SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2023-001OTHER MATTERS

Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there was a unit that failed its inspection and did not pass within 30 days without penalty. Context: There were forty seven (47) units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of five (5) failed inspections, one (1) unit did not pass reinspection within 30 days. Housing assistance payments were not abated nor was the tenant relocated. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: The Authority's contract administrator for the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program was unable to complete the inspection in a timely basis due to lack of manpower. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement.

Finding 2024-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least biennially to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there was a unit that failed its inspection and did not pass within 30 days without penalty. Context: There were forty seven (47) units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of five (5) failed inspections, one (1) unit did not pass reinspection within 30 days. Housing assistance payments were not abated nor was the tenant relocated. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: The Authority's contract administrator for the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program was unable to complete the inspection in a timely basis due to lack of manpower. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement.

Corrective Action Plan

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has an interlocal agreement with a neighboring housing authority for administration of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program. The authority understands the reason for the finding, in that the unit did not pass reinspection within the required period without penalty. Previously a quality control sample of Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher files administered by the neighboring Housing Authority had been reviewed each month. This was with respect to the income calculation, specifically. The Authority will add a verification of inspection requirements to this process, however, effective 12/31/2024 the Authority has terminated the administration contract with the neighboring housing authority. The Authority has hired staff to focus on the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and compliance with program requirements. Heather Blough, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2025.

Eligibility
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYQUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

Based upon inspection of the Authority?s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: Of a sample size of twenty-eight (28) tenant files, the following information was unavailable for examination at the time of audit: ? Verification of income and assets was missing in one (1) file Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $10,978 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program is in non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Authority Response: The Authority has an interlocal agreement with a neighboring housing authority for administration of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program. It is the Authority's responsibility to monitor the agreements and verify adequate processing of compliance activities. The neighboring housing authority suffered a significant technical issue during the period of the effective date for the one file that did not have adequate documentation, which may have been a factor. The Authority intends to bring the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program back "in-house" soon, so it can better control administration of this significant program. In the interim, however, the Authority will be conducting quality control reviews monthly of a percentage of the Authority's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program participant files (in addition to the quality control reviews already being performed by the neighboring housing authority) to better monitor adequacy with compliance requirements.
