Housing agency reports clean audit, says federal award findings cleared after corrective actions

Kaye Giunta, assistant director of finance for the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, reported to the Board of Supervisors that SHRA's 2024 financial statements received an unmodified (clean) audit opinion and that the single audit identified one financial reporting finding and five federal award findings requiring corrective action. Giunta said staff implemented file corrections, strengthened management oversight, expanded staff training and improved monitoring; the five federal award findings were cleared as part of the single audit for the year ending 2025.

During follow‑up, a board member asked what it meant that files were "corrected." Executive Director Chris Warren explained that the files are client case files and that corrections typically addressed missed paperwork or signatures; staff verified the completed files with the third‑party auditor. Supervisors thanked staff for implementing corrective actions and noted the JPA expectation to return within six months; SHRA staff acknowledged their update was slightly beyond that window due to agenda scheduling but said they were providing the required follow‑up details.
