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:
Per Table 10-1 of the Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook, the Authority was required to perform 10 quality control housing re-inspections. Eight quality control re-inspections could be documented.
Auditor’s Recommendation: The Authority should perform housing quality control re-inspections according
to HUD guidelines.
Grantee Response: We will comply with the auditor’s recommendation. As new management, we will ensure
procedures will be put in force to monitor and perform the required re-inspections.
