Finding Text
Supportive Housing for the Elderly Assistance Listing NO. 14.157 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Project No. 082-EE061-NP-L8 Program Year 2021
Criteria or Specific Requirement – Special Tests and Provisions: Residual Receipts Account (24 CFR
891.400(e) and 891.600(e))
Condition – The required annual deposit to the residual receipts account for program year 2021 was
not made. This deposit is required to be made within 60 days following year-end.
Questioned Costs – None
Context – The Project is required to calculate surplus cash at the end of each fiscal year and any
amount greater than zero is required to be deposited to a federally insured residual receipts account
within 60 days of year-end. The Project properly calculated surplus cash for fiscal year 2021; however,
funds were not deposited into the residual receipts account as of 6/30/2023.
Effect or potential effect – The Project did not comply with the residual receipts compliance
requirement.
Cause – Fiscal year 2021 was the second year the Project had surplus cash that was required to be
deposited to the residual receipts account and management was dependent on HUD to communicate
surplus cash.
Identification as a Repeat Finding – Yes 2022-001
Recommendation – Management should create policies and procedures to identify and transfer
surplus cash to the residual receipts account to ensure compliance with this requirement.
View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions – Management concurs with the
finding. In the 2022 audit, it was found that Creative Housing IV, Inc. failed to make the surplus cash
deposit for program year 2021 of $1,508. The deposit was made on September 7, 2023.
