OTHER MATTERS

The Organization was unable to perform tenant income certifications (6 tenants; 3 where tenants refused and 3 where tenants were shelter placements and income certifications were not available) and leases were not signed (2 tenants). Under the HOME program requirements, tenants income is to be certified at least annually on the anniversary of the tenant?s move-in date. The Organization should obtain the required missing certifications and all required signatures on the leases. For those tenants not cooperating, eviction procedures should be instituted. Response: The Organization had difficulty obtaining tenant cooperation on the certifications resulting in no certifications or leases not signed. The Organization has improved its certification process to obtain more complete certifications and, where possible, it will be instituting eviction proceedings for those not cooperative.

With new property management staff in place for more than a year, improvements to our process of continuously being made. Tenants, including contracts with other non-profits, will be required to submit, sign, and comply with all requests at recertification time. If they do not comply eviction processes will begin.

MODIFIED OPINION

2020-001: The Organization did not perform tenant income certifications on a timely basis (7 tenants), all income was not verified (4 tenants), and leases were not signed. For the incorrect income errors, if the correct income was used, the tenant would still qualify. Under the HOME program requirements, tenants income is to be certified at least annually on the anniversary of the tenant?s move-in date. The Organization should perform the certifications on a timely basis, obtain the required missing certifications, and obtain all required signatures on the leases. For those tenants not cooperating, eviction procedures should be instituted. Response: The Organization underwent a staff change during the year and, accordingly before the change, information was not completed thoroughly or completely and/or there was difficulty obtaining tenant cooperation on the certifications resulting in late or no certifications. The Organization has improved its certification process to obtain more timely and complete certifications.
