Finding 2026-004 Plan: Please see below the new process regarding hiring additional staff and turnover at Community Action Partnership Belknap-Merrimack Counties Inc. Due to lack of management, it is understood the importance of having staff training on a regular basis to ensure management and compliance duties can be performed adequately. Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties Inc. plans to improve the standards of employee training and will be hosting quarterly trainings on employee responsibilities, performance, and areas for improvement. This includes HUD trainings and keeping up to date on any new HUD policies and procedures. We understand the importance of a well-trained staff. We are committed to our performance and adhering to HUD standards while implementing policies to follow for continuous improvement. Please see below the new process regarding filling vacancies and completing management duties in a timely manner: 1. Immediate Focus on Vacancies: We are prioritizing the filling of vacant units by having two staff members complete move ins at the same time. 2. Streamlined Recertification Process: We have updated our process to ensure all tenants are recertified in a timely manner. There has been a new system in place to monitor deadlines and improve efficiency. 3. Staffing and Training: We are actively recruiting and training additional staff to ensure these tasks are handled promptly, preventing future delays. These steps will address the backlog of management duties and ensure that all tasks, such as filling vacancies, submitting budgets, and completing tenant recertifications, are handled in a timely and efficient manner.
