Finding 2024-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Reasonable Rent Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Reasonable Rent. The Authority must do the following: The Authority must determine that the rent to owner is reasonable at the time of initial leasing. Also, the Authority must determine reasonable rent during the term of the contract (a) before any increase in the rent to owner, and (b) at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 5 percent decrease in the published Fair Market Rent in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The Authority must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to owner is a reasonable rent (initially and during the term of the HAP contract) (24 CFR sections 982.4, 982.54(d)(15), 982.158(f)(7), and 982.507). Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and discussion with management, there were newly leased units for which the evaluation of rent reasonableness was not performed. Context: There were approximately 6 newly leased units. Of a sample size of one (1) newly leased unit, one (1) unit's documentation of reasonable rent was not available for examination. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $8,661 Findings – Federal Award Program Audit (continued) Finding 2024-004 (continued) Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures related to reasonable rent 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 material weakness in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and will implement internal control procedures related to reasonable rent that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Ivy Melendez, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by September 30, 2025.

Finding 2024-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Public and Indian Housing Program, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.850, 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Depository Agreements Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: PHAs are required to enter into depository agreements with their financial institution using the HUD-51999 (OMB No. 2577-0075) or a form required by HUD in the ACC. The agreements serve as safe guards for Federal funds and provide third-party rights to HUD (Section 9 of the ACC). Condition: Based on inspection of files and discussions with management, it was determined that depository agreements were not on file during the time of audit. Context: The Authority did not have depository agreements with their financial institutions on file during the time of audit. We were unable to verify the existence of depository agreements and unable to determine if the Authority met the terms of the agreements. Findings – Federal Award Program Audit (continued) Finding 2024-002 (continued) Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance for the special tests and provision type of compliance related to depository agreements. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls for their partnered management company that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Public and Indian Housing Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to depository agreements. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority properly file HUD-51999 forms in accordance with HUD guidelines. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and will properly file HUD-51999 forms in accordance with HUD guidelines. Ivy Melendez, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by September 30, 2025.

Management’s Corrective Action Plan Program Name: Name of Federal Program or Cluster CFDA Number:14.871 2023-002: Interprogram Due To/Due From Activities Criteria: According to PHA Accounting Brief #14, Due To/Due From relationships should not be reported under accrual accounting simply from the result of a PHA using a common checking or working capital account. Because of the basic nature of most Federal and state programs, resources from one program cannot be used to support the cost of another program. HUD views Due To’s and Due From’s reported in a PHA ‘s Federal programs as possible indicators of noncompliance. Condition: The Authority has inter-fund receivables and payables that have not been repaid as of fiscal year-end. This results in certain programs having a negative cash balance as of the fiscal year end. Context: The Authority’s reported a ($33,461 in HCV program and $154,268 Mainstream) interfund payable due to Business Skill Center (nonfederal program ) which is a significant red flag for HUD reviewers. Management Response: The $33,461 due from the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program to Business Skill Center represents the use of non-federal funds to cover HCV’s monthly payroll and benefit expenses, which typically range from $30,000 to $35,000. These expenses are temporarily paid by Business Skill Center and reimbursed within 30 days upon receipt of HCV Administrative Fee funding from HUD. The $154,268 due from the Mainstream program to Business Skill Center non-federal funds resulted from a funding shortfall that occurred during the transition of Mainstream Vouchers from the Dania Housing Authority to the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority. During this period, the Deerfield Beach Housing Authority had to apply for and await the disbursement of Mainstream Shortfall funds from HUD. As these funds were received over a period of 3 to 4 months, the Business Skill Center covered costs using non-federal funds, which were later reimbursed.

Context: The Authority’s unaudited FDS submission was due on December 15th 2024. The Authority did not submit the submission until February 2025. Management Response: A compliance calendar has been implemented and is maintained by both the Finance Director and Executive Director to track HUD and REAC deadlines. The unaudited FDS will be finalized and submitted no later than 5 business days prior to the formal due date, allowing sufficient buffer time. Oversight and reminders are issued monthly by the Chief Financial Officer to ensure proper tracking and timely filing.

Finding Number: 2024-004 Title: Incomplete Tenant File Documentation and Disbursement Variances for MTW Housing Assistance Payments Program Name: Moving to Work Demonstration Program ALN: 14.881 Description: A review of tenant files and disbursement activity under the Moving to Work (MTW) Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) program identified multiple deficiencies in documentation and compliance. For six out of the sixteen tenants tested, the Authority was unable to provide the tenant file for review. Among the files that were available, several lacked required documentations for the required period to support continued occupancy, rent adjustments, reexaminations, income verification, and inspections. Additionally, variances were noted between the amounts reported on HUD Form 50058 and the actual HAP/UAP disbursements made. Planned Corrective Action: Fiscal Year 2024 was a year marked by personnel turnover in key administrative, accounting, and human resources positions. The Authority will work to implement a process to improve tenant file management, ensure complete documentation, and address disbursement variances.

Title: Missing Required Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program Documentation Program Name: Moving to Work Program ALN: 14.881 Description: During our review of the Authority's administration of the MTW Program, the Authority was unable to provide several critical documents required to support its eligibility and compliance under the MTW framework: 1. The Authority did not provide a copy of its Annual Contributions Contract (ACC), which serves as the foundational agreement between the Authority and HUD for the receipt and use of federal funds. 2. The Authority failed to provide a signed MTW Certification of Compliance for the most recent fiscal year, which affirms board approval of the MTW Plan and Report and verifies the Authority's adherence to MTW statutory objectives and HUD program requirements. 3. The Authority did not provide the required supplement to the annual MTW Plan, which outlines planned uses of MTW funds and activities for the fiscal year. 4. The Authority also failed to provide the HUD-issued approval letter for the supplement to the annual MTW Plan, which is necessary to validate HU D's acceptance of the Authority's proposed activities.Planned Corrective Action: Fiscal Year 2024 was a year marked by personnel turnover in key administrative, accounting, and human resources positions. The Authority will work to locate and archive the ACC, required supplement to the annual MTW Plan, the HUD issued approval letter for the supplement to the annual MTW Plan, and to complete the MTW Certification of Compliance.

The Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) concurs that the subaward reporting required by FFATA is not currently complete and up to date in sam.gov website. Due to the transition to sam.gov and the FSRS system being terminated, the record of prior FFATA reports submitted that encountered errors and were left in partially complete status is no longer retrievable from the FSRS system to demonstrate that the report had been submitted. HSEMA is already in the process of updating processes and procedures to gather and submit the FFATA report in the new sam.gov system. HSEMA has already developed and tested a new approach to directly updating sam.gov through its API portal. We had previously noted the gaps in the data brought over from FSRS to sam.gov and understood that these gaps required corrective action. HSEMA will compare the sam.gov data to our current subawards lists and will update sam.gov in addition to reporting on new subawards as they are issued. We will also review sam.gov data for older closed grants to see if any of those need to be updated as well.

The Department of Health (DC Health) concurs with the finding. The HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD and TB Administration (HAHSTA) has done a preliminary assessment of the root cause and conditions that created the exceptions noted in the testing of eligibility samples. DC Health agrees that the infrequency of reviews and lack of documented secondary supervisory reviews are contributing factors. DC Health will develop and implement a plan to build a supervisory-tier of eligibility review into the operations of the ADAP program and to standardize an internal audit process. The ADAP program will target a random sampling of 20% of applications submitted weekly to test compliance with eligibility criteria and documentation of eligibility reviews and decisions, including supervisory sign-off. Peer and supervisory audits will follow a protocol to validate application decisions, standardize the audit process and ensure the audits are documented appropriately. Any findings will be documented in the Ramsell Eligibility System. Job aides and training will be provided to eligibility specialists.

The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) concurs with the findings. The licensure issue involved a provider who was in process of permanently closing her home as a foster care provider (and the existing license expired in the meantime), and the other item involved a brief lapse in the child protection register check. Corrective action will involve improved automation within the claiming process. CFSA also acknowledges that the third bullet regarding the legibility of the background criminal check document for the “other adult in the home” is an internal control issue for which there are no questioned costs. Corrective action will occur within STAAND implementation as key system edits in the foster care maintenance claim report will account for lapsing/expiring (according to District standards) licensure documentation.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings that appropriate actions were taken to approve the case, however, the reviewing supervisor failed to update the Supervisory Case Review form with 1) date the discussion was held with the eligibility worker, the date the eligibility worker made corrections, and the date the eligibility worker review was completed and 2) failed to enter comments on “No” responses on various questions.

The Department of Human Services (DHS)/ Economic Security Administration (ESA) agree with the auditor’s findings regarding the lack of completion of requests from the Child Support Enforcement (CSE) to the TANF program to impose a child support on parents who have not cooperated with Child Support compliance requirements. The incomplete work was due to staff transitions occurring during the review period which impacted the oversight and productivity of DHS/ESA staff working on the child support sanction process. The following corrective action plan has been developed by DHS/ESA to address the findings. These controls would provide DHS/ESA with the ability to identify errors, promote accountability, and ensure that actions are carried out timely and accurately. The work will be performed by staff working in the Division of Customer, Workforce Employment and Training (DCWET). The DCWET leadership will: • Review the procedures document to ensure the process of imposing a child support sanction, and lifting a child support sanction, is clear and updated. • Conduct training sessions for the staff to ensure they understand the procedures and expectations to complete the required tasks. • Establish deadlines for completion of tasks and communicate this to staff verbally and in writing. • Implement an internal tracking system to ensure completion of all required tasks in a timely and accurate manner. This will include a process to re-assign work when staff are on leave for two or more days. • Increase supervision and monitoring of employees responsible for completing the requests from the Office of the Attorney General OAG by conducting scheduled follow-up reviews to monitor progress of work and provide guidance to staff, as needed.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings and will work with the DCAS and DICM teams to mitigate the causes of the findings. These findings are mostly residual issues with the tables in DHS/ESA DCAS system. This requires collaboration efforts between multiple units within DHS/ ESA that include DCWET, DPO, and DICM. ESA needs to enhance DCAS to tie the income evidence in the income support case to the employment evidence in the person record to allow the employment hours to end date once the income evidence is end dated. This action requires training (re-training) all DPO SSR on the DCAS screens which require action to confirm employment. This means that the DPO should dedicate resources to providing adequate training to SSRs involved in updating customers’ employment information in DCAS. However, this would be a short-term solution, it will go a long way to resolve some of the discrepancies in reported work hours that are being transmitted to Q5i. The Office of Performance Monitoring (OPM) has a process in place to monitor and confirm the hours reported from CATCH. OPM monitors will randomly generate forty (40) sample cases from Q5i, review them and if they find any discrepancies they would refer them to either OWO, DPO, or TEP Providers for resolution. When OPM conducts their review of DCAS hours, and identifies income and hour differences, the Department of Program Operations (DPO) is informed and/or the Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) requesting their assistance with resolving the discrepancy. OPM also will provide adequate training for Monitors involved in the auditing process in CATCH to ensure participation hours are properly audited. The Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) conducts outreach to customers come in for assessment and assignment to a TEP Providers. This process would eliminate instances where hours found in the DCAS system are unknown to the CATCH system. The long-term resolution of reported work hours discrepancies between DCAS and Q5i requires DICM to enhance DCAS to tie the income evidence in the income support case to the employment evidence in the person record to allow the employment hours to end date once the income evidence is end dated. This would be automating the process by connecting the 2-step process into one task. This automation process would be a permanent solution to curbing stale and unsubstantiated hours from migrating to Q5i. DCWET will work with DICM to request that a JIRA ticket be created to enhance DCAS to tie the income evidence in the income support case to the employment evidence in the person record to allow the employment hours to end date once the income evidence is end dated. This process is estimated to take three (3) months to complete. DCWET will work with DPO to ensure that all DPO staff are trained on the DCAS screens which require action to confirm employment. The training will last up to six (6) months. Contact: Christian Okonkwo, Program Manager, DCWET-OPM Estimated Completion Date: September 30, 2026 See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table
