Corrective Action Plan

August 20, 2024 Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington DC East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended March 31, 2024. SSC CPAs, PA 3320 Clinton Parkway Court, Suite 120 Lawrence, KS 66047 Audit Period: Year ended March 31, 2024 The finding from March 31, 2024, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS – MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS 2024-001 Compliance and Controls over Eligibility of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program (Significant Deficiency) Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program Name: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Award Period: March 31, 2024 Recommendation: The Board of Directors and management review the controls over the eligibility process to ensure the process is being followed and implemented correctly. Action Taken (Unaudited): ECKAN will create a policy in its Admin Plan, using any new HOTMA rules that may apply, to require zero-income forms in client files for households claiming zero-income. This Admin Plan edit will be presented to the ECKAN Board of Trustees for approval. Effective immediately (as of date of file inspection) ECKAN will use the Zero Income Verification Form for any new families claiming zero income. This had been a practice within the department but had not been formalized or provided oversight. ECKAN will also take steps to ensure current client files are searched for any families who claimed zero income prior and either locate the form or initiate contact with the family to obtain a completed form. A tracking spreadsheet will be created to ensure a complete list of zero-income households is maintained and monitored by the ECKAN housing staff. Anticipated completion date is March 31, 2025. If the Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this plan, please call Crystal Anderson at 785-242-7450. Sincerely yours, Crystal Anderson Crystal Anderson CEO East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation
