Corrective Action Plan Finding: 2022-002-SEMAP and Quality Control Needs Better Documentation Condition: (a)-for the move-ins tested, the move-ins were listed on the waiting list. However, none of the move-ins in our sample were on the top of the waiting list. Often, there were several applicants listed above the move-in participant., without an explanation. There should be notes for why the above applicants listed were not moved in before the one of our sample. Some of the typical reasons we often see is ?voucher expired?, ?no longer interested?, or ?unable to contact.? Most computerized waiting lists allow the Authority to list in ?notes? the reason why applicant was not moved in. Or, manual explanations can be added on the waiting list. The Admin Plan states there are no local preferences. So, giving points for preferences is not a reason that should be listed for early admittance. (b)-The waiting list was tested. However, per the federal regulations, half the sample should start with the waiting list and review the disposition. The other half should start with the current year admits and work back from the waiting list. It appears the sample was not pulled in the above manner. Regarding the definition of the total universe, this has never been exactly defined. If the Authority has received direction from HUD about the definition of the universe, the Authority should follow that direction. (c)-It appears the waiting list was not purged annually, in accordance with the Admin Plan. Corrective Action Planned: We will comply with the auditor?s recommendation.
