Finding Text
During the testing of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, we were unable to determine that income eligibility verification was completed and reviewed by management for a number of Tenant Based Rental Assistance recipients tested. Per discussion with Corporation management, tenant income was verified; however, the determination of recipient eligibility was not properly documented. The Corporation should document the verification of income to ensure that the eligibility determination was performed and reviewed by management. Not properly documenting verification of recipient eligibility could result in ineligible recipients receiving assistance in addition to noncompliance with the grant agreement. We recommend the Corporation review and evaluate the process for verification and approval of applicant eligibility to ensure compliance with the grant.
