Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on January 7, 2026. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by July 7, 2026 (58 days ago).
What is a management decision? →2025-001: Debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified individual or entity Federal Department: Department of the Treasury Assistance Listing #: 21.027 Internal Controls Material Weakness Category of Finding – Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Criteria - Uniform Guidance requires that Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative determine whether any individual or entity receiving federal funds is currently debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified by the Department of the Treasury, or any other Federal department or agency, and report within 30 days. Based on this criteria, Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative was required to determine whether vendors selected to complete the construction of the housing project known as 545 Snelling LLC were debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified prior to making any payments to them. Condition - Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative could not produce documentation or did not perform any procedures to determine whether vendors that were selected were currently debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified. Context - We tested a sample of the vendors selected for the construction of 545 Snelling LLC. The results of our testing indicated that none of the vendors selected were suspended or debarred. Cause - Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative personnel did not retain the required documentation. Effect - Disbursement of federal funds to a person or entity that is currently debarred or suspended could occur and not be reported. Failure to report such a disbursement may result in required repayment of the federal award received by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative and render Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative ineligible to apply for additional federal awards in future funding rounds. Recommendation - We recommend that management implement a policy to test and retain results whether individuals or entities receiving funds are currently debarred or suspended, and to report the results if necessary. Auditee’s comments and response - Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative is currently updating its policies to require retaining documentation from checks that verify whether individuals or entities serving as vendors are debarred or suspended. Responsible party for corrective action: Chris LaTondressse, President and CEO

2023-001: Lack of Documentation for Unit Inspections Federal Departments: Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing #: 14.239 Internal Controls Significant Deficiency & Noncompliance Category of Finding – Special Tests and Provisions: Housing Quality Standards Criteria – During the period of affordability, the Organization must perform on-site inspections of rental housing occupied by tenants receiving HOME-assisted tenant-based rental assistance to determine compliance with housing quality standards. Condition – Personnel at the Organization were unable to produce documentation supporting the inspections for three of the six units tested. Cause – The Organization has an informal process for unit inspections. The documentation of the inspections was not always maintained. Effect – Housing quality standards may not be being maintained and needed repairs may not be made timely. Recommendation – We recommend that management create written unit inspection policies and procedures and inspections be kept in the file when they are completed. Auditee’s comments and response – The Organization changed management companies after June 30, 2023. The new management company has written policies and procedures and will ensure unit inspections are maintained in the tenant files.
