SUBJECT: The Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority, Newport News,
Virginia, Did Not Effectively Operate Its Housing Choice Voucher Program
HIGHLIGHTS
What We Audited and Why
We audited the Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority鈥檚
(Authority) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program (program). The audit
was part of the activities in our fiscal year 2006 annual audit plan. We selected
the Authority based upon our analysis of various risk factors relating to the
housing authorities under the jurisdiction of HUD's Baltimore field office. Our
objective was to determine whether the Authority managed its program in
accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
requirements.
What We Found
The Authority often did not operate its program in accordance with HUD
requirements and regulations. It often failed to ensure that its program housing
stock met housing quality standards, did not adequately support housing
assistance payments, and incorrectly calculated housing assistance payments. OfJump to an indexed page (31 of 31)
