Finding Text

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Name: Supportive Housing for Persons With Disabilities Assistance Listing Number: 14.181 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: 121-HD002-NP-CMI - 2024 Pass-Through Agency: N/A Award Period: July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 Type of Finding:  Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: According to §200.303 Internal Controls of 2 CFR Part 200, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: Tenant rent computation was not calculated correctly. Questioned costs: None Context: As part of our testing, we noted an issue with a tenant's rent computation, which resulted in undercharged rent. The rent computation requires that all of the tenant's income and assets be included in the calculation of the tenant's rent. The error occurred due to excluding a tenant's asset and rental income. These exclusions collectively understated the rent that should have been charged to the tenant. Cause: Management oversight to address all of the tenant's assets and income on the rent computation form. Effect: Noncompliance results in possible over charges to the grant. Repeat Finding: N/A
