Management has thoroughly reviewed all the terms and conditions of its grant awards with internal management and externally with the Department of Health and Human Services and other regulatory bodies to ensure proper completion of subaward reports in FSRS, the SF429 and other required reporting. The above noted issue was discovered during the course of the 2024 audit. Upon discovery of the requirement, Management took the above noted steps to become compliant. The finding repeated in 2024 is solely due to the lack of clarity as to the timing of the reporting. Effective to date, all FSRS and applicable SF429 reports have been filed correctly and timely.

Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities – Assistance Listing No. 10.937 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement a compensating control to formally document their review and approval over payrates, payroll registers and time & effort studies. This review would include comparing the payroll processed and allocated to the grant to the approved time and effort documentation by funding source to ensure payroll costs are not being overcharged. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization’s practice is to require management approval before employee payrates are changed and before each payroll is initiated in the system. This practice was in place in 2024, but documentation of management approval had not been consistently maintained. The Organization will implement a process where any changes to an employee payrate is approved by a member of management via email prior to the change taking effect. Similarly, the Organization will implement a process where before payroll is processed each pay period, a member of management will review and document their approval of the payroll register via email or via the payroll system itself. In late 2024, the Organization began conducting quarterly time studies by position and adjusting allocations as time spent deviates from the most recent time study. These time studies are approved by the Organization’s management via email correspondence.

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.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

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.

Finding #2024-005 – Reporting – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Agriculture, Passed through The Houston Food Bank, Emergency Food Assistance Program – Food Commodities (Food Distribution Cluster), Assistance Listing #: 10.569, Contract Number: 30517, Contract Year: 01/01/24 – 12/31/24. Condition and context: The adjustment reported in Finding #2024-001 to update the value of food commodities increased the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) distributions by approximately $14,000. Additionally, the exceptions reported as finding #2024-001 included one understated receipt of 4,360 pounds TEFAP commodities. Recommendation: Same as finding #2024-001. Planned corrective action: An internal audit performed in January 2025 identified deficiencies in internal controls for the calendar year 2024, primarily due to elevated personnel turnover. In response, corrective measures were implemented in April 2025, including the establishment and documentation of formal internal controls and procedures. New management has assumed oversight responsibilities and is actively monitoring compliance to ensure sustained effectiveness of these controls. Policies and procedures over recognition of food commodities have been strengthened to ensure that the correct values for the year are used and that reconciliations are performed between the general ledger and independent worksheets used for tracking food commodities and inventory. Responsible officer: Virginia Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer. Estimated completion date: Completed as of April 30, 2025.

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.
