Audit follow-up finds HCD recommendations largely implemented; committee discusses streamlining nonprofit grants
Summary
Staff reported all four recommendations from last year’s Housing and Community Development audit are completed or in progress. Committee members discussed issuing fewer, larger grants to reduce administrative burden and increase impact.
The Audit Committee reviewed follow-up work on the prior Housing and Community Development (HCD) audit. Staff reported that all four prior recommendations had either been completed or were in progress; a subset of actions remain tied to Mayor and Commission decisions or federal grant timelines.
Commissioner Meyers asked whether department staff had pushed back on implementation timelines; Internal Auditor Hassemer replied HCD was working toward progress on most recommendations. Committee members — including Commissioner Fisher — discussed the potential benefits of streamlining nonprofit awards by issuing fewer, larger grants to reduce administrative burden and increase impact. The follow-up memo and spreadsheet will be forwarded to the Mayor and Commission for awareness.
