Finding Text
24 CFR Part 985 Subpart B—Program Operation § 985.101—SEMAP certification. An PHA must submit the HUD‐required SEMAP certification form within 60 calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The certification must be approved by PHA board resolution and signed by the PHA executive director. If the PHA is a unit of local government or a state, a resolution approving the certification is not required, and the certification must be executed by the Section 8 program director. During the audit, it was noted that the SEMAP was submitted on time, but the PHA board did not approve the SEMAP via board resolution. The PHA board did not approve the SEMAP via board resolution within 60 calendar days after the end of the fiscal year end. The PHA mistakenly missed approving the SEMAP. The Authority did not follow the federal guidelines relating to SEMAP certification. The SEMAP was prepared by the Authority, so just have the board approve the SEMAP via Board Resolution. None Management agrees and has a Corrective Action Plan identifying steps to resolve this finding.
