Award Period: 3/1/21-3/31/23
Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters
Criteria or Specific Requirement: Housing Choice Voucher program requires documentation of
admission of new tenants from the waiting list and signed Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract.
Condition: Management did not retain applicable documentation of a new tenant being admitted to the
program or retain documentation supporting admission to the program in proper order.

documentation retained. We were unable to verify tenants were admitted to the program in the proper
order.
Cause: Documentation was misplaced and unable to be located.
Effect: Improper admission from the waiting list could result in noncompliance with the Organization’s
Administrative Plan and HUD requirements.
Repeat Finding: No

being admitted to program.
Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management is in agreement with
the finding.
