Finding Text
Condition and Criteria: The Authority’s purpose for existence is providing decent safe and affordable housing to low-income persons. As such, HUD requires the Authority to comply with special tests and provisions relating to its Housing Choice Voucher program. The Authority must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the Authority must conduct quality control re-inspections. The Authority must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)).
Population and Items Tested:
During our testing of fifteen housing choice voucher tenant files, we noted the annual inspections were completed as required. However, during the current fiscal year, the PHA did not conduct the required quality control re-inspections.
Auditor’s Recommendation: The Authority should perform housing quality control re-inspections according to HUD guidelines.
Grantee Response: We will complete the required quality control re-inspections.
Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024
