CRITERIA HUD Handbook 7465.1 Revision 2 for HUD Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs requires the tenant applications to be dated and time-stamped. EFFECT OF CONDITION The tenant application was not properly dated and time-stamped. CONTEXT During audit fieldwork, six tenant files from a statistically valid sample were examined for compliance with tenant eligibility criteria. Of the six tenant files examined, one tenant was a new move-in. The tenant application did not contain the required date and time-stamp. CAUSE OF CONDITION Management mistakenly did not ensure the application was dated and time-stamped. RECOMMENDATION The auditor recommends ensuring all tenant applications are dated and time-stamped when they are submitted. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS AND PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTIONS The Project will be monitoring the proper use of the date and time-stamp on all tenant applications.
