HOMECorp will make use of Yardi Breeze Premier Affordable Property Management CRM feature which allows both HOMECorp and our tenants to track their program compliance, maintenance requests, leases, lease renewals and annual recertifications. This information will be saved/stored in the cloud. This was implemented on 05/01/23 through coordination of the Yardi Implementation Team and the executive director. During 2021 – 2022, HOMECorp’s management team was significantly impacted by COVID and despite PPP loan retention efforts we lost all our staff and transitioned our HUD Certified Housing Counselor to Property Manager. During this time, the executive Director left as well as two (2) interim Executive Directors, who responsibilities were general management. They lacked the training and experience in Affordable Housing Management to help our property manager to maintain our program compliance procedures. Since the new Executive Director, onboarded in April 2023, the property manager has been trained on our policy and procedure for verifying tenant eligibility and calculating rent amounts in compliance with HOME program requirements, tenant intake, income verification, and rent calculations to ensure compliance with federal regulations. This is done in Yardi Affordable compliance worksheet. Quarterly periodic reviews and audits of tenant files and rent schedules are performed to ensure ongoing compliance.

During 2020 – 2022, HOMECorp’s management team was significantly impacted by COVID and despite PPP loan retention efforts we lost all our staff and transitioned our HUD Certified Housing Counselor to Property Manager. Due to staffing shortages and restricted to access to apartments as a result of health concerns, our property manager was unable to perform Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The new Executive Director has contracted with a General Contractor to help assist our property manager with Housing Quality Standards Inspections. These inspections are conducted annually with detailed inspection logs for HVAC, Painting, Fire Safety, and major unit renovations maintained and tracked in our digital database. These logs are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis to ensure timeliness in compliance and maintenance requests.

Western Wisconsin Workforce Development Board, Inc. did not submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. This delay occurred due to staffing transitions and limited fiscal capacity during the audit period, which resulted in challenges completing financial reporting and coordinating the final submission. To address the issue, WWWDB has hired a dedicated accountant and established clearer internal roles for managing the annual audit and Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission process. The organization has also created an internal audit calendar that outlines all required federal deadlines, including the due date for the data collection form and reporting package. Going forward, WWWDB will implement a formal checklist to ensure all components of the Single Audit are completed, reviewed, and submitted on time. WWWDB is also strengthening communication and coordination with its external auditors to ensure that all required documents are prepared in alignment with federal deadlines. Staff involved in the audit process will receive additional training on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission requirements. The Interim Executive Director and the Accountant will be responsible for monitoring compliance with all federal reporting deadlines. WWWDB anticipates full implementation of these corrective actions prior to the next reporting cycle to prevent recurrence of this issue.
