The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Inspector General audited Volunteers of America’s (VOA) Whispering Pines Senior Village’s Green Retrofit program funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Our objective was to determine whether VOA used its Whispering Pines Green Retrofit Recovery Act funds in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Recovery Act rules and regulations and accurately reported Recovery Act cost and jobs information. We selected the project, located in Estacada, OR, because it was the largest Green Retrofit project in our region, based on the amount awarded of $1.023 million, and because we had not previously audited this program. VOA’s Whispering Pines Senior Village, Estacada, OR, generally used and reported its Green Retrofit Recovery Act funds in accordance with HUD and Recovery Act rules and regulations. It did not always accurately report Recovery Act cost and jobs information. However, those inaccuracies did not cause a material error in reporting.
