We audited the Housing Authority of the City of Long Beach’s (Authority) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. The Authority was selected based on its having received low housing quality standards indicator scores for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 under HUD’s Section Eight Management Assessment Program in addition to a lack of recent on-site reviews by HUD. The objective of the audit was to determine whether the Authority conducted housing quality standards inspections in accordance with HUD’s rules and regulations. We determined the Authority did not adequately enforce HUD’s housing quality standards. Of the 66 program units statistically selected for inspection, 56 did not meet minimum housing quality standards, and 29 of those units were in material noncompliance with housing quality standards. Based on our statistical sample, we estimate that over the next year, HUD will pay more than $5.9 million in housing assistance for units with material housing quality standards deficiencies. We recommend that HUD require the Authority to (1) implement adequate procedures and controls regarding its inspection process to ensure that all units meet HUD’s housing quality standards to prevent $5.9 million in program funds from being spent on units that are in material noncompliance with the standards, (2) create policies and procedures regarding quality control inspections, and (3) verify that the applicable owners have taken appropriate corrective action regarding the housing quality standards deficiencies identified during our inspections or take enforcement action.
