Finding Text
Statement of Condition: We reviewed 36 files (recertification, initial certification, and move-out files) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The selected files represent a sample of all files in the program.
Criteria: HUD requires that certain criteria be met when determining tenant eligibility, selecting applicants from the waiting list, and calculating total tenant payments.
Effect: We noticed two instances in which total tenant payments were miscalculated. Tenant income was understated, resulting in an understatement of tenant rent by $290 per month. Cause: Property management did not properly include all income sources in calculating total tenant payments. Recommendation: Property management should address all sources of income/allowed deductions when calculating total tenant payment.
