Finding Text
Statement of Condition ? For the Low Rent Public Housing, we reviewed 40 tenant files (recertification files and new tenant files) for fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. We reviewed 5 files for tenants who moved out during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The selected files represented a sample of all files in the three AMPS. We noted 4 instances in which the EIV indicated wages for household members. There was no follow up documentation in the files indicating that these wages should or should not be included in the household income calculation. Criteria ? Per the Public Housing Occupancy Guidebook (Section 8.4.5), ?When a source of income appears in EIV that the family did not report, the Authority must investigate to determine if the family is currently receiving income from that source.? Effect ? For the instances noted above, the Authority is working with the families to determine if additional wages should be included in the income calculations. At this time, it is unknown if adjustments to income are necessary. Cause ? Incorrect procedures were followed in regards to tenant leasing processes. Identification of a repeat finding ? This is a repeat finding from the immediate previous audit, 2021-001. Recommendation ? Procedures surrounding tenant leasing processes should be strengthened.
