In response to Finding 2025-001 Internal Control over Allowable Costs identified in the fiscal year 2025 audit, the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita Medical Practice Association has modified the HOPW A, housing opportunities for persons with AIDS, procedures for documenting a participant's eligibility period, support allowance, and assistance provided for transitional, short-term, long-term, and placement assistance. As of January 2026, the program has modified the KCTH checklist for housing assistance/support services to include the date each assistance starts and will end. The total amount eligible for either 5 months or 21 weeks, dependent on the assistance type, will also be documented in the file. Request to process payments will include the number of weeks/months for the current request and previously utilized. In April of 2025 an additional FTE was hired to assist in verifying the calculations and support amounts for accuracy. Jamie Thorstenberg, Housing Program Coordinator, will serve as the contact person for this corrective action plan. We hope these changes will sufficiently address Finding 2025-001 Segregation of Duties / Review Procedures.
