Recommendation: The Department of Housing should promptly submit required financial information to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in accordance with Title 24 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 5.801. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Housing: We agree with the finding. The Department of Housing (DOH) submitted its 2019 audit in August 2025 and is currently awaiting the Auditor’s approval. With the new stablished Section-8 Division, the additional support has made a great impact, and it has helped expedite this work. However, the process is time consuming because we cannot submit audits for subsequent years until the prior year’s audit is approved. Once the 2019 audit is approved, we will begin work on the 2020 audit and continue sequentially until we are fully up to date. Our goal is to be fully caught up by December 31, 2027.

Recommendation: The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services should strengthen internal controls to ensure providers maintain sufficient and current documentation to support the reasonableness of rent for the Continuum of Care Program. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services: DMHAS Housing and Homeless Services Unit verbally instructed providers that they must complete, prior to client move-in, accurately, sign and retain documentation regarding the comparable units when completing the Rent Reasonableness on December 17, 2024. On December 24, 2024 and December 19, 2025, these instructions were sent to the providers via email. On February 4, 2025, DMHAS updated the CoC Operations Guide with the full instructions for completing the Rent Reasonableness and the retention of supporting documentation. DMHAS will continue to randomly review a sample of Rent Reasonable documents throughout the year and will provide training and technical assistance to providers on the completion and retention of Rent Reasonableness documentation.

Recommendation: The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services should strengthen internal controls to ensure providers maintain sufficient documentation to support participant eligibility and accurately calculate client income and rental assistance payments in the Continuum of Care Program. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services: In 2026, DMHAS will continue to conduct trainings on CoC Fiscal Requirements. As in the past, these trainings will be recorded and available for viewing on the Connecticut Balance of State Continuum of Care (CTBOS) website. DMHAS Housing and Homeless Services Unit staff conduct mandatory in-person and virtual Technical Assistance visits for the funded agencies to provide guidance and training on the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required eligibility regulations Income Calculation and Documentation. On November 1, 2023, DMHAS implemented a Microsoft Excel Workbook that is fully inclusive of the DMHAS required paperwork, including the income calculation, lease, contract, as well as initial and recertification which standardizes the documents for each participant. On December 19, 2025, the workbook was updated to enhance internal controls over the use of Rent Reasonableness forms and calculations of client income and rental assistance payments. The DMHAS Housing and Homeless Services Unit will continue to work with the DMHAS Fiscal Services Bureau to ensure payments are made accurately, correctly and on-time.

Recommendation: The Department of Social Services should strengthen internal controls to ensure that it consistently secures, tracks, and records returned cards for the Summer EBT program. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Social Services: The Department agrees with this finding. However, the Department believes that there are proper internal controls to ensure the security of returned cards. There was no log maintained by the Department but the controls in place reduced the risk of benefits being used incorrectly to an acceptable level. The returned cards were destroyed, and all unused benefits were expunged.

Recommendation: The Department of Social Services should strengthen internal controls to identify the agency responsible for each client’s eligibility determination and document benefit iteration approvals for the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer Program for Children. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Social Services: The Department disagrees with this finding. Condition #1: Eligibility for the Summer EBT program is established through multiple pathways: receipt of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, Temporary Family Assistance (TFA), or HUSKY A coverage, and through applying for and receiving an eligibility determination for either the National School Lunch Program or the Summer EBT program itself. Determining eligibility is a shared responsibility between DSS and the State Department of Education (SDE), and children qualify through multiple pathways simultaneously. DSS maintains a record within its eligibility system and compiles reports of all eligible children. When eligibility is established through any additional means, the child’s record is then analyzed against all previous issuances to ensure duplicate participation and double issuance does not occur. Title 7 CFR Part 292.16 (a)(5)(i) requires the Summer EBT agency to establish a master issuance file which contains all information needed to identify eligible children, issue Summer EBT benefits, record the participation activity for each household and supply all information necessary to fulfill reporting requirements. The agency is not required to specify which program(s) were used to determine eligibility, which is reasonable given that there may be multiple overlapping avenues of eligibility. The implication that DSS is somehow not compliant or able to identify the source of eligibility is inaccurate. DSS can identify this information on an individual basis through reviewing the child’s receipt of SNAP, TFA, HUSKY A, or through its ongoing coordination and communication with SDE. Condition #2: It is not a requirement of the business systems division to request approval for each issuance. Each year the Department issues benefits for this program in a consistent manner. Since there were no changes to the process during the audit period, approval was not sought for the issuances. Business systems would only seek approval if there was a change to the process.

Recommendation: The State Department of Education should continue to pursue guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to ensure it complies with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act reporting requirements. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the State Department of Education: We agree with this finding. Following guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we have taken corrective actions to achieve compliance. Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting has been completed for awards issued during fiscal years 2024 and 2025, with the exception of three entities that are currently experiencing delays in obtaining their respective Unique Entity Identifiers. FFATA reporting for fiscal year 2026 is currently underway, and reporting for fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023 will be completed as soon as all required data elements are obtained. We anticipate being fully compliant with past reporting by June 30, 2026.

Corrective Action Plan This corrective action plan was developed in response to the audit finding related to the timely submission of Federal Financial Reports (FFRs). The purpose of this plan is to improve the controls that were previously in place to ensure FFRs are filed accurately and by required deadlines. Finding While the audit noted that the control for tracking the timely submission of Federal Financial Reports (FFRs) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services program could have been more robust at the time of reporting, it is important to recognize that this was an isolated administrative oversight rather than a systemic control failure. The organization has a strong history of compliance, as evidenced by its unmodified (clean) audit opinion, absence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, and its classification as a low-risk auditee. There were no questioned costs, penalties, or loss of funding associated with this issue, and all other compliance requirements for federal programs were met. Corrective Action The existing process has been improved to track FFR due dates and support timely submission. This process includes the use of Grantseeker, a grant tracking system that provides automated daily email reminders beginning two weeks prior to each submission deadline. Each reporting task is assigned to the staff member responsible for completion of the filing. Oversight and Monitoring Oversight of the process is provided by a Grantseeker system administrator, who monitors task assignments and reminder notifications to help ensure reporting deadlines are met. This additional level of review supports accountability and helps confirm that required filings are completed in a timely manner. Responsible Party The staff member assigned to the specific grant is responsible for preparing and submitting the applicable FFR. The Grantseeker system administrator is responsible for oversight of the tracking process. Expected Outcome Implementation of this corrective action is expected to strengthen internal controls over grant reporting and ensure timely submission of all required Federal Financial Reports.

Each month, the Contract Accountant prepares and submits to the Vice President of Finance a summary of the year to date activity along with the full outstanding intercompany balance, including prior year amounts. The Vice President of Finance reviews this reconciliation against the Home Share account balances to determine the amount that can be transferred to reduce the intercompany liability in accordance with HUD surplus cash requirements. Once the transfer is approved and completed, the Contract Accountant receives confirmation along with a copy of the ACH transaction to document the transaction. This process is performed and documented as part of each month end close to ensure timely, accurate, and compliant surplus cash transfers.

Finding No. 2025-001 – Reporting – Compliance and Internal Control (Significant Deficiency) Corrective Action Plan: The discrepancies identified during the current audit were determined to be timing-related issues associated with the transition and implementation of revised disbursement reporting and reconciliation procedures in order to address a similar compliance finding that was identified in the 2024 Single Audit. These discrepancies occurred while updated controls and monitoring processes were being fully integrated into daily operations. During the prior audit conducted on April 6, 2025, auditors identified discrepancies between institutional disbursement dates and the dates reflected in the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system for the 2023-2024 award year. Immediately upon identification of the issue in the 2024 Single Audit, the institution implemented corrective measures to ensure that institutional disbursement dates matched Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) reporting. Since May 2025, the following corrective actions have already been fully implemented: 1. Revised and strengthened reconciliation procedures between the Student Information System and COD to ensure accurate disbursement date reporting. 2. Implemented secondary review controls prior to transmitting disbursement records to COD. 3. Established ongoing internal monitoring and periodic reconciliation reviews to identify and resolve discrepancies promptly. 4. Conducted additional staff training regarding Title IV disbursement reporting requirements and COD reconciliation procedures. 5. Assigned designated personnel responsibility for continuous oversight and verification of disbursement date accuracy. 6. Corrected disbursement reporting processes to ensure institutional records align with COD reporting requirements moving forward. Anticipated Completion Date: Since May 2025, the institution has taken all necessary measures to address and correct the identified issues on a prospective basis. All corrective actions outlined above are currently in place and operational. The institution continues to monitor disbursement reporting and reconciliation processes to ensure ongoing compliance with federal Title IV regulations and accurate reporting to COD.
