Auditee’s Response and Planned Corrective Action
The Authority has had staff and consultant turnover during the period under audit. Additionally, the eviction moratorium and lasting effects from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in delaying or receiving no responses from tenants regarding obtaining the necessary documentation for eligibility requirements.
The Authority has evidentiary documentation supporting their attempts to obtain the required documents from the tenants, such as certified letters, and courts suspension of evictions during the eviction process.
Other documentation related to the moratorium that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, is available which includes evictions for nonpayment and noncompliance. The Authority has been working with legal counsel on these matters and continues to pursue this vigorously. The Authority has also hired new staff and consultants who has been diligently working to implement improvements.
In most of the files the checklist cover pages were included but in some files reviewed the oversite cover page checklist was missing, however the required documentations were in place. A greater effort will be made immediately that all files will have completed the control check list cover pages in place with all appropriate signatures noted.
Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: March 4, 2025
Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Keith Burrell, Executive Director
