June 25, 2026 Dear Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit: DePelchin Children’s Center (DePelchin) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2025. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Doeren Mayhew Assurance, 2600 North Loop West, Suite 600, Houston, TX 77092. The finding discussed below from the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (the schedule) for the year ended December 31, 2025 is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Federal Award Finding 2025-001 Corrective Action Plan: DePelchin has implemented an internal review process whereby a grant specialist on the evaluation team conducts a monthly review of all enrollments to verify that eligibility requirements, including priority characteristics and service area criteria, have been met. Program staff, evaluation staff, and data team members have been provided additional training on the applicable eligibility requirements and documentation standards. Additionally, DePelchin has implemented an annual cross-functional review process involving program leadership, evaluation staff, and fiscal representatives to review eligibility requirements and key contract provisions prior to the start of each fiscal year. This review is intended to ensure that any changes in program requirements are identified, communicated, and incorporated into program operations in a timely manner. Based on these corrective actions and enhanced monitoring procedures, DePelchin believes the risk of similar eligibility documentation issues has been substantially mitigated. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Mr. Brian Pate, Senior VP and CFO Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action plan is anticipated to be completed by October 31, 2026. Respectfully submitted, Mr. Brian Pate Senior VP and CFO
