Condition: Discrepancies were noted in the examination of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher tenant files due to intermittent errors in tenant income calculations, misapplication of Payment Standards and Utility Allowances, and misalignment across the HAP Contract, the Request for Tenancy Approval, and the Lease Agreements. Steps to Resolve: Management agrees with this finding and the Auditor's recommendation. The following steps will be taken to correct the deficiencies: Enhanced Internal Controls: We will expand our internal control procedures with respect to compliance with the federal eligibility and annual reexamination requirements set out in 24 CFR section 982.516. To this end, tenant file processing checklists will be developed and integrated into the file calculations and record keeping. In addition, quarterly internal audits of tenant file samples will be conducted in order to identify any discrepancies and ensure program compliance. Targeted staff training will take place as needed. Management will implement the expanded procedures necessary to clear this finding by June 30, 2026. Timeframe: All revised internal control procedures will be fully implemented by June 30, 2026. Responsible parties: Stella Collins, Section 8 HCV Supervisor Alan Degner, Executive Director

Federal program title: Community Development Block Grant – ALN 14.228 Condition: The County has procedures in place used for monitoring loan compliance. This involves sending an email to each HOME beneficiary asking for documents proving they are still a resident (utility bills, insurance documents, etc.) and mailing a physical Certificate of Occupancy for the resident to sign. However, there were two residents which have failed to return any of these documents or a response as of February 27, 2026 The initial inquiry occurred on January 29, 2025 and January 28, 2025 for both residents. Due to an empty employment position at the time of monitoring, the County has failed to perform a physical inspection despite being a procedure in the case of a non-response scenario with a resident. Recommendation: CLA recommends the County hires the staff necessary to ensure that all monitoring procedures are performed. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned in response to finding: The letters mailed to loan recipients indicates that the County may do a physical inspection, and while hiring an employee to work the administration/monitoring of the CDBG loan portfolio would be ideal, there are not sufficient county funds to do so. County Administration, who is currently responsible for monitoring previous CDBG loans, will send follow-up letters to any individual who does not submit the required documents by the deadline and then work with the State to determine further allowable actions.

PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTION: Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) adheres to Section 1003.23, Florida Statutes, as it pertains to withdrawal of all students enrolled in the District. Based on the DOE's Comprehensive Management Information System Automated Student Attendance Recordkeeping System Handbook: A withdrawal is official when one or more of the following occurs: 1. A parent or legal guardian notifies the school that the child is permanently leaving the school to enroll in another school or in home education. 2. A request for the student's school record is received from a public or private school, in- or out-of-state, in which the student is enrolled or plans to enroll. 3. The student has died. 4. The student transferred to a prison or juvenile facility. The following withdrawal procedures are in place for scenarios where a student needs to be removed from the cohort due to emigration: 1. The registering parent notifies the school, in person, that the student is withdrawing because of having to leave the country. 2. The registrar validates the individual requesting to withdraw the student is the registering parent/legal guardian. 3. The registrar goes to the Student Information screen and inputs Code W3B under the transaction code, and inputs in the School Location line, FLOR or out of Florida identifier. 4. The registrar complete the Notice of Withdrawal/Transfer screen in DSIS by inputting the New School Name, New School Address, (City, State, Country), and phone numbers in addition to the out of Florida identifier (FLOR). 5. The registrar prints the Notice of Withdrawal/Transfer screen and the registering parent signs and dates the document. 6. The registrar provides the registering parent with a copy of the signed Notice of Withdrawal/Transfer screen and keeps a copy of the documentation in the student's cumulative folder (CUM). Upon further review, the District examined the Every Student Succeeds Act High School Graduation Rate Non-Regulatory Guidance. The guidance indicates that for students who leave the country, documentation of withdrawal may include the parent's signed confirmation indicating the student is departing the United States. The District's current procedure requiring a parent or guardian signature on the PF15 aligns with this guidance and reflects the parent's formal acknowledgement that the student is leaving the country and no longer enrolled in the District. The District's withdrawal procedures strictly adhere to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Automated Student Attendance Recordkeeping System Handbook. Per State protocol, a withdrawal is deemed official when a parent or legal guardian notifies the school that the child is leaving to enroll in another school. M-DCPS considers the parent's signed acknowledgment at the point of withdrawal as official documentation of a change in status, rather than a mere statement of "intent". While the District followed established State recordkeeping protocols, we recognize the Auditor General's emphasis on the additional evidentiary requirements found in Title 20, Section 7801(25), United States Codes. To address the variance between State and Federal requirements, the District will consult with the Florida Department of Education to seek clarification and work toward reconciling State withdrawal codes with Federal graduation cohort documentation standards.

Corrective Action Plan for Current Year Findings and Questioned Costs for the Year Ended June 30, 2025 Reference # and title: 2025-001 Public Housing Tenant Files – Eligibility – Rent Calculations Federal Program and specific federal award identification: FEDERAL GRANTER/PASS THROUGH GRANTOR/PROGRAM NAME – United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Program Asst. Listing Number: 14.850 Award Year: 2024 and 2025 Condition: The Code of Federal Regulations, the Housing Authority’s Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP), and specific HUD guidelines in documenting and maintaining Public Housing tenant files. Our review of seventy-five (75) Low Rent Public Housing tenant files identified noncompliance in ten (10) files, representing 13% of the sample. We noted the following discrepancies: Seven (7) files contained miscalculations of annual income. Two (2) files where verified deductions were not input onto the 50058. One (1) file relied on self-declaration without documented attempts to gather the preferred verification. The identified deficiencies were the result of employee errors and failure by the Agency to properly review and correct the errors. While the Agency has increased its internal quality control procedures in recent years, misunderstandings in staff roles and responsibilities during the audit period allowed the discrepancies to remain undetected. Corrective action planned: A number of the discrepancies noted by the auditor were associated with Burg Jones Plaza. To improve operations at this complex, the Housing Authority is currently working to increase operational capacity by hiring an additional Property Manager, Assistant Property Manager and Maintenance Manager. In addition to increased staff, the Housing Authority is in the process of hiring a third-party compliance vendor to conduct a thorough review of all resident files at Burg Jones Plaza to ensure compliance with regulations. This will add additional accountability to ensure the timeliness of recertifications, accuracy of rent calculations and the completion of income verifications. To further strengthen the operations of Burg Jones Plaza as well as all complexes managed and operated by Monroe Housing Authority, the Housing Authority is actively sourcing technology solutions to transition the agency to 100% online processing that will streamline administrative tasks, reduce paper-based errors and increase transparency and accountability.
