Corrective Action: The Organization agrees with the finding. Currently, management plans to transition 50% of its real estate portfolio to new property management in 2025. Management is working with the new property managers to ensure they have procedures in place to document and maintain tenant files in accordance with HUD and will have routine internal audits of tenant files to ensure compliance with HUD regulations. For properties not transitioning to new property management, management believes the reduced volume of properties at one property manager will reduce staff turnover and more efficiently provide the proper training to existing staff to improve compliance with tenant files. Proposed completion date: Management has begun the corrective action and is expected to have additional internal controls in place by December 31, 2025.

Corrective Action Plan Department of Housing and Urban Development Audit firm: Paciera, Gautreau & Priest, LLC, 3209 Ridgelake Drive, Suite 200, Metairie, LA 70002. Audit period: Year ended June 30, 2024 The findings from the June 30, 2024, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Audit Finding number 2024-001 Condition: The audited entity did not submit its prior year’s annual financial statements to the federal clearinghouse by the required deadline. Criteria: According to federal regulations, annual financial statements must be submitted to the federal clearinghouse within nine months of the fiscal year-end. Cause: The delay was due to a discrepancy with the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). The name associated with the UEI did not match the name of the audited entity. Management has been unable to rectify this discrepancy despite efforts to resolve the issue. Because of this discrepancy the auditor did not complete and submit the audit timely. Effect: The late submission may result in non-compliance with federal regulations, potentially leading to penalties or other administrative actions. Responsible Person: Cantrese Wilson-Jones, Executive Director Planned Action: Management acknowledges the finding and is actively working to resolve the UEI discrepancy. Steps are being taken to ensure that future submissions are timely and compliant with federal regulations. Anticipated completion date: It is anticipated that this will be completed before March 31, 2025. Yours truly, Housing Authority of the City of Westwego Cantrese Wilson-Jones Executive Director

The City internally identify improvement opportunities in managing grants. As a part of the City’s grant oversight improvement efforts, the City began implementing various processes and internal controls surrounding grant monitoring, which improves the SEFA drafting process and mitigates risks of future inaccuracies. These efforts began in early 2024 and include the following: • Creation of a grant policy that provides City staff with guidance, information, and expectations surrounding grants. • Creation of a master grants database that lists the general ledger fund, applicable project ledger references, status, grant type, start/end dates, granting agency, pass-through agency, grant name, assistance listing numbers, grant amounts, and the grant manager for each grant. This database is now used to verify the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA (beginning FY24). • Formal quarterly monitoring. Each quarter, the City will formally review the grants database with department contacts and grant managers to verify the completeness and accuracy of the database. The City is formalizing this process and plans to include department signoffs evidencing the review process. If any items are missing, the missing component will be identified and added to the database on a timely basis. The City will also utilize this quarterly process to review the grants policy to ensure grant managers are aware of the requirements related to their grants. • The City is in the process of formalizing the SEFA drafting process utilized during the FY24 SEFA preparation, which includes additional mitigating procedures such as reviewing all next FY federal receipts to ensure none of them relate to the SEFA year federal expenditures.

Date: March 27, 2025 Cognizant or Oversight Agency: U.S. Department of the Treasury Public Counsel respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended August 31, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Armanino, LLP 11766 Wilshire Blvd. 9th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90025 Audit period: August 31, 2024 The finding from the August 31, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS-FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2024-001 The Uniform Guidance Cost principles require consistency in treatment of costs and, specifically, that compensation costs be consistent. In addition, the Uniform Guidance requires that there be a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable and properly allocated and conform to the established accounting policies and practices of the Organization. Recommendation: The process implemented by management during the year appears to have addressed the ongoing variances satisfactorily, and management should continue with its new process. Action Taken: We agree with the auditors' recommendations, and we have already taken the following actions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024: We have updated the payroll allocation methodology to ensure that we are making allocations for employees on a fully pro rata basis and that there is a validation process to ensure that 100% of an employee’s time is appropriately allocated across Federal and non-Federal funding sources. The supporting documentation is saved in our shared network folders and attached to the journal entries within our financial system. For any future process or system changes, we will ensure that we have thoroughly assessed the impact of any change before we implement it and vet it in through our internal grant compliance team. We have already made changes to involve our Legal Data Manager to implement a reporting process to ensure that we have complete timeslips that reflect both employee and supervisor approvals for every pay period. We will maintain this approach in Legal Server, the Organization's case management and timekeeping system, and will attach these timeslips as support for each of our allocation entries. We will continue to assess our procedures and internal controls relevant to our Federal funding to ensure compliance with the requirements of Uniform Guidance. We will do a thorough review of our internal control system and update it as necessary to align with best practices as recipients of Federal funding. The Finance team will continue to actively seek training related to Uniform Guidance updates and other Federal rules and requirements. We will share and discuss this information across departments to maintain organization-wide compliance.

The findings are numbered to correspond to the auditing findings disclosed in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. 2024-001 Eligibility Federal Program: Public and Indian Housing, Federal Assistance Listing Number 14.850 Condition and Criteria: The Authority’s purpose for existence is to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families. As such, the Authority prepares a file for each admitted family, which contains information necessary to determine eligibility for assistance and calculations of rent to be paid by the family. HUD regulations prescribe the content of these family files. These requirements consist of the following: a. As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, the tenant and other family members are required to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility. b. For both family income examinations and reexaminations, obtain and document in the family file third party verification of: (1) reported family annual income; (2) the value of assets; (3) expenses related to deductions from annual income; and (4) other factors that affect the determination of adjusted income or income-based rent. c. Determine income eligibility and calculate the tenant’s rent payment in accordance with HUD regulations. d. Select tenants from the public housing waiting list in accordance with the PHA’s tenant selection policies. e. Re-examine family income and composition at least once every 12 months and adjust the tenant rent and housing assistance payment as necessary. Population and Items Tested: We selected seventeen public housing tenant files for testing. One file did not contain an annual re-examination. The file indicates a re-examination for September 1, 2022. The next re-examination was conducted on September 1, 2024. One file indicated the tenant should have been charged $399. The tenant was charged $387. Auditor’s Recommendation: All re-examinations should be completed on an annual basis and the required documents should be signed by the tenant. All rent amounts should be updated to make sure they agree with the computed rent. Planned corrective actions: We will comply with the auditor’s recommendation. Estimated Completion Date: June 30, 2025.
