AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Management failed to track and maintain records for HOME-assisted units, leading to non-compliance with federal regulations.
  • Impacted Requirements: All three tested tenant lease files lacked updated Tenant Income Certifications, supporting documentation, and current unit inspections.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement a system to ensure timely updates and proper documentation for tenant files to meet compliance standards.

Finding Text

Management did not properly track or maintain records to demonstrate that designated HOME-assisted units were in compliance with federal regulations. Of the three (3) HOME tenant lease files tested, all three (3) tenant files did not have the most updated Tenant Income Certification (TIC), supporting documentations for assets and income verification, nor current physical unit inspections.

Corrective Action Plan

EAH has reviewed internal controls over compliance to ensure that management retains relevant files and information to prevent such errors from occurring in the future. The onsite team is currently in the process of the 2023 unit inspections and will ensure work orders are completed and resident files are updated to include the executed unit inspection sheets.
