SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

During review of the Public and Indian Housing program, RBT noted that the Authority could not locate the Declaration of Trust documents for all properties of the Authority and, therefore, the status of the documents was indeterminable. Criteria: A current Declaration of Trust (DOT), in a form acceptable to HUD, must be recorded against all public housing property owned by PHAs that has been acquired, developed, maintained, or assisted with funds from the US Housing Act of 1937. Cause: The Authority did not have controls in place over Declarations of Trust sufficient to ensure the appropriate documents are current, recorded, and maintained for all properties owned by the Authority. Effect: The Authority is not in compliance with the Declaration of Trust requirement of the program. Questioned Costs: None identified. Perspective: The Authority could not locate a current DOT for any of the three properties selected for testing. Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority complete and maintain a Declaration of Trust in a form acceptable by HUD for all properties of the Authority and that the Authority establish controls over Declarations of Trust to ensure the forms are completed and current in the future. Auditee's Response: See corrective action plan.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

During review of the Public and Indian Housing program, RBT noted that the Authority was not appropriately documenting the controls over Eligibility and Environmental Contaminants and Remediation. Criteria: As a condition of receiving federal awards, the PHA agrees to comply with laws, regulations, and the provisions of grant agreements and contracts, and to also maintain internal control to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with these requirements. Cause: The Authority did not have a central, uniform location to document controls in place over Eligibility and Environmental Contaminants and Remediation. Effect: Potential noncompliance if a control is missed. Questioned Costs: None identified. Perspective: This is a systemic event. Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority establish a checklist for the Tenant Housing Representatives to use during the recertification process to ensure all compliance requirements are met. The checklist should be signed or initialed by the representative and maintained in the tenant's file. This checklist will serve as documentation that all compliance requirements were verified for the tenant. Auditee's Response: See corrective action plan.
