AL number: 14.871
AL Title: Housing Voucher Cluster - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers
Name of Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Federal Award Identification number and year: CA010 (2019)
Criteria: Public Housing Authorities (PHA) are required to file and complete Form HUD-52648, SEMAP Certification – Addendum for Reporting Data for Deconcentration Bonus Indictor as stipulated in 24 CFR Section 985 each fiscal year.
Condition: We noted that the Housing Authority did not file the required Form HUD-52648 during fiscal year 2019.
Effect: The Housing Authority is not in compliance with the reporting requirements as stated in 24 CFR Section 985.
Cause: We understand the report was not filed due to oversight by the Housing Authority during the transition of the Housing Authority program to the County in 2019.
Recommendation: The Housing Authority must develop procedures to ensure all required reports are filed for the program.
Since the Housing Authority transferred the Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV Section 8) program to the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) on July 1, 2019, the Housing Authority should work with the HACCC to determine how to address the recommendation.
