These changes have not been approved by HUD.

Management began the process of requesting HUD approval for these changes but did not receive approval from HUD before making the changes.

Corrective Action Plan

2025-001 - Management Fees Name of contact person - Vicky Dwyer, CFO, Great Lakes Management Company Corrective action - Management began the process of requesting these changes from HUD prior to when the changes went into effect, working through the mortgage company. However, due to turnover at the mortgage company, the request for approval by HUD was never sent to HUD. As a result, management is now currently in the process of working with HUD, the mortgage company, and ownership’s lawyer to obtain all necessary approvals. Proposed completion date - Management has put in the necessary requests with HUD and the mortgage company to receive the necessary approvals, and the finding will be corrected once HUD has issued its approval or other response to management.
