Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2024-003 Community Care agrees with this finding. The homeless youth service sector of our organization has significant report requirements that could not be supported by existing resources. A recent effort to improve report timing was to hire an administrative person to specifically focus on these reports. This individual began employment in February 2025. The primary purpose of this position will be to organize data and complete reports on schedule. Responsible Official: David McCluskey, Executive Director Date of Corrective Action: New employee hired in February 2025

Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2024-002 Community Care agrees with this finding. There are three bullets in the finding. Although we agree with the findings, the first two are not fully related to a problem of service delivery from Community Care These timeframes are highly dependent on the Department of Health and Human Services to ensure parents and family members have reliable transportation. Approximately 6 months ago, Community Care discussed with DHHS that we would be willing to transport parents and were told by DHHS the funding cannot be used for that part of the service. Community Care will continue to hiring employees to fulfill the contract and arranging visits efficiently as soon as parents and families members who are visiting have transportation. We have seen improvements in the area. Because these two measurements are not fully in our control we will be advocating for this measurement to be removed in future contract language. The third bullet has been improved since 2024. In Feb of 2025 we made significant efforts and dedicated significant resources in employee to move closer to this goal. Currently we are within 7-10 days from date of service making entries into the Katahdin system rather than two months. Responsible Official: David McCluskey, Executive Director Date of Corrective Action: Hiring activities/efforts are on-going

The Organization did not apply Topic 842 for approximately 300 lease agreements for scatter sites that are part of the Organization's Housing Assistance Program. Recommendation We recommend that the Organization read and review all of its lease agreements to ensure that they are properly accounted for under Topic 842. Action Taken We agree with the finding.

Management's Response/Planned Corrective Action: The Organization has established and implemented a new procedure to ensure the correct allocation of substitute teachers. This change has already been made effective as of July 1, 2024 to meet the auditor's recommendations. The Organization will now bill substitutes exclusively to the appropriate site and program, which will enhance financial tracking and accountability. Substitutes will no longer be included in any distribution tables. Currently, substitutes are assigned to a System of Support (SOS) as their direct supervisor. The SOS is responsible for scheduling substitutes, entering their schedules into Paycor, and assigning them to school sites. Additionally, the Payroll Coordinator, Joanna Qualls, is required to add a billing code to these substitutes. The Payroll Department follows a procedure every pay period to run a report on substitutes, ensuring they are coded correctly. This process has been established as a step for every payroll run. The Director of Finance, Juana Sierra-Perez, also does a final audit of payroll to ensure transactions are being coded properly.

While the audit notes improvements in this area, we continued to face some challenges in properly allocating indirect costs and fringe benefits to individual contracts. We will close the remaining gap between the costs properly billed to individual contracts and the process of reflecting these costs in our accounting system by refining our cost allocation plan.

Finding 2024-002 – The Organization provided humanitarian assistance to migrants and asylum seekers turned over by Customs and Border Protection (CBP), including meals, transportation and shelter at hotels and the Organizations Respite Center. The Organization has intake procedures in place with respect to hotel shelter expenditures. However, the intake process was not consistently applied to all participants. The Organization was not able to provide supporting documentation for 5% of the requested sample of individuals who received shelter. Management's view: Management acknowledges this finding, and awareness has been brought to this area. The errors identified in this finding were made due to a lack of implementation of proper agency financial procedures by a former employee and occurred during a period of substantial influx in the number of non-citizen migrants being assisted. Authorization of credit card use was provided to one hotel vendor which led to unverified charges. This was identified and corrected by senior staff within three weeks. Proposed Corrective Action: The following measures were already taken to correct this finding: The organization has provided proper training to its program staff and accounting bookkeepers to improve the internal payment review process on all payment requests and has prohibited the use of credit cards to cover hotel stays for clients. All hotel payments are to be paid by check after reviewing the proper documentation submitted by the vendor, which includes an invoice with the non-citizen migrant's name as spelled in the Notice to Appear documentation provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This documentation is then compared to the registration database maintained by the organization which includes name and A-number for all non-citizen migrants served. Any unauthorized payment will be immediately investigated and disputed on a timely basis. This policy has already been implemented successfully. An internal sample verification process was completed successfully with supporting evidence for all clients served after the previous unauthorized charges were identified within the period of three weeks. Anticipated Correction Date: These measures have been implemented.
