Finding Text

FINDING 2023-003 Assistance Listing Number 21.023 COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program Federal Agency U.S. Department of Treasury Pass-through Agency Not applicable Award Numbers / Years ERA2 City Department Department of Housing (DOH) Criteria: Under the requirements of 2CFR 200.329, the non-Federal entity must submit performance reports at the interval required by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to best inform improvements in program outcomes and productivity. The U.S. Treasury requires program performance reports to be filed quarterly. Condition/Context: Two out of the four quarterly ERA Compliance reports were sampled. It was noted that DOH did not file the second quarter report on a timely basis. The portal did not allow a report to be filed after the due date. The sample was not statistically valid. Effect: DOH was not in compliance with the reporting guidelines for the program. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Cause: DOH did not have a process put in place to ensure that each required quarterly performance report was filed by the deadline. Recommendation: We recommend that DOH review its reporting process to ensure that reports are filed in a timely basis. Views of Responsible Officials: See Corrective Action Plan.
