Provide documentation to support that program activities within NHSLA’s interfund were for eligible NSP2 activities or repay the program $3,425,679 from non-Federal funds.

Return the outstanding balance of $529,745 owed to NSP2. In addition, cease the practice of depositing NSP2 funds in non-NSP2 accounts and making them available to be used or borrowed for non-NSP2 activities.

Develop and implement sufficient financial procedures and controls to ensure that program income is appropriately recorded and properly transferred to its NSP2 account.

Ensure it has sufficient staffing and capacity to administer the NSP2 program, including obtaining training for its staff to understand HUD requirements and how to use the DRGR system.

Provide supporting documentation to show whether the outstanding liability of $324,478 is correctly classified as an NSP2 liability. If not, HUD should ensure that NHSLA corrects its NSP2 cost reimbursement summary for the 12 months ending June 30, 2018, to reclassify the expenses to a non-NSP2 program. Such funds would be considered funds to be put to better use.

Develop and implement a HUD-approved cost allocation plan to properly account for indirect program costs.

Establish written payroll policies and procedures in accordance with program requirements for the tracking, recording, and maintenance of direct costs to ensure that time distribution records are in place to support the allocation of charges.

Develop and implement additional procedures and controls to ensure that HUD procurement requirements are followed.

Add to FHA databases the information necessary to ensure that the required flood insurance is in place at loan origination, including flood zone, flood insurance type, flood insurance amount, and site value of the property, and include system checks that prevent endorsement of loans without the required flood insurance to put at least $432.6 million to better use by avoiding potential future costs to the FHA insurance fund.
