Finding Text
Condition and Criteria: The Authority’s purpose for existence is providing decent safe and affordable housing to low-income persons. The PHA should establish and maintain policies for the selection of tenants from the waiting list. As documented in the CMR, the PHA did not properly maintain its waiting list. In addition, the PHA is required to obtain an executed General Depository Agreement for all bank accounts. Tenants were selected and traced to the waiting list. However, as documented in the CMR, the waiting list did not include applicants that had been ineligible when they originally applied.
We also were not provided with an executed General Depository Agreement. Due to the change in management, some bank accounts have not been able to update the authorized signers on the accounts.
Auditor’s Recommendation: The Authority should update its waiting list requirements and ensure that applicants are selected in the proper order. The PHA should obtain the required General Depository Agreement and make sure that current management and board members have access to all bank accounts.
Grantee Response: We will comply with the auditor’s recommendation.
Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2024
