Eligibility Public and Indian Housing Program - AL No. 14.850 Material Weakness in Internal Control Material Noncompliance Condition: Out of an approximate population of 621 tenants, a total of 44 tenant files were selected for testing and the following deficiencies were noted:  Eleven files had an annual recertification completed over 12 months after the previous recertification,  Twenty files were missing inspections,  One file was missing a photo identification for one adult tenant,  Three files were missing the flat rent option sheet,  Two files did not have 9886 release of information from within 15 months of the annual recertification, and  Two files were missing all supporting documents. Auditor Recommendations: The Authority should continue to train staff on the established procedures and controls in place to ensure full compliance in regard to eligibility. The Authority needs to correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and consider the impact to the rest of the population of tenant files that were not selected as part of the auditor’s sample. Action Taken: To ensure that assisted tenants pay rents commensurate with their ability to pay, HUD requires that owners conduct a recertification of family income and composition at least annually. Owners must then recompute the tenants' rent and assistance payments if applicable, based on the information gathered. The folowing procedure is put in place to prevent the above conditions found during composition for families in the Public Housing Program. Property Managers will be required to complete the following courses in 2024: 1. Public Housing Management (PHM) or 2. Multifamily Housing Specialist depending on property program criteria Property clerks and Leasing Specialist will be required to complete Rent Calculation courses that correlate to their property program types. HACFM is actively working on creating operationprocedures and process manuals. The procedure manual will include the following requirements to ensure program compliance: Annual recertification packets will be sent to the resident 120 days from the household's annual effective date. Submission of required documentation from resident will be enforced according to the lease agreement. A certification review checklist (attached) to support staff in esuring all documentation is in file and all required signatures are present. The checklist will ensure that the submitter is verifying the file, the property manager has certified the file prior to finalizing the review in the tennat software program and uploading the file to records. The property Manager is required to conduct 5% audit of files monthly and correct any deficiencies found. An audit checklist will be created to support this required task.

The Authority needs to correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and consider the impact to the rest of the population of tenant files that were not selected as part of the auditor’s sample. Action Taken: HCV Department will implement the recommendations as presented. The department does recognize that this is a repeat finding and leadership adjustments have been made, appointing a new program director.

Finding 2024-002 – Housing Choice Voucher Program – Internal Control over Waiting List – Noncompliance and Material Weakness - Housing Choice Voucher Program – ALN 14.871 Corrective Action Plan: Tenant Selection from Waiting List RHA has implemented its corrective action plan identified in the response to the previous audit’s findings, including state-of-the-art YARDI waiting list management software and simplifying admissions preferences. By updating the waiting lists using the new software, the waiting lists are far more manageable now with less than 2,000 active applications. In addition, implementation of YARDI’s Application and Applicant portal have eliminated the need to use mistake-prone strategies like spreadsheets. The entire process is automated and simpler to use. Continued implementation of the software, including educating our applicants (and participants) will eliminate previous instances of noncompliance. RHA will monitor and conduct quality control measures to ensure full compliance. Anticipated Date of Completion. Implementation of all corrective actions are complete. RHA anticipates that it will be in compliance by the end of the current fiscal year—March 31, 2025. Person Responsible: Priscilla Batts, HCV Director, is principally responsible and accountable for the outcome above.

Finding 2024-001 – Housing Choice Voucher Program Tenant Files – Eligibility – Internal Control over Tenant Files – Noncompliance and Material Weakness - Housing Choice Voucher Program – ALN 14.871 Corrective Action Plan: Timeliness of Annual Recertifications RHA has implemented all strategies identified in the Corrective Action Plan in response to the previous audit’s finding regarding later annual recertifications, including, but not limited to: • Competitive compensation to attract and retain qualified employees. • Housing Choice Voucher Certification and other training to enhance RHA’s ability to comply with HUD regulations. • Reorganization of the department to implement case management to replace conveyor-belt style approach to annual recertifications to inject greater accountability for outcomes. • Improved supervisor to employee ratios to ensure that managers have reasonable supervisory loads (maximum of 1 TO 6). • Implementation of YARDI software to increase efficiency of our annual recertification processes. In addition to these corrective action strategies, RHA has also implemented state of the art information tools to track recertifications, measure timeliness and completion performance, and motivate staff and teams to perform at the highest level. The results of these efforts are in line with the expectation that was included in the previous corrective action plan: Anticipated Completion Date: These are mainly system changes that will be fully implemented in 2024, for example, new software, with significant improvements that will be evidenced by December 31, 2024. The results so far in December 2024 have exceeded expectations. For example, • As of December 1, 2024, 87% of recertifications with an effective date of January 1, 2025, had been completed. • As of December 16, 2024, 94% had been completed. • As of December 16, 2024, 73% of recertifications with a due date of January 1, 2025, and an effective date of February 1, 2025, have been completed. Our goal is to complete 90 to 95% by the due date, allowing for cases where participants are late in submitting their information. Having completed all corrective action strategies and plans, RHA expects results that will be in full compliance with completing annual recertification by their due date by July 31, 2025. Person Responsible: Priscilla Batts, HCV Director, is principally responsible and accountable for the outcome above.
