Auditors say Housing and Community Development has made progress; recommend larger awards to reduce workload
Summary
Audit follow-up shows HCD has completed or is progressing on four recommendations. Auditors suggested raising minimum award sizes and issuing fewer, larger grants to reduce administrative burden.
Audit staff reviewed follow-up work for the Housing and Community Development (HCD) audit and reported that the department has either completed several recommendations or is actively working on others, some of which depend on mayoral or federal timing. "They've either completed those recommendations or they are in the middle of progress," the auditor said when summarizing the follow-up.
During discussion, the auditor pointed to a possible operational improvement: reducing the number of small awards and issuing larger grants to cut the number of separate technical-assistance relationships. He said, "maybe you make 15 at greater amounts," noting the same total funding could require fewer administrative interactions if awards were larger.
