Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action The Organization concurred with the prior year (2022-004) and current year renumbered recommendation (2023-004), acknowledging that the unexpected resignation of the former independent auditor (January 2023), and the domino effect of a delay in securing a new independent auditor (April 2023) and related Organization and new auditor scheduling and staffing challenges, persists.

The Organization notes the corrective actions that have been implemented, regarding internal controls to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance with respect to the submission deadline of single audit reports and the Data Collection Form: A. Internal Controls in Practice Since Inception of New Auditor Engagement – April 2023 As noted in the prior year corrective action response, the Organization established internal compliance controls related to the timely submission of single audit reports. Such process and review controls are implemented by the director of administrative operations, chief of staff (since December 2024), and chief executive officer; and subsequently communicated to the Board finance sub-committee and full Board, including the documented Board action(s) taken (e.g., Board agenda, minutes). B. Financial Policies and Procedures – May 2025. By May 2025, the Organization completed financial policies related to: implementation of significant accounting policies, internal control environment, cash and banking, cash disbursements and check issuance, payroll processes, procure to pay and revenue recognition policies, processes and procedures. Note the internal control policy of the Organization documents process and review controls, which were already in practice, applying to the timely filing of single audit reports. The current practices of the Organization, to the present period of the report dated March 2, 2026, is consistent with established process and review controls for timely submission of single audit reports.

FINDING 2023-003 – Reporting: Significant Deficiency over Internal Controls over Compliance Condition/context – In a representative sample of monthly, quarterly, and annual reports due during the year ended December 31, 2023, auditors noted six of the six tested annual financial reports (SF-425) did not agree to the underlying profit and loss detail from the Organization’s General Ledger(s) for the related grants. In addition, the certified authorized official was not an employee of the Organization and there was a lack of documentation for how the certifying official was deemed appropriate. In the sample quarterly reports, the Organization had contradicting responses related to whether reimbursement requests reflect actual spending of designated Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) funding. Corrective Action Plan: • Internal Controls are being evaluated and addressed with the Board of Directors on clarity of Financial Policy and Procedures • Implement a formal reconciliation process to ensure all grant financial reports agree to the underlying general ledger and profit and loss statements. • Establish a documented policy identifying employees authorized to certify grant reports, ensuring these individuals are employees of the Organization and appropriately trained. • Conduct regular training and internal reviews to confirm consistent understanding of grant-specific reporting requirements, particularly those related to reimbursement-based funding such as SSVF. • Develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for reviewing and approving financial reports before submission to funders. Prior to sending to funder/portal. Must have reconciliation to numbers prior to next period reporting. • Site Review of reporting will have oversight of Financial Dept and reconciliation communication.

2023-006 Internal Controls and Compliance over Special Tests and Provisions – Reasonable Rental Rates (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to special tests and provisions – reasonable rental rates are consistently implemented including maintaining documentation of the verification of rental reasonableness in the program participant's file. Corrective Action: In response to the findings from the 2023 audit regarding the annual requirement for rent reasonableness, we developed the following action plan to ensure compliance with HUD regulations: 1. Annual Schedule: We established that annual rent reasonableness assessments for Temenos TCDC would be conducted each January, as required by HUD. This included comprehensive assessments for all scatter site properties. 2. Staff Reminders: A systematic reminder protocol was implemented for all staff involved in the rent reasonableness process. This included: 1. Calendar alerts 2. Email notifications 3. Regular team meetings to discuss timelines and responsibilities 3. Monitoring and Compliance: The Executive Director (ED) and Director of Operations closely monitored the compliance process to ensure assessments were completed accurately and on time. By implementing this action plan, Temenos TCDC aimed to address the 2023 audit findings effectively and ensure compliance with HUD's annual rent reasonableness requirements, including assessments for all TCDC site properties.

2023-005 Compliance and Internal Controls over Program Income (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to program income are consistently implemented. In addition, documentation should be included in each participant's files to support income calculations and the participant's share of rent payable to the program. Corrective Action: We would like to clarify our approach to income documentation within client files: 1. Income Documentation: While not all clients have income, we will ensure that clients without income provide a zero-income affidavit (also known as a non-income affidavit) to document their status. 2. Stabilized Case Management: Our current case managers have been with Temenos CDC (TCDC) for over a year, providing stability and experience in verifying client income. 3. Policy and Procedure Updates: Recent updates to our policies and procedures have introduced standardized forms that clearly differentiate between households with income and those without. 1. Households with income will include the mandatory TCDC income calculation sheet. 2. Households without income will be required to submit the zero-income affidavit. 4. File Checklists: We have created file checklists to ensure uniformity across all client files, enhancing our documentation process. 5. Annual Audits: All client files will be audited by a supervisor at least once a year to ensure compliance with our policies. 6. HMIS Training: Case managers are required to complete mandatory HMIS training, which supports effective compliance in file management and income verification. These measures are designed to strengthen our documentation practices and ensure compliance with audit requirements. Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – ED Ramona Edwards – Property Manager Wanda Williams – Case Manager Damita Gardner – Case Manager Terence Gomes – Case Manager Date to be Corrected: Mandatory Training Implemented 01/2025 Updated Document Requirements 11/2025
