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 1 instance in which a non-disabled head of household received the $400 income deduction for disability. Criteria ? Per the Public Housing Occupancy Guidebook (Income Determination - Section 6.2), ?An elderly or disabled family is any family in which the head, spouse, or co-head (or the sole member) is at least 62 years of age or a person with disabilities.? Effect ? Tenant rent was understated by $10 per month. Cause ? The disability allowance was incorrectly provided to the family. Identification of a repeat finding ? This is a repeat finding from the immediate previous audit, 2021-002. Recommendation ? Procedures surrounding tenant leasing processes should be strengthened.
