JCCA CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN March 23, 2026 Health Resources and Services Administration Jewish Child Care Association of New York (d/b/a JCCA) and Affiliated Organization respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CohnReznick LLP 1301 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10019 Audit Period: June 30, 2025 The findings from the June 30, 2025 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS Finding 2025-001 – Account Analyses MATERIAL WEAKNESS Recommendation We recommend that the Agency implement policies, procedures and controls to ensure that all accounting records are analyzed and reconciled on a monthly basis. Action Taken BTQ Financial is spearheading a comprehensive stabilization project to refine the chart of accounts and reconstruct historical tracking for the permanent endowment fund. BTQ already has in place a rigorous monthly closing schedule. This includes establishing automated reconciliation protocols for program service revenue, endowment tracking, and inter-company accounts to ensure GAAP compliance and timely board reporting. These policies, procedures, and controls to ensure that all accounting records are analyzed and reconciled on a monthly basis have already been incorporated into FY2026 monthly close process. Finding 2025-002 – Information Technology – General Control Activities SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Recommendation We recommend the Agency follow their policy for password age. We also recommend the Agency perform a risk assessment over the information technology environment. We recommend a written risk assessment and penetration test to be performed annually and vulnerability scans to be performed quarterly. Action Taken The Agency has configured NetSuite and Active Directory to programmatically enforce password aging and complexity requirements that strictly mirror our established IT Security Policy. Furthermore, we have moved beyond interview-based assessments to an annual cadence of formal, written risk assessments and penetration testing, supported by continuous monthly vulnerability monitoring through our Security Operation Center (SOC). An interview-based risk assessment was performed in Q3 2025, and monthly vulnerability scans are managed by Arctic Wolf, our Security Operation Center (SOC) service provider. To further strengthen our posture, we will initiate an annual cadence of formal external and internal penetration tests starting in Q2-Q3 2026. FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (Assistance Listing Number 93.676), FAIN # 90ZU0603, 90ZU0567, and 90ZU0536, for FY 2025 - Significant Deficiency Finding 2025-003 – Reporting Recommendation We recommend that management of the Agency implement procedures to track all federal reporting deadlines and ensure that reports are reviewed and submitted timely. This could include maintaining a centralized grant reporting calendar and implementing supervisory review prior to submission. Action Taken With the outsourcing to BTQ now fully operational, a centralized Federal Grant Reporting Calendar has been established. This calendar includes automated alerts for all 30/60/90-day deadlines. BTQ has also implemented a dual-level supervisory review process to ensure that all future reports are validated against the general ledger and submitted well in advance of federal deadlines. This protocol has been strictly applied to all federal reporting for the FY2026 cycle. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (Assistance Listing Number 93.676), FAIN # 90ZU0603, 90ZU0567, and 90ZU0536, for FY 2025 - Significant Deficiency Finding 2025-004 – Cash Management Recommendation We recommend that management of the Agency implement formal controls over the drawdown process that includes establishing procedures requiring documented supervisory review and approval of all drawdown requests and ensuring drawdowns are based on immediate cash needs so that federal funds are expended within a reasonable amount of time. Action Taken The Agency, in collaboration with BTQ Financial, has implemented a formalized "Drawdown Authorization Protocol." This new workflow improves upon the existing, and adds a standardized approach to every drawdown request, documented supporting schedules (showing immediate cash needs), and formal approval from BTQ’s PM, SVPF, VPF, or AVPF. This ensures a clear audit trail and prevents the accumulation of excess federal cash on hand. If the Health Resources and Services Administration has questions regarding this plan, please call Kenneth Shieh, Chief Administration Officer at (718) 747-4367. Sincerely yours, Kenneth Shieh, Chief Administrative Officer

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Name: HOME Investment Partnership Program Assistance Listing Number: 14.239 Pass-Through Agencies: City of Philadelphia, Redevelopment Authority: Venango – Loan Thompson Street – Loan County of Schuylkill - Home Investment Partnerships and Housing Trust Funds Programs: Fountain Springs - Loan Mayor and City of Baltimore: Baltimore Housing - Park Heights Women and Children - Loan Type of Finding: - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance - Other Matters Condition: As part of the eligibility requirement for the HOME Investment Partnership program, we are required to review files of client residents who were provided residential drug and alcohol treatment services at the Organization’s locations in Venango (Re-Entry), Fountain Springs, Thompson Street, and Park Heights Women and Children. We sampled a total of 40 resident clients at these four locations covered by HOME loans and requested documentation within client resident files, including proof of residency, proof of income (low income or homeless). Of 40 resident client files reviewed, management could not provide proof of income or residency status for 16 clients, or policies and procedures manuals for 22 clients. Recommendation: We recommend that management adopt and implement formal policies and procedures to ensure compliance with HOME eligibility requirements. Such policies and procedures should include clear communication of compliance requirements between staff and locations, standardized documentation and processes for determining and verifying income eligibility during intake, and procedures for the redetermination of income eligibility for residential clients residing at a location for more than one year. Repeat Finding: 2024-001 Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding Management acknowledges the finding and continues to strengthen internal controls related to HOME program compliance, including eligibility documentation and file retention practices across all residential program locations. Management agrees that consistent documentation of eligibility, including proof of income and residency status (as applicable under HOME requirements), is critical. We are currently reviewing and enhancing intake procedures, documentation standards, and internal monitoring processes to ensure all required eligibility documentation is properly obtained, maintained, and uniformly applied across all locations. Action taken in response to finding: In response to the recommendation, management will develop and implement formalized policies and procedures to strengthen compliance with HOME requirements. These will include standardized guidance for eligibility determination at intake, clear documentation requirements across all sites, and procedures for ongoing eligibility review for clients residing in programs beyond one year. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Dr. Deja Gilbert, PhD, MDA, FACHE, LPC, LMHC, President and CEO dgilbert@gaudenzia.org Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2026

Recommendation: We recommend the College evaluate its procedures around packaging and awarding students to ensure loan eligibility is reassessed prior to disbursement. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: 􀁸 The College determined that this issue resulted from the absence of a consistent process to identify and reassess students whose transfer credits were added or revised after initial financial aid packaging, potentially affecting grade level classification and Direct Loan eligibility. 􀁸 To correct this, the College will revise its packaging procedures to require a mandatory review of Direct Loan eligibility whenever transfer credits are added or updated. The Financial Aid Office will work in coordination with the IT Department and the Registrar’s Office to develop automated reports or system alerts that flag students with transfer credit changes occurring after packaging. These reports will be reviewed regularly, and any impacted student records will be reassessed and updated as necessary prior to disbursement. 􀁸 In addition, the College will strengthen oversight by implementing monitoring controls such as requirements. These measures are intended to prevent future instances of under-awarding and to enhance internal controls within the financial aid packaging and awarding process. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Stephanie Liebowitz, Director of Financial Aid Planned completion date for corrective action plan: April 15, 2026 – Procedures will be in place for the awards cycle of the incoming 2026-2027 class.

Finding Number: 2025-030 ALN Number(s) and Program Title(s): 93.778 – Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid Cluster) Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. DCO will continue periodic matching and review of state employees with public assistance programs administered by the agency. Appropriate disciplinary action will continue to be taken by the agency on its own employees based on the outcome of case reviews. The agency will explore the addition of systematic data matching to ensure that salaries of state employees are properly reflected in the eligibility determination and benefit calculation for public assistance benefits. For additional controls, the agency has incorporated a notice into the hiring process regarding reporting all changes in household circumstance and annual communications to all staff regarding their reporting obligations.

Finding Number: 2025-029 ALN Number(s) and Program Title(s): 93.778 – Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid Cluster) Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. For cases that included a date of death in MMIS, most deficiencies can be attributed to case worker error which is being addressed through continued worker education and training. A small number of deficiencies can be attributed to a variety of system errors which are in the process of being corrected. Recoupments of overpayments are also being processed. For cases with no date of death in MMIS, almost half were the result of the eligibility system not receiving the date of death via the monthly match to the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) vital records data. DHS will work with ADH to identity date of death for those cases and identify any corrective action needed to the match process. The remaining deficiencies can be attributed to a variety of system errors which are in the process of being corrected and worker errors which is being addressed through worker education and training. Recoupments will be processed through both automatic reconciliation and manual processes.

Finding Number: 2025-028 ALN Number(s) and Program Title(s): 93.778 – Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid Cluster) Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: DHS concurs with this finding. For juveniles with SSI Medicaid, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for suspending Medicaid coverage. All incarcerations for cases noted in the findings involving SSI Medicaid, which make up 95% of the total questioned costs for this finding, were reported timely to SSA by the agency. All payments noted as questioned costs were capitated payments which will be recouped through an automatic reconciliation process.

Finding Number: 2025-014 ALN Number(s) and Program Title(s): 21.029 – Coronavirus Capital Project Funds Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: ASBO acknowledges the auditor’s observation regarding the inclusion of required matching amounts in the executed grant agreements. The Capital Projects Fund (CPF) program does not require cost sharing or matching funds under federal guidance. However, the Arkansas State Broadband Office (ASBO) incorporated a minimum match expectation as part of its state-level program design and evaluation process. Proposed match commitments were submitted by applicants and evaluated during the award process. ASBO recognizes that the final required match amount was not expressly stated in the executed grant agreement. While match expectations were documented during application review and award evaluation, ASBO agrees that explicitly including the finalized match requirement in the executed agreement would provide greater clarity and reduce ambiguity. ASBO notes that no questioned costs were identified in connection with this finding. ASBO will update its grant agreement templates to ensure that any state-imposed matching requirements are explicitly incorporated into the final executed agreement. This enhancement will ensure alignment between program evaluation criteria and formal award documentation going forward.

PRMP partially concurs with this finding and emphasizes that claims submitted to the federal government must accurately distinguish eligibility categories to ensure the appropriate federal matching percentage is applied. A corrective action plan has already been implemented as part of the Phase 3 rollout of the MMIS project, initiated in May 2024. This phase focuses on establishing a comprehensive Financial Management solution within PRMMIS. The enhanced system capabilities support the calculation, production, and distribution of capitation and supplemental payments to carriers, including automated adjustments and reconciliations. Stabilization activities have also included the conversion and reconciliation of legacy system data to facilitate a seamless transition.

Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: For sixteen out of forty students tested who had enrollment changes at the University, the student’s status effective dates at the campus level and program level were not reported to the NSLDS timely. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: We agree with the finding. The delays in reporting were identified beginning in December 2024 with the hire of a new registrar and since that time we have caught up with reporting requirements are now timely. We have also increased our cross-training efforts in the department, training multiple individuals on NSC reporting procedures, in order to ensure that if turnover were to occur again in the future there are other individuals who can perform the required functions.

Condition: During eligibility testing of loan disbursements under the RMAP program, one of eight disbursements tested was made to a borrower located outside of the eligible area. The loan was disbursed in fiscal year 2025 for $10,000. Planned Corrective Action: The ECDI processing and loan allocation teams will not exclusively leverage it’s CRM system for determining USDA eligibility based on borrower/business address. The team will use the USDA website in determining eligibility prior to allocating USDA funds to a project. Related to the specific ineligible $10,000 USDA loan, the team has communicated to its USDA partner to make them aware of this specific issue and ECDI is in the process of removing USDA funds and replacing with another source.

Condition: During our testing of allocated salaries and wages, we identified errors in how employee time was allocated to the program, and salaries and wages allocated to the program in excess of the Executive Level II Salary maximum. One employee in each program, 59.046 and 93.570, had an inappropriate wage rate applied to allocated time to the program. Additionally, for the 59.046 program only, one employee had compensation levels allocated to the program in excess of the Executive Level II Salary maximum amount in effect for the respective period. Planned Corrective Action: ECDI will put additional steps in place related to the Payroll Review process to ensure reconciliation of payroll charges to actual time records and rates. The organization will modify its calculations to ensure that pay rates are reflective of the timeframe in question (not for periods before or after). ECDI will update its calculations to include thresholds for Executive pay so they are not entered more than approved rates. The company is also exploring technology enhancements so that information from ECDI’s Payroll system flows directly into ECDI’s Accounting system to limit the chance of errors during extraction from Payroll system and uploading into Accounting system.

Management concurs with the finding. After the Fiscal Year 2024 monitoring finding last year, the Department developed a comprehensive certification for property owners to complete and a list of required files to be provided to the County on an annual basis. In 2025, Department staff confirmed with the County’s HUD representative that the new monitoring documents and plan would satisfy the HUD’s monitoring requirements. Staff are providing technical assistance to the property owners, as preliminary records reviewed indicate all units are still maintained as affordable, but the owners’ provision of all documentation is still in progress. The physical inspections of the property exteriors in October 2025 indicated broadly that housing quality standards are still being maintained. The Department continues to seek out training for staff on HOME requirements and will continue efforts to update monitoring policies and procedures, as necessary, to address all current regulatory requirements. The Department’s multifamily monitoring for all projects in the HOME period of affordability for calendar years through 2024 will be completed prior to August 30, 2026. Although not due in Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Department is moving forward with monitoring for calendar year 2025, which is anticipated to be completed timely, prior to December 31, 2026. As part of the monitoring process, the Department will collect or create documents demonstrating a property’s annual or semi-annual (as relevant) compliance with HOME requirements, review for adherence to regulations, draft and issue a report of findings, and require owners of projects with deficiencies to prepare and submit a satisfactory corrective action plan. The Department will continue to follow up regularly with property owners until all corrective actions are implemented. Staff’s recommendation to facilitate ongoing, decades-long monitoring requirements include the creation of a master omnibus amendment to all existing property agreements to ensure concrete requirements for recordkeeping and monitoring are clearly outlined and accompanied by explicit deadlines. This amendment will be pursued as time permits and after lessons learned from current monitoring activities are integrated into the monitoring process.

As a corrective action, the University will implement the following: Assignment of a dedicated resource: A person will be appointed as responsible for the FEMA project to oversee the functioning of the control, ensuring the proper collection and monitoring of the information (“FEMA Coordinator”). We are already coordinating with the Office of the President for the corresponding approval of the new structure. Inclusion of obligated and incurred expenditures related to the Department of Homeland Security/FEMA in the corresponding SEFA report for each year: We have instructed the Institutional Director of the Office of Accounting for External Programs to notify the FEMA Coordinator, the Associate VP of Management and Budget, the Associate VP of Accounting and Finance and the VP of Management, Finance and Systemic Services when the automated SEFA report is ready, so that the FEMA Coordinator can provide her all the information to be included for the Department of Homeland Security/FEMA. The Institutional Director will include this information and send the amended SEFA to the four persons mentioned above. Implementation timeline: We estimate that these actions will be fully operational by July 1, 2026. We are committed to closely monitoring these measures and ensuring their successful implementation, guaranteeing compliance with internal control standards.

15.047 Indian Education Facilities, Operations, and Maintenance – Assistance Listing No. Recommendation: To implement a stronger system of review for ensuring that all changes in employee payroll are properly implemented and approved. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Human Resources (HR) is working with Finance to process retroactive compensation for the full underpaid amount owed. Associated DRS contributions will also be reviewed and corrected to ensure full compliance. Moving forward, HR will implement an enhanced verification control at the beginning of each fiscal year.
