Finding 2024-002 Questioned Costs: $16,000 Information on Universe and Population Size: N/A Sample Size Information: N/A Noncompliance Information: The Project did not make sufficient required deposits to the Reserve for Replacements (RFR) account during the year ended December 31, 2024. Condition: The RFR account is deficient deposits in the amount of $16,000 for the year ending December 31, 2024. Criteria: The HUD Regulatory Agreement requires that the Project make monthly deposits to the RFR account as approved by HUD. Cause: The Project experienced a shortfall in available operating cash to make the RFR deposits because HUD delayed subsidy payments for the months September - December 2024 while not communicating to Management in a timely matter during Management’s repeated attempts to respond to HUD and resolve the situation that the Project's UEI number needed re-verified. Effect or Potential Effect: The Project RFR account is underfunded as of December 31, 2024. Recommendation: Management should make the required deposits as soon as operating cash is sufficient to do so. Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: Management made a $11,400 deposit on 1/17/2025. The Project finally received the outstanding 2024 subsidy payments in February 2025 and Management made the additional deposit of $4,600 on 3/25/2025. The finding is cleared.
