The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Winston-Salem (Authority) $3.9 million in formula-based capital funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). HUD’s Office of Inspector General evaluated the Authority’s capacity to administer these funds. We found that the Authority generally has the capacity to administer these funds but needed to improve some financial controls. Although the Authority properly procured and completed its previous capital fund grants for several years, it failed to adequately document about $2 million in expenditures and incurred $81,869 of ineligible costs. We recommend that HUD increase oversight of the Authority’s administration of ARRA funds and require it to implement appropriate financial policies, procedures, and controls. In addition, the Authority must provide support for more than $2 million in unsupported capital fund reimbursements or repay the funds and repay $81,869 in ineligible capital fund expense reimbursements.
