Corrective Action
The initial eligibility determinations are currently handled by the HCV department and are
centralized. It has been determined that considerable investment in staff training has been made
during the past twelve months. As a result, there has been staff turnover, some at the decision of
TGHA, and some at the decision of staff. Initial eligibility is currently being restructured with an
emphasis on new admissions. All procedures and processes are being evaluated for accuracy, with
emphasis on the noted area of noncompliance and includes a complete review and update to the
Administrative Plan. There will be increased staff training and file review. In July 2024, TGHA
transitioned project-based files from a property management team to the Housing Choice Voucher
Department. The files had not been electronically stored. Evidence pointed to deficiencies in file
maintenance. TGHA has hired temporary staff for an extended period to focus on file organization
and to correct documentation deficiencies. All HCV staff have completed Rent Calculation courses
provided by NAHRO or Nan McKay during the fiscal year. There have been two managers hired for
the department, one exclusively for project-based vouchers. Both attended NAHRO supervisory
training in September. There will be an intensive focus on program integrity throughout the
programs, including staff capability, training and monitoring. TGHA has contracted with a
professional recruiter to assist in hiring a Director of the HCV and MTW programs.
Recertification transactions will be monitored on a monthly basis. This will include validation of
calculations and verification of correct documentation. It is anticipated that TGHA files will be fully in
order by July 2025.
