AI Summary

  • Issue: Incomplete information for the certificate of occupancy was missing for 2 out of 5 HOME loans.
  • Trend: Monitoring checklists lacked necessary signatures, specifically from the Housing Program Coordinator, for the same 2 loans.
  • Follow-up: Ensure all certificates of occupancy are complete and that monitoring checklists are properly signed moving forward.

Finding Text

For two out of five HOME loans selected for testing, the City did not have completed information for the certificate of occupancy that was provided to the homeowners. For two out of five HOME loans selected for testing, the monitoring checklist maintained by the City did not contain the signature of the Housing Program Coordinator.

Corrective Action Plan

The City will enhance compliance monitoring by updating monitoring checklists, ensuring required signatures are obtained, and documenting follow-up when borrower documentation (including occupancy certifications) is incomplete. A monitoring calendar will be used to ensure timely review of HOME loans and collection of required annual documentation. Staff will receive refresher training on HOME requirements.
