Management Response: Management agrees with the finding. The reporting package and Data Collection Form were not submitted by the required deadline.

Program Name: Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Program (Housing Voucher Cluster) 14.EHV During the audit of the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025, testing of Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program activity identified that approximately $90,317 of EHV funds were used for activities outside of the EHV program - specifically, within the Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program - without a waiver or approval from HUD. EHV funds are restricted to activities allowable under the EHV program and are not subject to MTW funding fungibility; any application of MTW administrative flexibilities to EHV vouchers requires HUD approval before implementation. The Authority did not maintain adequate controls to ensure EHV funds were restricted to allowable EHV expenditures or to verify that appropriate HUD approval was obtained prior to using EHV funds for non-EHV activities. As a result, federal funds may have been expended for purposes not authorized under the EHV program, resulting in noncompliance with federal requirements and questioned costs of $90,317. This condition represents noncompliance and a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance. Questioned Costs: $90,317 The Authority concurs with the finding and questioned costs of $90,317. The Authority will strengthen controls over federal program expenditures to ensure EHV funds are used solely for allowable EHV activities; establish procedures to obtain and retain documentation of any HUD approvals or waivers before applying MTW flexibilities to EHV vouchers or using EHV funds outside of their intended purpose; work with HUD to resolve the questioned costs; and provide staff training on EHV program eligibility and allowable-cost requirements.Timeline for completion: 3 months

Program(s): Health Center Program Cluster Assistance Listing Number 93.224 / 93.527 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matter Condition: During our testing, we noted the following two instances of noncompliance in the sample of forty patient files tested: • In one patient file selected for testing, the sliding fee discount applied was incorrect due to the patient’s income not being entered correctly in Epic, resulting in an inaccurate FPL calculation and associated discount classification. • In one patient file selected for testing, based on support provided and the SFDS, an incorrect discount class was applied, and the County was not able to provide documentation demonstrating how annual income/household size supported the applied discount classification. Hennepin County’s Corrective Action Planned in Response to Finding: Develop a required form for all case aides to use and uniformly determine “annual income”. The EPIC Financial Assistance Module (FAM) recently implemented will maintain record of patient financial calculations / conversations and will include upload of the financial income form. Determination of the proper patient discount is automated in FAM and will reduce chance of incorrect rate setting.
