MANAGEMENT RESPONSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION Management agrees with this finding. Corrective Actions: LHA has taken immediate action to correct this issue. LHA has reviewed the requirements with the third-party vendor and has implemented improved reporting requirements on the inspections reports for their staff. LHA is conducting a retro-active QC effort to identify potential failures by the vendor and their reporting or adherence with LHA policy. LHA is implementing and drafting a QA process to ensure there are additional checks to inspection reports as they are provided to LHA. In addition, the LHA has posted a draft for public comment of the Administrative Plan that we anticipate will be implemented on 7/1/2025. The plan removes reference to adherence to state or local code as the LHA and its vendors are not the appropriate enforcement agency to address those requirements. We anticipate that there will be diminished issues effective immediately and full compliance with the current Administrative by 3/1/2025 and a new Administrative Plan implemented on 7/1/2025 removing the language related to local code enforcement. The responsible staff are the Administrative Clerk, Management Analyst and Executive Director.

Auditee’s Response and Planned Corrective Action The Authority has had staff and consultant turnover during the period under audit. Additionally, the eviction moratorium and lasting effects from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in delaying or receiving no responses from tenants regarding obtaining the necessary documentation for eligibility requirements. The Authority has evidentiary documentation supporting their attempts to obtain the required documents from the tenants, such as certified letters, and courts suspension of evictions during the eviction process. Other documentation related to the moratorium that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, is available which includes evictions for nonpayment and noncompliance. The Authority has been working with legal counsel on these matters and continues to pursue this vigorously. The Authority has also hired new staff and consultants who has been diligently working to implement improvements. In most of the files the checklist cover pages were included but in some files reviewed the oversite cover page checklist was missing, however the required documentations were in place. A greater effort will be made immediately that all files will have completed the control check list cover pages in place with all appropriate signatures noted. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: March 4, 2025 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Keith Burrell, Executive Director

Finding 2024-003: Voucher Management System Reporting NHA Corrective Action: Due to the timing of the agency receiving the Financial Statements after the due date of the VMS, it wasn’t possible to reconcile the VMS to finial numbers, therefore some estimations were made during that time. Newton Housing Authority had the full intention of contracting the fee accounting firm to complete the reports. There were some complications with granting the firm access to our WASS system. Since the roles were removed from the Executive Director, then assigned to the board chair the task at hand complicated the process further. The board chair couldn’t assign the roles as she didn’t have the right roles for her to assign. The assignment of the roles to board chair has been completed, the fee accountant has corrected the remaining reports and is completing them as needed with someone reviewing the report including the Executive Director prior to submission.

Finding 2024-002: Allowable Activities NHA Corrective Action: A new study has been completed by the administrative staff then reviewed by the fee accounting staff. The percentage of allocation has been adjusted according to the time spent on each program. With those results the percentages of the time allocation increased. The agency was transferring funds on a regular basis by the old percentage estimation which was less than the new time study percentage. The percentage of allocation was more than the estimation which then created a larger deficit of repayment. Now that the percentage has been determined the estimated amount will be more accurate percentages. It has been difficult to get financial statements in time to make a transfer of percentages for the exact amount. Going forward, the fee accounting firm will complete the monthly financial reports and will add a transmittal letter. Voucher program’s reimbursement of Public Housing Funds will be based on each month’s transmittal letter which will allow for exact reimbursement of prior month along with estimate of the current month. Allocated expenses once the financials are received from the fee accountant.

Finding 2024-002: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). 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 1,634 units. Of a sample size of twenty-nine (29) tenant files, the following was noted: • Verification of income was missing in 1 file • Lead based paint form was missing in 1 file Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $8,500 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. 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 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Julio Guridy, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2025.
