We audited the use of Supportive Housing Program funds by St. Vincent de Paul Village, Inc. (St. Vincent de Paul Village), because it is a large organization receiving more than $4 million in grants annually. Our objective was to determine whether St. Vincent de Paul Village used supportive housing grants in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements and the grant agreements.

St. Vincent de Paul Village generally administered its supportive housing program grants in accordance with HUD requirements. Identity-of-interest contracts between St. Vincent de Paul Village and its associated nonprofit, SVDP Management, Inc., were reasonable. Although contract documents did not include all clauses required by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-110, we found there to be no overall affect. Also, grant expenditures were eligible and supported in accordance with HUD requirements and the grant agreements, and adequate written procedures were in effect.
