As part of our strategic plan objective to assist the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) efforts to reduce rental assistance overpayments, we audited the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso's (Authority) Housing Choice Voucher program (program). The purpose of our audit was to determine whether the Authority properly administered its overall program. Specifically, we wanted to determine whether the Authority properly verified and calculated tenant income and eligibility. We found that the Authority properly administered its program and adequately verified tenant income and eligibility. In most instances, the Authority used HUD's Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system to determine income. However, in 3 of 22 randomly selected files the Authority did not use EIV, resulting in less than $6,000 in potential overpayments. We recommended that the Director of the Fort Worth Office of Public and Indian Housing require the Authority to repay $2,841 for the overpayment for two tenants and obtain support or repay $3,147 for the potential overpayment for one tenant.
