We audited the Boston Housing Authority’s public housing program to determine whether the physical condition of the Authority’s program units complied with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) and the Authority’s requirements.
HUD OIG is reviewing a housing authority in New York. The Authority owns and manages public housing units to serve low-income families. Our objective is to determine whether the Authority adequately managed lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards in its public housing.
Issue guidance to PHAs clarifying the timing of unit inspections and lead-based paint visual assessments to address the misinterpretation caused by the terms “annual” and “every 12 months.”
The purpose of this memorandum is to alert the U.S.
Work with HUD’s OLHCHH to provide technical assistance to the Authority’s staff to develop and implement procedures and controls for monitoring owners for compliance with HUD’s EBLL requirements and attempting to collaborate with local health departments to identify cases of EBLL in children under 6 years of age under its HCV Program.
Develop and implement procedures and controls for coordinating with public health departments and managing cases of children with EBLLs, including monitoring owners for compliance with the requirements of the LSHR.
Update publications and educational materials to owners to ensure that they understand their reporting responsibilities to HUD regarding confirmed cases of children with EBLLs.
Review its records to confirm whether it had cases of children with EBLLs during our audit period and work with the owner(s) of the HCV Program units to provide required documentation to HUD.
Provide documentation to support that HAP was appropriately paid to the owners for the 66 units that had more than one stop payment. If additional HAP was inappropriately paid, the Authority should pursue collection from the applicable owners or reimburse its HCV Program from non-Federal funds.
Provide evidence to HUD that it has improved its controls and procedures for its stop payment process to ensure that (1) payments to owners comply with its HCV Program administrative plan and HUD requirements and (2) it maintains documentation to support stop payments and resumption of those payments for each unit as applicable.
