Finding Text
Statement of Condition: We reviewed 5 files (recertification, initial certification, and move-out files) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The selected files represent a sample of all files in the program. Criteria: HUD requires that certain criteria be met when determining tenant eligibility, selecting applicants from the wait list, and calculating total tenant payments. Effect: We noted an instance in which incorrect social security benefits were used in calculating total tenant payment. Tenant income was understated, resulting in an understatement of tenant rent by $13 per month. Cause: Property management did not use correct social security benefits in calculating total tenant payment.Recommendation: Property management should use updated income sources when calculating total tenant payment. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Organization agrees with the finding. Please refer to the corrective action plan on page 34.
