Opportunities Exist for CPD To Improve Collection of Disaster Recovery Grantee Data for Non-Federal Match Activities
The U.S.
CMG Mortgage, Inc., Did Not Have a Sufficient Quality Control Program for FHA-Insured Loans
We performed an audit of CMG Mortgage, Inc., to evaluate its quality control (QC) program for originating and underwriting Single Family Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured loans. We selected CMG for review based on its loan volume and delinquency rate and because its rate of self-reporting loans to HUD when it identified fraud, material misrepresentations, and other material findings that it could not mitigate was below average for more than a 5-year period.We found that CMG’s QC program for originating and underwriting FHA-insured loans was not sufficient. 
The Boston Housing Authority Did Not Always Comply With HUD’s and Its Own Requirements for Its Public Housing Program Units
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.
Florida Home Rehabilitation & Reconstruction Program
HUD OIG is auditing the State of Florida’s home rehabilitation and reconstruction program. The State has spent majority of its funds for home rehabilitation and reconstruction activities; however, it has not completed a similar percentage of expected homes. Our audit objective is to assess (1) the State’s overall program progress and outcomes including the status of the funding, the number of homes assisted, and the cost of assistance, and (2) the workmanship quality of a sample of completed homes.
Management of Lead-Based Paint in a New York Public Housing Agency
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.
Grantees Were Delayed in Completing National Disaster Resilience Program Activities, but Remain On Track to Accomplish Goals
We audited the project activity status for 12 grantees that received funds under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) National Disaster Resilience (NDR) grant to determine whether the grantees have accomplished or are on track to accomplish the goals of the activities outlined in their action plans. We found that NDR grantees should be able to accomplish their program goals by leveraging deadline flexibilities that HUD offered.
