AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Entity collected over $500,000 in federal funds beyond the limits set by their section 8 rental subsidy contract.
  • Impacted Requirements: Management failed to update records to reflect the reduced subsidy amounts, leading to excess requisitioning.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Contact the HUD asset manager promptly to address and resolve the funding error.

Finding Text

Criteria The Entity is a party to a section 8 rental subsidy contract which limits the rents to be charged on each unit in the property. This contract is periodically renewed, and maximum chargable rents are adjusted accordingly. Condition The Entity collected federal funds in excess of contracted amounts. Cause Management did not adjust its records for the decrease in the subsidy contracted amount and requisitioned subsidies in excess of the contract in place. Questioned Costs None noted. Context The total subsidy deposits were in excess of the contract in place. Effect The Entity received section 8 funding in excess of the current contract totaling approximately $500,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024. Recommendation We recommend that the Entity contact their HUD asset manager to discuss this error and how to resolve it as soon as possible.

Corrective Action Plan

The above finding is the result of two missed rent schedules not being processed. It will be corrected with the execution of an approved repayment plan with HUD.
