Federal Award Finding 2025-002 - Material Weakness, Material Noncompliance - Special Tests and Provisions, Mortgage Status and Reserve for Replacements Finding: During the fiscal year, the Organization experienced ongoing financial distress and declining liquidity, which adversely affected its ability to meet financial obligations as they became due. As a result, mortgage payments, including required principal, interest, mortgage insurance premiums, and escrow deposits, were not made in accordance with the loan and regulatory agreements. As of December 31, 2025, delinquent amounts totaled approximately $978 thousand. Recommendation: The Receiver and the Organization should work with HUD to develop and implement a formal workout or resolution plan, including enhanced cash-flow monitoring and debt service planning, to address the loan default and restore compliance with HUD debt service requirements. Action Taken: Management acknowledges the finding related to the failure to make required debt service payments under the HUD Section 232 and Section 241(a) insured mortgage loan agreements. The Organization experienced significant financial distress and constrained liquidity during the fiscal year, which limited its ability to remit required principal, interest, mortgage insurance premium, and escrow payments as they became due. As a result of the loan default, the mortgage was assigned to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. With the appointment of a Receiver over the Organization, responsibility for cash management, financial oversight, and debt service planning has transitioned to the Receiver. The Receiver is marketing the facility towards a sale in order to satisfy the outstanding loan balance with HUD. Interim corrective actions include enhanced cash-flow monitoring, prioritization of operational suppliers, and ongoing communication with HUD regarding the project's financial condition and sale status. Management believes that these actions will support progress towards stabilization and marketability of the Organization.
