Housing Voucher Cluster – Assistance Listing Numbers 14.871/14.879 Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority sets up a separate interest-bearing account and executes a depository agreement with their financial institution and HUD; alternatively, we recommend that the Authority obtains a waiver from this requirement if local regulation prohibits the Authority from following 24 CFR section 982.156.

In the meantime, SC Housing is continuing to work with the State Treasurer’s Office to identify a solution that would allow SC Housing to enter into a general depository agreement (GDA) that would provide third party rights to HUD. Modifications have been made to the state financial accounting sytems to track the funds in question separately, but we are trying to determine how, and even if, the funds can be housed in a separate bank account, while still adhering to state regulation.

Housing Voucher Cluster – Assistance Listing Numbers 14.871/14.879 Recommendation: We recommend the Authority implements controls to ensure that required HQS and QC inspections are completed timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Periodic HQS Inspections: Procedures are in place that require staff to generate a listing of all properties requiring inspection between ninety to one hundred and twenty days prior to the scheduled inspection date. Each unit under HAP contract must be inspected prior to execution of the initial lease and prior to execution of the HAPcontract and no less than biennially per our HUD-approved Administrative Plan (not annually) thereafter to confirm the unit continues to meet minimum HUD requirements. This report is generated a minimum of once monthly to assist with scheduling. The report and scheduling of inspections is monitored by the Director of Housing Choice Voucher Operations. Procedures have been updated to require that the Director of Rental Assistance and Compliance review all inspections completed after the date due and the accompanying explanation for the delay. Acceptable reasons for delay should be validated as beyond Authority control and documented accordingly. Management will track and analyze the data generated from the late inspections to identify patterns and implement additional corrective actions as warranted. QC Inspections: As of March 28, 2024, all 2024 fiscal year QC inspections have been completed. Ongoing, all required inspections will be completed no later than the end of each fiscal year. A status report documenting all efforts and results will be submitted monthly to the Director of Rental Assistance and Compliance.

Note: As of March 26, 2023, the HCVP is undergoing a minor departmental restructure, final effective date is undetermined at this time however, all parties are actively engaged in implementing the approved changes. One of the modifications includes the designation of one particular senior inspector as the official QC inspection team lead. The designation of this individual as the project lead will assure that QC inspections will be completed timely and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 2023-002: Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program CFDA 14.871 Condition: The Organization did not maintain documentation on file that a redetermination of reasonable rent was completed prior to the contract anniversary. We noted the rent was reasonable, however, there was no documentation of the Organization testing rent reasonableness in seven different tenant files. Criteria: The Organization must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to owner is a reasonable rent (initially and during the term of the housing assistance payment contract). 24 CFR 982.507. Cause: The Organization failed to maintain documentation in the tenant file. Effect: There is potential of renewing rent to owner agreements in excess of Fair Market Rent.

Recommendation: Management should perform a supervisory quality control over the HQS inspections. The inspection should follow the guidelines set forth in 24 CFR 985.2. Grantee Response: Management agrees with the finding and will complete the Quality Control Inspection going forward.

Louisiana Revised Statute 39:1702, for required expenditures in excess of $5,000 but less than $15,000, requires quotes from at least three vendors by telephone, or in writing.

For example, assume the Authority purchases several refrigerators that total to $4,500. If it reasonable to assume that the Authority will need more than another $500 of refrigerator purchases in the audit year, then three quotes are needed on the initial purchase.
