Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding: 2023-010 Contact Person: Arlen Crabtree Business Operations Manager Economic Development Department Phone: (562) 570-5024 Email: Arlen.Crabtree@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: In April 2024, Economic Development Department worked with the vendor to implement improved evaluation processes related to the income eligibility verification process, including: a. Enhanced Training: The vendor will provide comprehensive training to all reviewers involved in verifying income documentation. This training will emphasize the importance of accurately inputting pay period frequency and using gross income for calculations. b. Secondary checks: The vendor will establish additional quality assurance checks to validate the accuracy of income calculations before final eligibility determinations are made. This may include double-checking calculations by a second reviewer or implementing automated systems to flag potential errors. Additionally, in May 2024 the Economic Development Department has re-evaluated and revised its policy for additional review by staff; increasing the number of applications reviewed by the Economic Development Department from 10% to 30%. In the view of Management of Economic Development Department, increasing the review sample size to 30% sufficiently mitigates the risk of further error while preserving the benefits and efficiencies that utilizing a contract processor provides. Further, the Economic Development Department worked with the vendor to review all applications manually qualified by the vendor to identify any further ineligible applications not found in the sample. Regarding the questioned costs, the Economic Development Department implemented a second round of the Guaranteed Income Program that was funded by non-grant funds. Costs associated with the ineligible applications identified in the audit were reclassified from American Rescue Plan Act funding to the City’s General Fund, and replaced by costs from confirmed eligible applications in the second round of the program. Finally, the City has sought restitution from the vendor on August 29, 2024 for administrative costs of the improperly vetted applications. The City will not seek repayment from the ineligible applicants. The applicants were not responsible for the error. Expected Completion Date: 9/30/2024

Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Finding: 2023-009 Contact Person: Jennifer Saatjian Accounting Services Officer Health & Human Services Department Phone: (562) 570-4022 Email: Jennifer.Saatjian@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: To address delays in reexamination processes, in fiscal year 2024, HACLB has contracted with an agency to assist in processing overdue reexaminations, and HACLB has submitted recruiting requisitions to its Human Resources department to hire additional housing specialists to improve upon its management of the high volume of HCV program participants, documentation and processes, and to meet various requirement deadlines. Regarding the testing of HUD-50058 forms, the HUD-50058 form is generated after information is inputted into HUD’s system. Error warnings are produced from the system if information is missing. Accuracy is based on the information inputted. HACLB will provide additional training to staff inputting the information, and reviews will continue to be done by the supervisor. To further improve upon the process, HACLB implemented new housing software in August 2024, which enhances reporting and tracking of payments, of HUD-50058 forms and of contract amendments. Housing Assistance Coordinators will use these reports to identify and address discrepancies. Regarding the City’s control with the HAP register’s required signatures, HACLB’s internal procedures do not require all six Housing Coordinators to approve the check run/HAP register, as KPMG assumed. There are only three assigned Housing Assistance Coordinators that have designated staff who are allowed to make adjustments and review the check-run adjustment register to confirm the work of their respective teams. If one of the approvers is absent, another approver may review and approve the adjustments that can be completed via email. No further change or action is necessary for this process. Furthermore, supervisors will continue to review completed files and train staff on errors identified in the review process. Expected Completion Date: 9/30/2024

By January 31, 2025, HACLB will also establish clear criteria and standards for the Inspections Housing Assistance Coordinator who is responsible for timely abatement entries, ensuring compliance with operational and regulatory requirements. The Inspections Housing Assistance Coordinator will receive additional training on abatement procedures to enhance their skills and understanding by May 2025, or earlier, depending upon the availability of training opportunities.
