Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers & Mainstream Vouchers Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 & 14.879 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. 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 PHA 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 four (4) out of twenty-six (26) annual failed inspections selected for testing. Context: The Authority did not properly abate four (4) out of twenty-six (26) failed inspections selected for testing. 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). Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $12,804 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance with Notice PIH 2021-14(HA). Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs are in material non-compliance with the with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and has made arrangements to comply with the compliance requirements of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs. Jeremy White, HCV Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by March 31, 2024.

Recommendation We recommend the Department train its staff on the various aspects of financial grant management including the specific requirement of the grants for which the Department receives federal funding. We recommend that the reconciliation process over grants be well documented and closely monitored by management. We recommend the Department work closely with the FEMA to establish a going forward point for the reconciliation of grants and the Federal accounts receivable/payable balance. Management Response Corrective Action: We concur with this finding. In the last quarter of FY 2023, the Department focused on billing the U.S. government for goods and services that had already been paid for but never billed. As described in this finding, the Department reduced the deficit fund balance in grant fund 40280. More work is currently being performed to identify grants and projects that need to be billed. The Department is also working on those grants and projects already identified by completing the work needed to process federal grant billings. The completion of billing for all the old grants and projects is estimated to be completed by September 2024. Due Date of Completion: September 30, 2024 Responsible Person(s): Chief Financial Officer, Grants Unit Manager

The District agrees with the finding and the recommendations of the auditors. The District has taken a number of steps to improve internal controls and will finalize a comprehensive plan for robust internal controls reinstatement by January 10, 2024. Since the arrival of new Human Resources Leadership in the fall of 2022, steps have been taken to ensure that all employee contracts are kept on file in hard copy and digital. The missing files occurred during a transition period during the hire and rehire period of spring and summer 2022, before the arrival of new leadership. At this time, the Human Resources department ensures redundancy of storage of these contracts, with both paper copies and digital copies of all signed contracts kept in secure spaces. A staff member is charged to ensure these are all filed, and the Supervisor does an internal audit to ensure safekeeping. Going forward, the Human Resources Director will conduct quarterly checks, in May, August, November, and February to ensure all files are in place.

Management agres with the auditor's recommendation, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. In conscientious recognition of these challenges, the newly appointed CEO, who assumed leadership in 2023, has undertaken a comprehensive approach to rectify and fortify organizational processes. A structured framework, incorporating checks and balances, has been implemented. This framework mandates monthly reporting directly to the CEO, treasurer, and board. This restructuring aims to fortify our organizational resilience and ensure adherence to best practices. Management reassures our commitment to a progressive and responsible trajectory, leadership is unwaveringly confident that, with the ongoing training initiatives, installation of best practices, and stringent accountability requirements, segregation of duties will be established.
