Finding 2024-004 – Significant Deficiency Award No.: Assistance List No. 15.555 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. Compliance Requirement: Reporting. Condition: The District had a required $15,000 local match for the Poso Bridge Replacement project. The District had eligible expenditures to satisfy the local match, but did not report the local match to the grantor (U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation) on the required SF-425 Federal Financial Reports. Criteria: The OMB’s approved Federal Financial Report (SF-425) states in line item instructions for the Federal Financial Report, “10i – Total Recipient Share Required: Enter the total required recipient share for reporting period specified in line 9. The required recipient share should include all matching and cost sharing provided by recipients and third-party providers to meet the level required by the Federal agency.” Cause: The SF-425 reports submitted by the District did not include the required recipient share on the report. Effect: The required recipient share was not properly reported to the grantor. Context: The District submitted the required semi-annual SF-425 Federal Financial Reports to the grantor and did not include the information for the required local share. Recommendation: We recommend management implement additional controls over the reporting process that ensures each report complies with the reporting requirements outlined in the SF-425 Federal Financial Reports. We further recommend the District establish a policy for internal review and sign-off for each submitted report to ensure clerical accuracy.

Pacific Union College transmits enrollment information to NSDLS through the National Student Clearinghouse (NCS), a third-party organization. PUC was faced with an unprecedented series of events related to data reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse between January and May 2024. During the month of February 2024, the College Registrar resigned without notice and the Director of Institutional Research tragically passed away within one ten day period. At that time the Director of College Admissions was asked to serve as the emergency Registrar and emergency IR Director. The above events led to some gaps in reporting to the NSC during the months noted above including some gaps in reporting that had occurred before the Registrar resigned. Communication with the NSC began immediately and during this time a series of reporting deadlines were “forgiven” by the NSC liaisons in support of PUC during a difficult series of one time events. Since the above dates PUC has been consistent and timely with all reporting to the NSC and the college anticipates that current staffing levels and cross training will prevent any such occurrences in the future.

Finding 2024-002 Federal Agency Name: Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Program Name: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Initial Fiscal Year Finding Occurred: 2024 Finding Summary: Metro West Housing Solutions did not determine rent reasonableness for 2 tenants during 2024. In addition, Metro West Housing Solutions did not follow their internal controls in place to determine rent reasonableness for 3 tenants, and internal controls in place did not prevent the missing determinations on the tenants noted. Corrective Action Plan: In response to the recent audit finding related to missing rent reasonableness determinations, Metro West Housing Solutions has implemented the following corrective actions and is strengthening internal controls to ensure compliance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR § 982.507. Actions implemented: • Discontinued using Nelrod rent reasonableness system, which we found to have inconsistent and outdated comparable rent data. MWHS has also discontinued using the “point system” as a control measure. • The recently implemented rent reasonableness control measure requires that the proposed rent for the assisted unit must be within 10% of the rents for comparable, unassisted units in the private market. A unit is considered rent reasonable if none of the selected comparable units are more than 10% below or above the proposed rent. • Yardi Rent Reasonableness module is now being used to determine reasonable rent in accordance with 24 CFR § 982.507(b). This system enables automated, consistent comparisons based on key HUD criteria. • Staff will conduct periodic Yardi Rent Reasonableness system reviews to confirm comparable market data is current and geographically appropriate • Enhanced compliance protocols have been implemented to ensure all staff are receiving frequent, standard training. In addition, individual file audits will be conducted more frequently. Responsible Individual(s): Director, Housing Choice Vouchers Anticipated Completion Date: September 2025

Financial Statement Findings None reported Federal Award Finding Finding 2024-001 Federal Agency Name: Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Program Name: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Finding Summary: Metro West Housing Solutions did not perform re-inspections of 17 failed inspections within the prescribed 30-day or 24-hour requirement during 2024. In addition, HAP was not properly reviewed for possible abatement for these tenants. Metro West Housing Solutions also did not perform inspections of 2 units within the biennial requirement. Corrective Action Plan: We have replaced the retired staff with the new titled positions Chief Housing Officer and Director of Housing Choice Vouchers. They are bringing new energy and ideas to the Housing team and have been actively seeking out and participating in 3rd party training opportunities. We have added two additional HCV Specialist Positions, and a Housing Eligibility Specialist to address workload concerns, and are now fully staffed. In January of 2025, we replaced the in-house Inspector. They have completed the HUD Exchange NSPIRE Inspector Training Program Certification. In addition, the new inspector was an internal candidate from our property management team who has been with MWHS for over a year and was eager to move into the new position. We believe by moving a proven employee into the role it will create the long-term stability that position requires. We have also completed a thorough review of the inspection process protocols and implemented a new tracking system to better track and schedule timely inspections. Responsible Individual(s): Director, Housing Choice Vouchers Anticipated Completion Date: September 2025
