The Project will make catch-up deposits when operating cash is available. In addition, the following measures have been implemented: 􀁸 A monthly compliance checklist has been established to verify timely reserve for replacement deposits. 􀁸 The Housing Accountant is required to provide monthly confirmation to the Executive Director that deposits have been made, with documentation. 􀁸 Cash flow forecasting is now conducted monthly to identify potential shortfalls in advance. This allows management to prioritize HUD-mandated deposits and, if necessary, seek HUD approval for a rent increase to improve financial stability. 􀁸 A financial policy was adopted to temporarily defer discretionary or non-essential expenditures when cash flow is tight, ensuring compliance with HUD obligations.

Condition: The Organization had cash balances that exceeded federally insured limits, and management did not monitor or maintain documentation of the financial institutions’ ratings Criteria: HUD guidelines require cash to be maintained in financial institutions that meet minimum GNMA ratings when balances exceed federally insured limits. Financial institution ratings are to be monitored by management on a quarterly basis, and documentation is to be maintained for at least three years as required by the HUD handbook 4350.1 Cause: The cause of this issue was the absence of established procedures requiring periodic review of cash balances exceeding federally insured limits and the lack of a documented process for monitoring and retaining financial institution rating information. Effect: There were no negative effects on the Organization. Action Plan: The Organization has maintained a strong partnership with our banking institution for several years, and this relationship continues to provide meaningful support to our residents and community. Management acknowledges that certain cash balances exceeded federally insured limits and that documentation of financial institution ratings was not consistently monitored or maintained. To address this, management will (1) evaluate opportunities to rebalance cash holdings to remain within insured limits where feasible, and (2) implement a formal process to review, document, and retain financial institution credit ratings on at least a quarterly basis. This process will be incorporated into the Organization’s ongoing treasury and risk-management procedures to ensure compliance going forward.

Criteria: HUD requires the Organization to maintain fidelity bond coverage of at least two months' cash collections Cause: Following completion of the 2025 Mark-to-Market process for HRCA Housing for Elderly Inc., we failed to update our fidelity bond coverage to reflect the revised requirements. Action Plan: Once the finding was identified, we immediately contacted our insurance broker and requested an increase to the fidelity bond coverage. The bond has since been raised to a $2M limit, and the updated policy became effective on 11/14/25. Going forward, the fiscal team will incorporate an annual verification of bond coverage into its routine monitoring procedures to ensure timely updates after significant organizational or regulatory changes. In addition, we are implementing an internal audit component to enhance our review of all HUD requirements. This added oversight will help mitigate future risk and ensure continued compliance with all applicable regulations.

Finding #2025-001: Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation: The Corporation received a reimbursement from the reserve for replacements, as approved by HUD, for $17,400 for HVAC services based on a proposal during the year ended September 30, 2025; however the proposal was never accepted and the scheduled repairs never incurred. At September 30, 2025, the $17,400 had not been deposited back into the reserve for replacements. Management should transfer $17,400 from the operating account to the reserve for replacements account. Action(s) taken or planned on the finding: Management concurs with the finding and recommendation. On November 6, 2025, management transferred $17,400 from the operating account to the reserve for replacements.
Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: The Organization calculated surplus cash of $31,225 as of September 30, 2020 and surplus cash of $39,082 as of September 30, 2021, which includes the undeposited amount from September 30, 2020.

Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: The Organization calculated surplus cash of $31,225 as of September 30, 2020 and surplus cash of $39,082 as of September 30, 2021, which includes the undeposited amount from September 30, 2020. This amount was not deposited into a residual receipts fund account. The Organization calculated surplus cash of $149,237 as of September 30, 2022, which includes the undeposited amount from September 30, 2021. The Organization has not deposited this amount into a separate residual receipts fund account within 90 days of the fiscal year-end. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: Ron Wilson is responsible to ensure corrective actions are taken. Management disagrees with the finding because surplus cash was caused by a release from the replacement reserve and a timing difference between the release of the reserve and the addition of building improvements. Building improvements and a related payable were recorded during the year ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2025, the Organization did not have any surplus cash; therefore, management does not intend to make a deposit into a residual receipts account. The construction payable will be paid in full as funds become available. Management has had discussions with their lender and intends to contact HUD directly to resolve this finding. Due to the necessary involvement of third parties to complete the corrective action, the Organization cannot determine an anticipated completion date.

Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: The Organization expanded the licensed bed size of the mortgaged property by 12 skilled nursing beds before obtaining an approval from HUD. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: Ron Wilson is responsible to ensure corrective actions are taken. Management has had multiple communications since May 2013 with their lender to resolve this finding, however it still remains unresolved. Management corresponded with the lender in March 2022 to resolve the finding, and an application to HUD for approval of the license change was filed. Management most recently corresponded with the lender in August 2024. Management is currently waiting on HUD’s review for completion. Due to the necessary involvement of third parties to complete the corrective action, the Organization cannot determine an anticipated completion date.

Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: The Organization reduced the licensed bed size of the mortgaged property by 6 skilled nursing beds before obtaining an approval from HUD.

Management is in the process of obtaining after-the-fact approval from HUD to resolve this finding by sending a letter of request to HUD with additional information on the bed change. Management most recently submitted additional information to the lender in September 2024. Due to the necessary involvement of third parties to complete the corrective action, the Organization cannot determine an anticipated completion date.

The management compnay acknowledges the important regulatory requirements for EIV documentation and timeliness required for generating reports for documentation and review within specified deadlines. To ensure ongoing compliance with these regulations, management will continue the training protocol that is in place for 2025 by reviewing and signing the EIV rules of Behavior and the EIV System Security Policy forms and completing the Cyber Awareness training annually. Management is working with on-site managers to provide additional back-up support from other departments during staffing shortages. Management also strengthened oversight procedures to ensure there are mandatory manager protocols that require an EIV report be generated and reviewed within 90 days for every new tenant move-in. For example, management implemented a checklist that the property manager must sign to confirm the EIV and other documents are properly reviewed and included in tenant files. For new tenants, the property manager will calendar the 90-day review to confirm receipt of EIV for inclusion in the tenant file. Management's housing manager and broker will also review each tenant file checklist for compliance to verify that all required EIV and other reports are in the tenant file. Additionally, management will conduct periodic reviews of files to ensure these procedures are properly followed. These additional checks and balances will ensure we are compliant with regulatory requirements.
