Level of services funded by AmeriCorps were supplemented by the Neighborhood House but not to the extent that they equaled or exceeded the aggregate expenditures for the program in the previous year. Cause: The sources of supplementing the level of services funded by the federal program decreased during the current year due to the remaining effects COVID has had on the nation. Effect: Services provided by the federal program were underfunded, and therefore, were not able to assist as many individuals. Recommendation: We recommend that the funds needed to supplement the level of services funded by AmeriCorps be monitored so that the requirement for aggregate program expenditures in the current fiscal year equals or exceeds aggregate expenditures for the program in the previous year is satisfied. Management Response: The Neighborhood House, like many organizations, was impacted by the effects of COVID. The effects in the current year resulted in an inability to obtain in-kind contributions to the level necessary to meet AmeriCorps criteria. The Neighborhood House is investigating alternate sources of contributions and will monitor the requirement annually.
