The Wytheville Redevelopment & Housing Authority had experienced turnover during FY2025. The hiring of a new Executive Director (3/1/2025) and a new Housing Director (10/31/2025). All of the FY 2025 new admissions, annual, & interim recertifications would have been completed by our previous Housing Director. Both new hires have obtained specialized training in the Housing Choice Voucher program and have gained competencies in administering the program. 2025-001- Participant Signatures A portion of our HCV tenants & landlords did not fulfill their obligation to sign and return certification documents. Moving forward, the following has system has been implemented: All HCV participants are to be given a strict return documents deadline. If a tenant or landlord fails to bring in their signed documents, Housing Assistance Payments will be suspended. If the participant fails to bring in the aforementioned documents before the end of the month. Their participation with the WRHA HCV program will be terminated. No HCV applicant will be placed onto the program until their new admission documents have been signed All HCV participants (tenants and landlords) will be receiving a letter informing them of the WRHA’s obligation to receive signed documents At the end of every month, I will review documents with housing staff here to ensure corrective action is enforced. Our housing operations staff will be cross training with other agencies as well to strengthen their competencies with the HCV program. Since the completion of our FY2025 audit, I have taken the time to review our internal procedures and find that this corrective action plan will assist our agency in its ongoing dedication to compliance.
