Corrective Action Plan Provided by Management: Philadelphia Legal Assistance Center, Inc. (PLA) agrees with the finding. In November 2024, PLA hired a Legal Compliance Specialist whose full-time job is to review open and closed cases for compliance mistakes. The Legal Compliance Specialist did not have time to review every case closed in 2024. However, the Legal Compliance Specialist has been reviewing cases all year in 2025 and catching issues with missing citizenship attestations, which should reduce the chances of a case being reported to LSC without the documentation required by 45 C.F.R. 1626. In the summer of 2025, we required all case handlers to watch compliance training videos and answer multiple-choice questions to test their knowledge. The videos and questions included content related to 45 C.F.R. 1626. We plan to require staff to complete a similar training process in 2026, which will include additional content related to 45 C.F.R. 1626 compliance.

Beneficiary Reporting - Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that a responsible employee review and approve all HOME Program Housing Beneficiary Reports for accuracy prior to their submission to the applicable oversite agency. The review should contain procedures to match the income amounts per the HOME Program Housing Beneficiary Reports with the specific tenant income certification forms. We recommend that the reviewer document the date of the income certification form for each unit as well as the initials of the reviewer. Action Taken: In order to ensure the accuracy of the HOME Program Housing Beneficiary Reports, the reports are now routed to our director of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and Compliance, who reviews each report in detail. This review will include adding the documentation of the date of the specific tenant income certification forms that were utilized to verify the proper income amounts are reported and the initials and date of the review. This documentation will be reviewed by a Board Member and then the reports will be sent to either the City of Las Vegas or Clark County, as required. These procedures will be implemented in October 2025.

Choice Neighborhood Incentive Grants – Assistance Listing No. 14.889 Recommendation: We recommend that HABC staff review the controls in place to ensure that required FFATA reporting documentation is complete, accurate, and available for audit. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Public Law 109-282, known as the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), mandates the public disclosure of all entities and organizations receiving federal funds through a single accessible website. Any subcontract exceeding $30,000 must be reported by the prime recipient of federal funds. However, this reporting requirement does not apply to the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC), similar to the Moving to Work (MTW) block grants and their sub-recipient reporting to the Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership (BRHP). Both awards, the Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) grant awards are not available in the dropdown menu for fulfilling this monthly reporting requirement. This issue was noted because HABC could not demonstrate to the auditors that we had made several unsuccessful attempts to meet this requirement. In response, HABC Finance has established a monthly workflow process to regularly check the website to document the attempts. In addition, we are currently awaiting a formal response from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding the unavailability of these grants for sub-contracting monitoring & reporting on the SAMs website. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Anu Francis, Chief Financial Officer. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: 12/31/2025

Moving to Work Demonstration Program – Assistance Listing No 14.881 Recommendation: We recommend that HABC staff review the controls in place to ensure that required eligibility determination documentation is complete, accurate, and available for audit. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Housing Choice Voucher Program response: Out of 40 files reviewed, one exception was noted where recertification was not performed in a timely manner. HABC developed a strategy to verify that all existing recertifications are processed on time. The goal is to catch up by January 2026 and maintain timely processing going forward. HABC has updated its recertification tracking system as part of this plan. This includes measures for weekly progress monitoring, tracking upcoming deadlines, and implementing quality control to support the timely processing of recertifications. Housing Operations response: Housing Operations response: Out of 40 files reviewed, there were two exceptions noted: (1) Documentation was not provided to support the rent amount showing on the rent roll; in that instance, the transaction was corrected after the rent roll had been generated, and the rent amount billed was corrected. The resident was not responsible for paying an incorrect rent amount; Exception (#2) and (#3) are related to same file folder: (2) one requested resident file folder was not submitted for testing; and (3) Third party income verification documentation (including the resident’s signed personal declaration) could not be identified; the file folder was not properly scanned into the electronic document management system and select documents were not otherwise maintained. HABC’s Housing Operations Department will require that all transactions have two levels of review/approval to ensure complete and accurate documentation is scanned into the electronic document management system. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Stefanie Beale, Senior Manager, Continued Assistance & Site Based (HCVP), and Rhonda VanDyke, Senior Manager of Public Housing Administration (LIPH). Planned completion date for corrective action plan: 01/31/2026 for HCVP and 12/31/2025 for LIPH

The untimely completion of bank reconcilations during the audit period was due to changes in staffing and a transition to a new credit card provider, which created delays in the reconcilation process. To address this, the organization has implemented a calendar-based tracking system to ensure that all reconciliations are completed and documented promptly each month. In addition, reconcilation responsibilities have been reassigned and reinforced through updated financial procedures. Managment believes that these steps will ensure reconciliations are completed within the required timeframe moving forward and the risk of untimely reconciliations will be mitigated.

Re: Federal Awards Audit Finding - 2024-001 Improve Compliance with American Rescue Plan Reporting The Town agrees that expenditures were overstated on the Project and Expenditures Report for American Rescue Plan funds for the period ended March 31, 2024. Furthermore, the town acknowledges that effective internal controls over federal reporting could have prevented this error. Corrective Action Plan The Town will establish and maintain effective internal control over compliance with federal requirements that have a direct and material effect on a federal program. To accomplish this, the Town will implement the practice of dual control for federal grant expenditure reporting. One individual will prepare the expenditure report, while a separate, knowledgeable individual will review the report before it is submitted. To correct the overage reported on March 31, 2024, the Town accurately reported the year-to-date expenditures on the March 31, 2025 Project and Expenditures Report, per federal guidelines. In the future, the preparer of these reports will take more care to understand the compliance requirements of the Federal awarding agency.
