Corrective Action Plan

The finding from the September 30, 2025 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. The City of Pensacola Housing Department’s direct action in response to the finding is to meet with the Housing Placement Specialists to discuss the finding, review Pensacola Housing’s Administrative Plan and 24 CFR 982.516, clarify the proper procedures for accepting self-declared income, and monitoring for ongoing compliance. Program Manager Nicole Louie will randomly select files from each Housing Placement Specialist’s caseload to complete a quality control review over the next 60 days to ensure proper income-verification procedures are followed. In addition, SEMAP (Section 8 Management Assessment Program) quality control is conducted quarterly by the Housing Office Coordinator as part of the self-scoring assessment submitted to HUD. Any non-compliance identified during the SEMAP quarterly review will be brought to the attention of the Section 8 Program Manager and the Housing Placement Specialist. Name of Contact Person for Completing Corrective Action Plan: Nicole Louie, Program Manager 850-858-0316 nlouie@cityofpensacola.com Expected date of completion is April 30, 2026 FINDING 2025-001 During the review of 40 tenant files, there were three instances a tenant file did not document why third-party income verification was not utilized. After review, the Housing Placement Specialists calculated the income correctly, and there was no resulting over subsidy. However, their notation regarding the acceptance of self-declared income was not captured electronically in the Housing Pro software. Prior to transitioning to electronic files, such notations were documented in the physical file. Moving forward, Housing Eligibility Specialists will be required to record all notes regarding self-declared income directly in the Housing Pro software.
