and the terms of the federal award require recipients to comply with program reporting requirements, including the timely submission of required financial reports. Timely reporting is a key internal control over compliance designed to ensure appropriate monitoring of federal expenditures and program activity. Under the Technical Assistance and Training Grants - Circuit Rider Services program, the National Rural Water Association requires recipients to submit monthly financial reports no later than 10 working days after the month following the reported activity. For the period January through May 2025, all required monthly financial reports were submitted timely. However, for the period June through December 2025, all monthly financial reports were submitted after the required deadline, in some cases significantly late. Recommendation – The auditor recommends that management strengthen internal control over compliance by: • Establishing documented procedures and internal deadlines to ensure monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted in accordance with program requirements. • Implementing management-level review and monitoring controls to verify that required reports are submitted timely, particularly during periods of staff transition. • Ensuring that personnel responsible for federal reporting possess the appropriate experience and training related to federal grant compliance requirements. • Developing contingency plans or cross-training procedures to ensure continuity of compliance functions in the event of future personnel turnover. Action to be taken – Documented policies and procedures were left for the succeeding financial manager. The Finance Director who left the Organization was also available as a consultant during the rest of 2025. Help was made available to the new financial personnel through both executive management and the consultant. More in-depth training and screening will be prepared in succession planning by the current Finance Director during the summer of 2026. Emphasis will be given to timeliness and accuracy. New programs are also being screened for payroll and expense reporting, allowing for direct import as opposed to manual entry, allowing for better accuracy and timing of financial reports. The new Standard Operating Procedures will be shared with Executive management so they might step in in the event that there is a gap in the financial management position. Executive management is also evaluating the use of an independent accounting firm in the event of a vacancy in the future. Estimated completion date – December 31, 2026 Responsible person – Jennifer Lewis, CPA, Finance Director

Finding 2025-004 Federal Agency Name – Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing Number – 14.871 & 14.879 Program Name – Housing Voucher Cluster Finding Summary: The Commission’s control in place for review of the tenant’s rent payment used for tenant files on annual reviews was not operating effectively. In seven of the 60 tenant files tested, the tenant’s payment amounts were calculated incorrectly. Five of the seven files with errors would have been de minimis errors which the compliance supplement notes as an error of less than $30 per month. Also, two tenants’ social security number documentation in the tenant files did not match Form 50058. Responsible Individuals: Brett Bill, Executive Director Corrective Action Plan: The Commission has had recent turnover in the Section 8 Program. Additional training will be provided to new staff to ensure that they are aware of program requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: 5/1/2026

Name of contact person: Matthew Wrigley, Accounting Financial and Audit Manager Plan: The 2025 reserve deficit was resolved 4/30/26. The monthly internal reserve transfers are tracked for each site and included in a monthly csv transfer import when cashflow proves viable. There are monthly reminders and a schedule in place to review cash and initiate for all sites. In the event the transfer fails to occur, the liability is either accrued or independently tracked. From there, we continue to monitor the cashflow for feasibility and attempt to resolve any overdue transfers. To ensure compliance, non-essential payables will be withheld from processing. Mortgages, utilities, and insurance will be considered as essential to mitigate critical fees, cancellations, or shut-offs. These procedures are already in place as of 2026. Date of planned corrective action: April 30, 2026

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 and 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Reasonable Rent Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Reasonable Rent. The Authority must do the following: The Authority must determine that the rent to owner is reasonable at the time of initial leasing. Also, the Authority must determine reasonable rent during the term of the contract (a) before any increase in the rent to owner, and (b) at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 5 percent decrease in the published Fair Market Rent in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The Authority must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to owner is a reasonable rent (initially and during the term of the HAP contract) (24 CFR sections 982.4, 982.54(d)(15), 982.158(f)(7), and 982.507). Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and discussion with management, the Authority did not have procedures or software in place to perform the required evaluation of rent reasonableness. Context: There were approximately fifteen(15) newly leased units in the Emergency Housing Vouchers Program. Of a sample size of two (2) newly leased units in the Emergency Housing Vouchers Program, two (2) unit's documentation of reasonable rent was not available for examination. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: Unknown Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. The Authority experienced high turnover and did not properly train employees in the HCV department, which resulted in the Authority having a limited capacity to perform rent reasonableness calculations and properly maintain and monitor a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance with program requirements. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority establish a software and implement a process whereby Authority personnel are hired and trained on performing the appropriate rent reasonableness procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the deficiencies in the Section 8 Housing Voucher Cluster Programs and will train staff on rent reasonableness and implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Malcom Isler, HCV Program Director/Interim Deputy Executive Director is responsible for ensuring proper internal controls are in place to prevent significant deficiencies and material weaknesses from occurring and is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026.

Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: HQS Enforcement. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the Authority must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. If deficiencies are not correcting in the required time period, the Authority must abate housing assistance payments in accordance with their admin plan. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussions with management, the Authority did not provide support for two (2) failed inspections. Context: Of a sample size of two (2) failed inspections, the Authority did not provide support for two (2) failed inspections selected for testing, and did not abate housing assistance payments for the two (2) units selected. As a result, the Authority was not in compliance with the HQS as required by 24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b). Known Questioned Costs: $31,548 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement due to high turnover. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster Programs are in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority implement a process whereby Authority personnel are hired and trained on HQS enforcement that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the deficiencies in the Housing Voucher Cluster Programs and has implemented a process to prevent the same issues from occurring. The Authority will also continue to train staff on HQS enforcement and enhance it's internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Malcom Isler, HCV Program Director/Interim Deputy Executive Director is responsible for ensuring proper internal controls are in place to prevent significant deficiencies and material weaknesses from occurring and is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026.

Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Criteria: HQS Inspections. Per the Authority's HCV Admin Plan, the PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually 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 unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: Of a sample size of twenty-four (24) units, thirteen (13) units did not have annual HQS inspections performed timely. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $131,112 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster is in material non-compliance with the with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance related to HQS inspections in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the significant deficiency in the Housing Voucher Cluster Programs and will implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations.

These files 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 documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 1,056 units. Of a sample size of twenty-four (24) tenant files, the following was noted:  HUD form 9886 was unable to be provided in 6 files - Verification of income was unable to be provided in 2 files - HUD-50058 form was unavailable for review in 4 files - Citizen Declaration Section 214 form was unable to be provided in 9 files - Signed leases were unable to be provided in 8 files - Original application was missing in 2 files - Lead based paint forms were missing 2 files - The Authority was unable to provide 1 tenant file during the time of audit. Known Questioned Costs: $ 149,640 Cause: There is a material weakness in the Housing Voucher Cluster in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority experienced high turnover and did not properly train employees in the HCV department, which resulted in the Authority having a limited capacity to perform the required maintenance of tenant files, and properly maintain and monitor a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster Programs are in material non-compliance with the eligibility requirements of the programs. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority implement a process whereby Authority personnel are hired and trained on tenant file maintenance so that documents are accumulated, stored and safeguarded to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the deficiencies in the Housing Voucher Cluster Programs and will train staff on the proper maintenance of tenant files and implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations.
