Finding 2025-003: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 & 14.879 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness 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. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussions with management, the Authority did not properly abate (6) housing assistance payments. Context: Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, the Authority did not properly abate six (6) out of twenty-five (25) housing assistance payments. 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: $75,656. Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement, due to high turnover. This, in addition to software limitations, has resulted in the Authority having a limited capacity to properly maintain and monitor a system of internal controls that reasonably assures program compliance. Effect: The Authority is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement in the Housing Voucher Cluster. 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 administration of programs within the Housing Voucher Cluster 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 its internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Tonya Crawley, HCV Program Director is responsible for ensuring proper internal controls are in place to prevent material weaknesses from occurring and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.

Finding 2025-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 & 14.879 Non Compliance - E. Eligibility - Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness 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 members 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 2,208 units. Of a sample size of thirty-four (34) tenant files, the following was noted: • HUD form 9886 was unable to be provided in 2 files • Citizen Declaration Section 214 form was unable to be provided in 4 files • Signed lease was unable to be provided in 4 files • Lead based paint form was unable to be provided in 1 file Known Questioned Costs: $19,212 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files in the Housing Voucher Cluster. 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 Authority is in material non-compliance with the eligibility requirements of the Housing Voucher Cluster 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 related to the administration of Housing Voucher Cluster and will train staff on the proper maintenance of tenant files and implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Tonya Crawley, HCV Program Director is responsible for ensuring proper internal controls are in place to prevent material weaknesses from occurring and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.

Moving to Work Demonstration Program – Assistance Listing No. 14.881 Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement controls to ensure tenant files include documentation supporting both initial and ongoing eligibility, in accordance with federal regulation and Authority policy. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: SHA has added multiple additional elements to a total quality management approach to certification processing. An additional occupancy manager was hired in 2025 to increase oversight capacity for eligibility and certification processes. Also 5 additional certification specialists are in training to add overall work capacity, with training planned to be completed in August of 2026. The additional certification specialists will mitigate the impacts of staff turnover and large caseloads. A rollout of KPI reporting and accountability measures is currently underway and will be completed by September 2026. The reporting includes individual level review of current work in multiple areas as well as manager review templates for increased visibility and accountability. Monthly trainings in 2026 will highlight documentation and timeline requirements. The one tenant file noted for lack of supporting documentation that the reexamination was complete is a project-based voucher unit operated by the Housing Operations Department under Move to Work activity 15.A.01. This activity enables the Authority to manage project-based voucher units under the public housing program regulations. The corrective action plan for this issue reflects this activity. Housing Operations has recently implemented a new Electronic Filing System Guide and updated procedures outlining electronic filing and record retention requirements. The updated procedure establishes a requirement for supervisors to regularly audit the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of file documentation. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Alice Kimbowa and Dave Wellings Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Continuous. Compliance will provide staff with refresher training on the new filing system guide and procedures, as well as Rent Calculation Training that includes guidance on income determination and income verification standards. Compliance will continue to conduct regular audits of public housing eligibility and recertification files to ensure ongoing adherence to HUD requirements and SHA policy.

Finding 2025-002 – Personal Expenses Charged To The Project Recommendation: Management should strengthen expense and invoice review and approval procedures to ensure that all costs charged to the Project are reasonable, necessary, and directly related to Project operations, in accordance with the HUD Regulatory Agreement. Expense reimbursements should require detailed supporting documentation clearly demonstrating a valid Project purpose. A formal certification should be implemented as part of the approval process to attest that expenses are not personal in nature and have been approved. Internal reviews of Project expenses should be performed to identify and promptly correct any ineligible charges, including reimbursement to the Project where necessary. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The individuals involved in the issues identified during the audit are no longer associated with the Project. Specifically, the former resident property manager is no longer employed by the Corporation and the composition of the Board has changed since the period under review. Management believes the identified issues resulted from a breakdown in adherence to existing approval, oversight and monitoring controls, including collusion among individuals responsible for reviewing and approving expenditures. The Project’s established policies and procedures were not properly followed. With the turnover in key personnel and Board leadership, management expects improved compliance with existing controls and oversight responsibilities. Management and the Board will continue to monitor Project expenses and ensure that expenditures are reviewed and approved in accordance with Project requirements and fiduciary responsibilities.

Finding 2025-001 – Improper approval of invoices Recommendation: We recommend that management should enhance invoice review and approval procedures to ensure that expenses are recorded in the period in which the related services are performed, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and HUD requirements. Approval of invoices should require verification of service dates and services performed prior to recording the expense in the general ledger.

The new management company provides complete transparency and reports directly to the Board.

In addition, purchasing and payment transactions are subject to multiple levels of approval and oversight to help ensure compliance with established policies, proper authorization of expenditures and accurate financial reporting.

Federal Award Finding 2025-005 - Material Weakness, Material Non-Compliance - Special Tests and Provisions, Surplus Cash and Distributions to Owners or Affiliates Finding: During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, project management did not prepare or document a surplus cash calculation in accordance with HUD requirements, nor did management implement controls to review, approve, or retain documentation supporting the required calculation. Recommendation: Management should establish and implement formal policies and procedures to ensure that surplus cash is independently calculated in accordance with HUD requirements and the applicable HUD Regulatory Agreement. Such procedures should include preparation of a documented surplus cash calculation at each required reporting period using HUD-prescribed criteria; Independent review and approval of the surplus cash calculation by appropriate management personnel or, where applicable, the court-appointed receiver; and retention of supporting documentation sufficient to demonstrate compliance with HUD restrictions on the use and distribution of project funds. Management should coordinate with the court-appointed receiver and HUD to ensure that surplus cash determinations are performed consistently and in compliance with program requirements going forward. Action Taken: Management acknowledges the finding related to the absence of an independently prepared and documented surplus cash calculation. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Organization operated in an environment of financial distress, limited staffing resources, and evolving oversight responsibilities, which contributed to informal and undocumented procedures related to surplus cash determinations. As disclosed in the financial statements, the Organization became subject to a court-appointed receivership. Following the appointment of the receiver, responsibility for financial oversight, including compliance with HUD cash flow and surplus cash requirements, has transitioned to the receiver in coordination with HUD. The receiver and management are evaluating HUD requirements related to surplus cash calculation.

Federal Award Finding 2025-004 - Material Weakness, Material Noncompliance - Special Tests and Provisions, Cash Receipts Finding: The Organization maintained cash balances in excess of federally insured limits in financial institutions that did not meet HUD's minimum GNMA rating requirements. Recommendation: The Organization should transfer excess cash balances to financial institutions that meet HUD's GNMA rating requirements or otherwise structure its cash holdings to ensure compliance with federal insurance limits and HUD custodial requirements. Action Taken: Nevins moved to this financial institution with the first HUD loan in 2015. This is a local bank that actively supports Nevin's mission in the community. Given Nevins’ current financial struggles, the balance in the bank seldom exceeds the $250,000 threshold. In addition, the receiver established its own account with East West Bank and was in the process of fully transitioning the operating account to East West Bank at the end of the fiscal year.

Federal Award Finding 2025-003 - Material Weakness, Material Noncompliance - Special Tests and Provisions, Mortgage Reserve Fund, Equipment Replacement Reserve Fund, and Special Escrows Finding: During the audit period, Henry C. Nevins Home, Inc. did not make all required deposits into the reserve for replacement fund in accordance with the terms of the applicable HUD Regulatory Agreement. The required monthly reserve deposits were either not made or were made in amounts less than those required. Recommendation: We recommend that Henry C. Nevins Home, Inc., in coordination with the court-appointed receiver and HUD, establish procedures to ensure that reserve for replacement deposits are made timely and in accordance with the HUD Regulatory Agreement, or that appropriate waivers or modifications are obtained from HUD where compliance is not currently feasible. Action Taken: Management acknowledges the audit finding related to the failure to make required deposits into the reserve for replacement fund in accordance with the HUD Regulatory Agreement. As disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, during the audit period the Organization was subject to a court-appointed receivership effective September 12, 2025 and is in default under its HUD-insured mortgages. As part of the receivership, control over substantially all cash management and financial decision-making activities was assumed by the court-appointed receiver. Management believes that the conditions giving rise to this finding are directly related to liquidity constraints. Given the complexities of the receivership and regulatory environment, a specific timeline for remediation is not able to be determined. As a result of the loan default, the mortgage was assigned to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Since the appointment of the Receiver, responsibility for cash management, financial oversight, and debt service planning has transitioned to the Receiver. The Receiver and the Organization are actively evaluating available options to address the loan default which includes marketing the Organization for a sale. Interim corrective actions include enhanced cashflow monitoring, prioritization of expenses required to continue operations, and ongoing communication with HUD regarding the sale process. Management believes that these actions will address the conditions identified and result in the satisfaction of the HUD loan.

Federal Award Finding 2025-002 - Material Weakness, Material Noncompliance - Special Tests and Provisions, Mortgage Status and Reserve for Replacements Finding: During the fiscal year, the Organization experienced ongoing financial distress and declining liquidity, which adversely affected its ability to meet financial obligations as they became due. As a result, mortgage payments, including required principal, interest, mortgage insurance premiums, and escrow deposits, were not made in accordance with the loan and regulatory agreements. As of December 31, 2025, delinquent amounts totaled approximately $978 thousand. Recommendation: The Receiver and the Organization should work with HUD to develop and implement a formal workout or resolution plan, including enhanced cash-flow monitoring and debt service planning, to address the loan default and restore compliance with HUD debt service requirements. Action Taken: Management acknowledges the finding related to the failure to make required debt service payments under the HUD Section 232 and Section 241(a) insured mortgage loan agreements. The Organization experienced significant financial distress and constrained liquidity during the fiscal year, which limited its ability to remit required principal, interest, mortgage insurance premium, and escrow payments as they became due. As a result of the loan default, the mortgage was assigned to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. With the appointment of a Receiver over the Organization, responsibility for cash management, financial oversight, and debt service planning has transitioned to the Receiver. The Receiver is marketing the facility towards a sale in order to satisfy the outstanding loan balance with HUD. Interim corrective actions include enhanced cash-flow monitoring, prioritization of operational suppliers, and ongoing communication with HUD regarding the project's financial condition and sale status. Management believes that these actions will support progress towards stabilization and marketability of the Organization. Responsible Person: Paul Valentine, Receiver Target Completion Date: September 30, 2026 Status: In process
