The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Inspector General audited the Omaha Nebraska Housing Authority (Authority) to determine whether the Authority (1) obligated Recovery Act grant funds in accordance with Recovery Act requirements and applicable U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rules, (2) expended Recovery Act grant funds in accordance with Recovery Act requirements and applicable HUD rules, and (3) accurately and completely reported the Recovery Act grant information to Recovery.gov. We selected the Authority’s capital fund grant awarded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) for review because the Authority received a formula grant of more than $5 million.

The Authority generally obligated and expended Recovery Act grant funds in accordance with Recovery Act requirements, but it did not accurately or completely report Recovery Act grant information to Recovery.gov. We recommended that HUD require the Authority to obtain training for its staff and management on requirements for reporting to Recovery.gov.
