Corrective Action Plan

In response to audit finding 2022-001 cited in the Authority’s audit report as of December 31, 2022, please be advised that it is the Authority’s policy is to follow appropriate procedures with respect to properly maintaining tenant files of the Housing Choice Vouchers program. However, during year 2022 our Housing Manager resigned and has not been replaced as yet. Her responsibilities were assumed by the Assistant Housing Manager who was not as experienced nor fully trained to assume the responsibilities. Because of the shortage in personnel as a result of the Housing Manager’s resignation, normal monitoring procedures were not performed which led to the deficiencies cited in the audit report.
