Action Taken: The Department has taken immediate corrective action to address the deficiencies identified in the files audited. All noted discrepancies are being reviewed and are in the process of being corrected, and revised Form HUD-50058 submissions will be completed and transmitted, where required. The Department maintains established procedures, systems, and internal controls designed to support compliance with applicable HUD requirements. To further strengthen these controls, enhancements are currently underway to improve the timeliness of processing activities, ensure accurate and thorough income verification, and enforce proper application of abatements. Additionally, the Department is implementing more robust quality control (QC) measures to verify that all required documentation is consistently obtained, reviewed, and retained. To reinforce oversight, the Department is expanding its existing QC and Housing and Community Development (HCD) review processes. This includes the implementation of a front-line supervisory review of a representative sample of recertifications prior to the submission of Form HUD-50058. This added layer of review is intended to proactively identify and correct potential errors, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and full regulatory compliance. If the Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this plan, please call Nathan Kogon, Director at (786) 469-4120. The process to start correcting the issue discussed above is currently underway, and significant progress is expected for the next fiscal year end audit.

Condition Found: The Organization did not have adequately designed internal controls to ensure compliance with Federal suspension and debarment requirements. Specifically, the Organization did not perform SAM.gov exclusion screenings for all employees and contractors. SAM.gov checks were performed only for certain clinical providers and were aligned with the Organization’s credentialing cycle (approximately every two years), rather than being performed for all applicable individuals upon hire and/or on a recurring basis. As a result, the Organization’s exclusion screening process was not consistently applied to all individuals whose compensation is charged, in whole or in part, to Federal awards. Individual(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Heidi Melbostad, Chief Executive Officer and Compliance Officer (process design and oversight). Nancy Kusner, Human Resources Director (screening execution and documentation). Planned Corrective Action: This finding has been remediated. The Organization has implemented exclusion screening covering all employees, contractors, and Board members whose compensation may be charged, in whole or in part, to Federal awards. Screening is performed against both the SAM.gov Exclusions List and the Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) at the time of hire or engagement and on a recurring monthly basis. The Organization built this control in phases, conducting screening runs on 2026-04-22 and 2026-05-09 as it expanded coverage and refined the process, and completing its first comprehensive entity-wide screening, covering all current staff and Board members and including review of known names and aliases against the current roster, on 2026-06-01, with all individuals returning clear results. The Organization retains documented evidence of each screening, including the roster comparison and alias check, to support compliance with 2 CFR 200.214. Management is finalizing a written protocol documenting these steps to ensure the control is sustained. Anticipated Completion Date: Control built in phases over April and May 2026 (screening runs 2026-04-22 and 2026-05-09); first comprehensive entity-wide screening completed 2026-06-01, all results clear. SAM.gov and LEIE screening of all staff, contractors, and Board members continues on a recurring monthly basis. Written protocol documenting the control to be finalized by 2026-06-30.

Condition Found: Through testing a statistically valid sample of 25 individual patient balances, we noted four instances in which the sliding fee discount applied was inconsistent with the Organization’s policy. Three patients did not receive the appropriate discount and one patient received a discount but did not have an active sliding fee application for the service date the sliding fee discount was applied. Individual(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Lori Slicer, Revenue Cycle Manager (organization-wide sliding fee discount monitoring procedure across the medical and dental service lines). Crystal Kinsman, Dental Practice Manager (dental-specific monitoring, with increased sampling of the Dental system given its higher level of manual processing). Heidi Melbostad, Chief Executive Officer and Compliance Officer (sliding fee discount schedule redesign and oversight). Planned Corrective Action: Management is addressing this finding through both an immediate interim action and a comprehensive redesign, together with an ongoing monitoring control. Interim action (completed): the Board approved revised nominal fee levels on 2026-04-27, effective 2026-04-28, establishing Category A as the most favorable discount category, consistent with Section 330(k)(3)(G) of the Public Health Service Act. Full corrective action: management will complete a comprehensive redesign of the Sliding Fee Discount Program, including separate schedules for the medical and dental service lines, data-driven evaluation of tier thresholds and fee levels, and replacement of the percentage-based payment option with a clearer flat-fee structure, for Board review and approval. Ongoing monitoring control: management will establish a documented monitoring procedure over sliding fee discount application across both the medical and dental service lines, including a defined monthly sample drawn from each service line with increased sampling of the Dental system given its higher level of manual processing, verification that an active sliding fee application is on file for each service date, documented review results, timely correction of identified errors, and supervisory sign-off, with error rates reviewed at least quarterly. Anticipated Completion Date: Interim nominal fee revision effective 2026-04-28 (completed). Comprehensive Sliding Fee Discount Program redesign and ongoing monitoring procedure to be Board-approved and operational by 2026-08-24.

Finding 2025-002 – Significant Deficiency Award No.: 21.027 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Treasury, Passed-through the County of Butte, Pass-through Grantor’s Number X25534. Compliance Requirement: Procurement, Suspension and Debarment. Condition: The Agency’s procurement policy does not adequately document procurement requirements under the Uniform Guidance or contract provisions under Appendix II to Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance. Criteria: Uniform Guidance, Section 200.318(a) indicates “the recipient or subrecipient must maintain and use documenting procedures for procurement transactions under a Federal award or subaward, including for acquisition of property or services. These documented procurement procedures must be consistent with State, local, and tribal laws and regulations and the standards identified in §§ 200.317 through 200.327”. Required contracting provisions are documented in Appendix II to Part 200 – Contract Provisions for Non-federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards. Cause: The Agency’s procurement policy needs to be updated to document the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Effect: The Agency’s procurement policy does not comply with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance, which could result in procurements that do not comply with the Uniform Guidance and the awarding agency disallowing the federal award and requesting the return of the award. Context: The Agency’s procurement policy complies with many requirements of the Uniform Guidance, but the policy does not comply with certain required provisions, including the thresholds for micro purchases, simplified acquisition threshold and full public procurements and the requirements for sole sourcing procurements under section 200.320. The procurements tested were found to comply with procurement requirements under Uniform Guidance even though the policy did not include all of the required provisions. Recommendation: The Agency should update its procurement policy to reference Uniform Guidance §§ 200.317 through 200.327 and should reference contracting provisions under Appendix II to Part 200 to be in compliance with Uniform Guidance prior to procurements being made under future federal awards. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The procurement policy will be updated to include procurement guidance under Uniform Guidance §§ 200.317 through 200.327 and contracting provisions under Appendix II to Part 200 – Contract Provisions for Non-federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards. Title of Responsible Party: Finance Manager Implementation Date: By September 22, 2026

Finding 2025-001 – Accuracy of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) The ALN numbers identified as incorrect were on 16.588 & 16.575 under the Violence Against Women Formula Grant. These two numbers were inadvertently transposed during preparation of the SEFA. Out of the 20 ALN numbers reported, only these two were inaccurate. All expenditures reported on the SEFA were based on actual expenditures incurred consistent with prior guidance provided by the auditor. During the previous audit cycle, VALOR’s accountant sought clarification regarding whether expenditures should be reported based on actual expenditures or reimbursement amounts and was instructed to use actual expenditures incurred. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.510(b), auditees must prepare a SEFA that accurately identifies programs by the correct ALN and reports expenditures based on actual amounts expended from federal awards. Except for the inadvertent transposition of the two ALN numbers noted above, the SEFA was prepared in compliance with these requirements. As a corrective action, beginning with the next SEFA report for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the SEFA will be prepared by the Senior Accountant, Karen Sayers, and reviewed by both the Director of Operations, Rosemary Gonzales, and the organization’s CPA, Kim Jones, prior to submission to verify the accuracy of all ALN numbers and reported amounts.

Finding 2025-002 – Incomplete Subrecipient Agreements and Inaccurate Subrecipient SEFA Reporting Subrecipient agreements were executed based on California’s State Administrator of federal funds (CalOES) requirements applicable to second-tier subawards. Based on guidance provided during Federal Grants Advanced Training and the 2025 CalOES Subrecipient Handbook (page 65), entities receiving pass-through funding from the state are required to follow CalOES second-tier subaward requirements. Accordingly, VALOR’s agreements include the elements required for second-tier subawards. Elements of a Second-Tier Subaward (From the 2025 CalOES Subrecipient Handbook) The following elements must be included in a Second-Tier Subaward: • Name of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • The titles and contact information for the individuals that will serve as the primary contacts,• The timeframe of the agreement (this must cover the Grant Subaward performance period), • The roles and responsibilities (as they relate to the specific Grant Subaward) of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • Specific information concerning all non-fiscal resources shared between the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • Reporting requirements necessary for the Subrecipient Organization to meet Cal OES reporting requirements, • Signatures of the chief executive or designee of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, including the dates of those signatures, and • Specific information concerning the transfer of any Grant Subaward funds from the Subrecipient Organization to the participating agency/organization. At a minimum, this information must include the total amount of Grant Subaward funds that will be transferred, the process for transferring the Grant Subaward funds (e.g., monthly invoices, payment based on deliverables), what the Grant Subaward funds will be used for, and any match contribution provided by the participating agency/organization. Any funds included in the Second-Tier Subaward must be clearly designated (not itemized) in the Grant Subaward Budget Pages (Cal OES Form 2-106a or b). Additionally, second tier subrecipients are prohibited from charging indirect costs; therefore, indirect cost provisions were not included in the agreements. Based on the above, management believes the subrecipient agreements substantially complied with applicable CalOES requirements. Any omissions identified were administrative in nature and did not impact program performance, allowability of costs, or oversight of subrecipient activities. To strengthen internal controls and ensure full compliance with all applicable grant requirements, beginning January 1, 2027, VALOR’s Director of Operations, Rosemary Gonzales, will include all required elements identified in the finding in future subrecipient agreements. In addition, VALOR will review subrecipient Single Audit reports to verify that applicable grant funding is properly reported on the SEFA. VALOR will also notify subrecipients of the requirement to include these amounts in their future SEFA reporting. Contracts for the current year, 2026, have already been signed.

View of Responsible Officials: Management carried out an after-action review to identify root cause of delays in completing the 2024 audit and timely filing of the single audit report packet. We implemented strict timeline in completing the 2024 year-end financial closing process and accounts reconciliation. An overall Audit Coordinator was appointed and worked closely with the business process leads while Regional and Country Managers helped ensure completion of the 2024 field offices and affiliates audit reports prior to start of the global audit fieldwork. While timely submission of the 2024 Single Audit package remained a high priority, staff bandwidth constraints required additional time to ensure all audit requests were thoroughly supported and addressed. Management is continuing to strengthen processes and coordination mechanisms to improve timeliness going forward, including better workload planning, earlier engagement with key stakeholders, and ongoing monitoring of audit readiness milestones.

Federal Program: Consolidated Health Centers Grant Assistance Listing No. 93.224 & 93.527 Recommendation: Our auditors recommend the Organization to review internal controls in regards to the determination, recording, and monitoring of the sliding fee process to ensure that appropriate sliding fee rates/categories are utilized for each sliding fee encounter and that all documentation supporting the sliding discount provided is retained. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: These errors are due to incorrect slide percentage amounts being put into eCW. There is also a known issue within eCW where the eCW changes the slide amount to either 100% or a different slide than was entered. The Organization has found a work around so that the Organization can fix this issue before claims are adjusted. Billing will start reviewing slide documents prior to applying slide to make sure that the percentage entered into eCW is correct for income/family size. These will also be reviewed by the front desk manager and lead patient service representative.

Federal Program: Consolidated Health Centers Grant Assistance Listing No. 93.224 & 93.527 Recommendation: Our auditors recommend the Organization to review internal controls in regards to the approval of federal fund drawdown requests. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization is in agreement with finding. The control issue was due to turnover in finance staff during fiscal year 2025. Under the direction of the Organization’s new CFO, the following revised procedures for cash management have been implemented for fiscal year 2026: • Payroll Documentation: A staff accountant or the controller will compile payroll expense details along with supporting documentation for each drawdown. • Review and Approval: This documentation is submitted to the CFO for review prior to any fund transfer. • Drawdown Execution: Upon approval, the CFO will initiate the drawdown from PMS. • Frequency: Drawdowns are processed on a biweekly basis and reflect expenses from the preceding payroll cycle. Upon completion of the drawdown, the CFO will save a copy of the drawdown request to the internal drive. • This drawdown receipt is reviewed by a second staff member, either the controller or senior accountant. • Drawdowns are also reviewed during monthly bank reconciliations.
