2025-002 Mortgage Insurance Nursing Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities, Board and Care Homes, and Assisted Living Facilities – Assistance Listing No. 14.129 – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Recommendation: We recommend that management ensure fidelity bond insurance coverage is reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary to meet HUD requirements. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: Management is in agreement with the finding. Prior to affiliating with Silverstone Living, the Foundation had a separate endorsement included in their Property Coverage policy that included increased crime coverage to comply with HUD requirements. After transferring coverage to Silverstone Living’s policies, the increased crime coverage did not get transferred over to keep the Foundation in compliance. Action taken in response to finding: The Foundation is actively working with its insurance provider to increase coverage to the required level. The revised policy is expected to be in place by July 31, 2025.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Rannie Webster Foundation respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the period ended April 30, 2025. Audit period: September 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Findings and Questioned Costs – Major Federal Programs U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2025-001 Mortgage Insurance Nursing Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities, Board and Care Homes, and Assisted Living Facilities – Assistance Listing No. 14.129 – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Recommendation: CLA recommends that management ensures the regulatory agreement is being followed by all parties involved, unless otherwise instructed by a HUD representative. Any communication regarding changes to the regulatory agreement should come directly from HUD. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: Management is in agreement with the finding. They received miscommunication from Lument. Since the Foundation goes through Lument for HUD requests and approvals, management thought the communication they received from Lument was approved by HUD. As a result, management was under the impression that the residual receipts account was fully funded, and the deposit of surplus cash was not required. Action taken in response to finding: On July 18, 2025, management submitted a formal request to HUD to suspend deposits to the residual receipts fund. On July 21, 2025, HUD approved a suspension of deposits to the reserve as long as a balance of $640,856.81 is maintained.

Finding 2025-001 Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Deborah Vinnola, Registrar Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2025 Corrective Action Plan: The Office of the Registrar has put into place a more detailed corrective action plan regarding the finding of delayed enrollment and non-enrollment reporting to NSLDS through NSC. The Office of the Registrar has adjusted the Degree Verify submission from every 45 days to every 30 days to NSC to ensure graduation dates are reported in a more timely fashion for NSLDS within the required 60 days for financial aid. Starting Summer 2025, the Office of the Registrar has begun inactivating academic programs for students who have not had registration activity within the last two to three academic years to ensure that they are not reported as enrolled to NSC/NSLDS. NSC Enrollment Reporting will continue to be submitted every 30 days and the Office of the Registrar has worked to review the reporting criteria using terms and not semesters to better report active enrollment in current courses. The Ellucian Graduation Application form and process is in the final stages of testing which will eliminate completely the need to add a pseudo course with a future date after the student’s current program has been inactivated or graduated. The Office of the Registrar will be more proactive with the colleges for identifying students who have not graduated within the six year (undergraduate), four year (graduate) and certificate time frames by working with the appropriate dean’s offices. This should eliminate those students who have completed their coursework; close to completing their coursework but were never reviewed by their advisor/program for graduation. Since Regis uses the end date of the last course completed, the Office of the Registrar will work with advising units to review the lists to increase a better reporting of degree completion.

Action taken in response to finding: The student that was incorrectly coded as FWS funds, the funds were immediately reclassified as institutional aid. Since Cornish, did not draw down all FWS funding, it did not impact the G5 drawdown and no needs needed to be returned. Going forward, a higher-level review will be conducted for students with high SAI and low need to ensure that no need-based funds, if not eligible, are in the packaging. This review, will take place after the initial counselor review, but before a student can begin working in the FWS program. This third check will ensure that these types of files are again reviewed in a timely manner and no over awards will happen in the future.

Action Taken: The Houston Housing Authority agrees with this finding and related recommendations. During this audit, as these issues arose, notes were taken, evaluation of what had happened was made so that we could make the necessary adjustments to our procedures to prevent the continuation of these issues. In addition, in the previous year we hired a firm to come in and undertake a review of the finance department. The purpose of this review was to review our existing staffing levels, workloads, experience, etc., for purposes of proposing a reorganization of the finance department to address any deficiencies. We have reviewed the recommendations from this consultant and are in the process of implementing many of the recommended changes. There have been a number of staffing changes made during the year with the intent of improving the overall performance of the finance department. We are in the process of evaluating if additional staff are needed to expand the capacity of the Finance department. In November of 2024 the Houston Housing authority converted to a new accounting system. The Yardi system was implemented and we began processing all transactions on this new system. Unfortunately, there have been a significant amount of post implementation corrections and modifications that have had to be made and continue to occur. We are still undergoing these implementation and modification processes and as a result of this we continue to have to make adjusting entries to correct errors as they are discovered. To further complicate this system conversion there were a number of changes made to the management companies that we utilize to do our primary property level accounting. They have also been converting portions of their accounting systems to Yardi. Many of the same problems that have been encountered during our system conversion have also been encountered by the management companies. It is anticipated that most of these system conversion related issues will be resolved within the 2025 calendar year. The VP Fiscal and Business Operations as well as the Director of Finance are responsible for implementing the necessary process and procedural changes to eliminate the need for this type of finding for the 2024 audit.
