Finding Text
24 CFR section 982.158(d) provides that the Public Housing Authority (PHA) must prepare a unit inspection report. Further, 24 CFR section 982.405(a) provides that the PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family prior to the initial term of the lease, at least biennially during assisted occupancy, and at other times as needed, to determine if the unit meets the HQS. The Authority did not perform housing quality inspections in 2022 for 87.5 percent of the current tenant files tested for the Housing Choice Voucher program. The failure to perform housing quality inspections could lead to future questioned costs, reduced future federal funding, and the requirement to repay the U.S. Department of Urban development. The Executive Director and Housing Choice Voucher Manager should ensure all tenant files maintain the appropriate documentation and meet the requirements for inspections.
