SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

Program Name Housing Choice Vouchers "Internal Control" Significant Deficiency N Special Tests ALN(s) 14.871 2025-001 HQS Enforcement Criteria For units under HAP contract that fail to meet HQS, if the reported deficiency is life-threatening, the PHA must, within 24 hours of notification, both inspect the housing unit and notify the owner if the life-threatening deficiency is confirmed. The owner must then make the repairs within 24 hours of PHA notification. If the reported deficiency is non-life-threatening, the PHA must, within 15 days of notification, both inspect the unit and notify the owner if the deficiency is confirmed. The owner must then make the repairs within 30 days of notification from the PHA or within any PHA-approved extension. (24 CFR section 982.405(d)). 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. Condition During our audit, we identified seven (7) failed HQS that did not receive a pass for several months and no rent abetment process was started or enforced during that time period. Context The HQS population was 168 failed inspection. We selected a sample of 17 inspection and identified of those 17 reviewed, 7 did not obtain a re-inspection pass within the Criteria noted above and no rent abetment process was enforce on landlord. Cause The non-compliance appears to stem from oversight or procedural lapses in the enforcement of HQS within the Housing Voucher Cluster program. This may be due to inadequate training, monitoring, or failure to adhere to established protocols. Effect The Authority is non‐compliant with the federal regulations over this federal program, this could potentially result in operating and financial penalties. Recommendations Implement more stringent procedures for monitoring HQS compliance, including timely reinspection and enforcement of HAP abatement or voucher cancellation. Enhance training for staff involved in the HQS process to ensure a thorough understanding of compliance requirements. Establish a system of regular audits to identify and rectify lapses in HQS enforcement promptly. Management Views The auditee acknowledges the deficiency in enforcing Housing Quality Standards (HQS) as highlighted in the finding. In response to this issue, the management commits to implementing a comprehensive Corrective Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

At the time of the most recent independent audit by Smith Marion conducted in December 2025, it was found that RRHA was not completing voucher re-inspections within the required timeframe when an inspection failed. Health and safety inspections are required to be reinspected within 48 hours, and other inspections must be completed within 30 days. In the past RRHA only had one inspector on staff who tracked all inspections. Due to an increase in portability vouchers a second caseworker was hired in 2025. However, a new system was not created to track both caseworker’s inspections. This resulted in RRHA overlooking timelines and not completing inspections in a timely manner as required. Part of this was also related to miscommunication between the two case workers. To ensure inspections are completed as required by HUD regulation, in the future, each caseworker/inspector is now required to schedule a follow-up inspection appointment at the same time as the failed inspection report is created. Additionally, a separate shared spreadsheet has been created to track failed inspection and verify that each one is being completed within the required time. With these new steps in place we can indicate if a failed inspection needs a 24-hour and/or a 30- day re-inspection and if a follow-up inspection has been already scheduled. RRHA also increased the scheduled time/ days from once a week to two days a week for inspection since we now have two HCV employees/ inspectors available. Effective immediately the process for inspection has been updated and both HCV employees are completing inspections.

Corrective Action Plan

During the time of the SEMAP submission the housing authority had an unexpected change of staff. This contributed to the agency overlooking the signing of the required board resolution to approve the SEMAP. To keep this from occurring again, RRHA will not submit the SEMAP certification to HUD until the resolution has been signed.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

We noted that the PHA identified defects during annual HQS inspections which require corrective action within 30 calendar days following the discovery of such conditions. However, the PHA was unable to provide documentation that it reinspected the dwelling residences to confirm corrective action had taken place within the correct corrective period. And in two instances failed to abate the housing assistance payments during the period non-correction. Context: During our testing, we noted that 2 out of 20 inspection files reviewed did not receive a reinspection with 24 hours or 30 days. Cause: The Housing Authority failed to properly monitor the HQS process to ensure the PHA's reinspection policies were being followed and landlords not completing the defect did not have Housing Assistance Payments abated. Effect:Non- Compliance Recommendations: We recommend that the Housing Authority enforce its policies and procedures pertaining to re-inspection of leased units to ensure that such activities are performed in a timely manner. Management Views: Management agrees and has a corrective action plan detailing the course of action to be taken in the next fiscal year.

Management?s Corrective Action Plan: Management received an audit finding related to RRHA not reinspecting two units after the units failed inspection, as required by program regulations. RRHA will implement quality controls which will include developing a weekly inspection list, that will show whether inspections passed or failed. If they fail the inspector will log in the date they fail. Each week the inspector will be responsible for reviewing any failed inspections and complete the one requiring inspection. Supervisor will review inspection list randomly to make sure RRHA remains in compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: RRHA will complete the new inspection quality control process within two weeks as of this date. We anticipate that this will correct the deficiencies in the inspection process. Contact Person: Ebby Green, Executive Director 1505 Lance Lane Round Rock, Texas 78664 ebby@roundrockha.org

Corrective Action Plan

Anticipated Completion Date: Completed June 2019 The RRHA is required to submit their audit within nine months of the end of the fiscal year. RRHA?s audit was due March 31, 2020. RRHA failed to submit the audit by the deadline. It was submitted June 2019. The delay was caused by the change of staffing. This included the executive director and the staff CPA. With the change of these positions and no executive director on staff, it was difficult to submit the audit by the required deadline. The RRHA is scheduled to complete the 2018-2020 by the March 31, 2020 deadline and submit it as required. Management will closely monitor and improve quality controls for the VMS reporting each month. This will prevent incorrect numbers from being reported. RRHA will also continue to work with HUD to improve its financial reporting processes.
