Views of Responsible Officials: FFATA reports for subawards awarded during the year ending June 30, 2023 were submitted on December 11, 2023. The Housing and Community Development Division will also submit FFATA reports for all subaward expenditures from prior program years included on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the year ended June 30, 2023. This process has been added to the Division’s checklist for processing funding agreements with subrecipients to avoid recurrence in the future. In addition, this task has been added to monthly tracking.
