Views of Responsible Officials and Planned and Corrective Actions: As a result of prior audit finding, HHLI has instituted mandated training sessions with a required curriculum for a sliding fee scale. These training were conducted over a period which included competency testing and retraining if necessary. It is documented that we have had a high turnover of clerical staff during the past year. As a result, we had the task of training new clerical staff as we were onboarded. We understand this interrupted the continuity of learned processes for our clerical staff and thus the outlined process. As well, we have continued with our internal audit processes. We have identified an internal report through our data system that weekly provides information on variances of sliding fee scale processes. We have met internally and reviewed the current policy and training curriculum. We look to simplify the process for our clerical staff. We anticipate partnering with our EMR platform and standardizing the language for the sliding fee scale process. We want to leverage technology to support the procedural process for the sliding fee scale. We also will inform staff to document variances of findings. Please note that our patients were not negatively impacted or financially affected. Responsible Party: Stacey Harley, Chief Operating Officer, EMR administrator, and Site Leadership Estimated Time of Completion: September 30, 2024

In addition, as of June 30, 2023, the debt reserve fund was required to have a balance of $36,450, however, the balance was $36,041.

Finding 2023-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: Of a sample size of thirty-one (31) tenant files, the following information was unavailable for examination at the time of audit: Annual inspection reports were missing in one file. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions - housing quality standards type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The Authority will increase oversight in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed on a timely basis. Allison Landrum, Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2024.

Finding 2023-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Programs Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were failed inspections that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There are approximately 489 units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, two (2) failed inspections did not pass reinspection within 30 days. HAP was not abated nor was the tenant evicted. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. The Authority has not properly performed HQS inspections in compliance with program requirements following the expiration of HUD waivers as a result of insufficient staffing. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The Authority will increase oversight in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed on a timely basis. Allison Landrum, Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2024.

Finding 2023-001: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 1,782 units. Of a sample size of thirty-one (31) tenant files, the following was noted: • HUD 50058 Form was missing in 1 file • Verification of income and assets was missing in 1 file. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Allison Landrum, Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2024.

2023-003 Service Contract Prior Approval Federal Program: Legal Services Corporation (09-80523) grant period ending December 31, 2023 Additional Context: The security guard services have been provided under a long-standing relationship with the vendor. ICLS received prior approval from LSC in 2021 for one year of security services. The contract was cancelable and at prevailing vendor rates. Services were expanded into additional offices and an additional prior approval was requested. The request was not completed due to unanswered questions about the contract terms, and negotiation between ICLS and the vendor stalled. For the safety of employees, clients, and applicants, services continued during this time. As prior approval was no longer timely, ICLS began working with LSC on an allowability determination. Corrective Action: Management accepts the finding and will implement additional policies and procedures requiring periodic follow-up and review of outstanding Prior Approval or Allowability Determination requests to ensure the process is completed and the necessary approvals obtained. Currently, since all requests are submitted in GrantEase, management periodically reviews GrantEase for outstanding requests and provides follow-up. Allowability Determinations unfortunately end up at the bottom of the workflow in LSC’s review process. ICLS is working with LSC for a post “Allowability Determination” for the contract in question.

Documentation of review and approval should be retained in both cases. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned in response to finding: We will formalize policies and procedures around documenting review and approval for both use of grant funds, and related reporting.
