Eligibility
MATERIAL WEAKNESS

Knox MHA made a decision as an Agency to automatically extend the voucher time to assist the participant in successfully utilizing their voucher without needing to request an extension. Most or all of the 5 voucher holders were disabled and successful in finding a unit between 61– 120 days prior the voucher expiration. The strategy was applied to all participants receiving a voucher. In addition, it was implemented to lessen staff burden since the Agency was experiencing staffing challenges. Lastly, the market for available units was very limited for the area.

Corrective Action Plan

Changes have already been made prior to the issuance of the finding above. As of June 26, 2026 Knox MHA has reverted to only issuing the voucher for 60 days and will require any participant needing an extension make the request in writing. The rental market is turning as we are seeing more available units available.

Reporting
MATERIAL WEAKNESS

Knox MHA employed a fee accountant to assist in preparing the Hinkle report, assistance with GASB entries, footnotes and REAC submission. It was an oversight of Management and not caught until brought to our attention by the auditor. Had I been aware of this at the time I would have made the correction as I know this is not permitted nor an entry that should be made.

Had I been aware of this at the time I would have made the correction as I know this is not permitted nor an entry that should be made.

Corrective Action Plan

Discussions have been had with the fee accountant to provide more detailed reviews and further discussions prior to submissions. This is NOT a typical entry nor one I would have approved. This will be corrected by June 30, 2026 to ensure that this does not occur in future audits. I also plan to explore other options for future submissions.
