Units under HAP contract that fail to meet HQS, the PHA must require the owner to correct any life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours after the inspections and all other HQS deficiencies within 30 calendar days or within a specified PHA‐approved extension. If the owner does not correct the cited HQS deficiencies within the specified correction period, the PHA must stop (abate) HAPs beginning no later than the first of the month following the specified correction period or must terminate the HAP contract. The owner is not responsible for a breach of HQS as a result of the family’s failure to pay for utilities for which the family is responsible under the lease or for tenant damage. For family‐caused defects, if the family does not correct the cited HQS deficiencies within the specified correction period, the PHA must take prompt and vigorous action to enforce the family obligations (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.404). Context: We selected a sample of 8 failed inspections that occurred during the fiscal year from a population of 16 total for the year. Out of the 8 samples selected, 6 of those lacked the proper documentation of a follow up for the failed inspection within the prescibed time frame above. Cause: Controls over compliance associated with the Authority’s HQS Enforcement are inadequate to detect these errors. Effect: The Authority is non‐compliant with the federal regulations over this federal program, this could potentially result in significant operating and financial penalties. Recommendations: We suggest the Authority structure a system capable of properly overseeing compliance with regulations relative to these grants as well as maintaining more accurate and complete documentation of adherence to compliance. Management Views: Management agrees with the audit finding.

Corrective Action Plan

The Housing Choice Voucher Program Manager, Shannel R. Lampkins, will pull a bi-monthly list of failed inspections to ensure that there is a procedural follow up to both participants and landlords and that the authority will follow its own policy and HUD Regulation to enforce Housing Quality Standard under program rules and regulations.

Corrective Action Plan

Please Note: I, Shannel R. Lampkins, HCV Manager, wanted to make mention about the content of the finding, it stated during the fiscal year there was a total of 16 failed inspections. The report provided was a list of failed inspections that never passed inspection and the authority was not aware that it should have selected a more accurate report to provide for the selection. Response: The Housing Choice Voucher Program Manager, Shannel R. Lampkins, will pull a bimonthly list of failed inspections to ensure that there is a procedural follow up to both participants and landlords and that the authority will follow its own policy and HUD Regulation to enforce Housing Quality Standard under program rules and regulations.
