The Community Services Block Grant Program requires participants to have annual income not exceeding 200 percent of the Federal poverty line. Eligible entities are required to establish procedures for verifying and calculating annual income for households participating in the program. We noted one participant file with an income calculation error. A sample of thirty-seven tenant files with assistance payments totaling $100,448 was selected from a population of approximately 209 tenants with assistance payments totaling $346,974 for the year ended September 30, 2022. Our tests found that one participant file did not use the correct income verification documentation for determining client eligibility. Our sample was not a statistically valid sample.
