Independent Auditors’ Report Board of Directors Lancaster City Housing Authority Lancaster, Pennsylvania Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Lancaster City Housing Authority (the Authority) which comprise the statement of net position as of September 30, 2013, and the related statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net position, and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Authority as of September 30, 2013, and the changes in financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis on pages 4 through 8 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements. The financial data schedules and statement and certification of program costs listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A‐133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non‐Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The financial data schedules, statement and certification of program costs, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the financial data schedules, statement and certification of program costs and schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 2, 2014 on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
3
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

LANCASTER CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Year Ending September 30, 2013

The mission of the Lancaster City Housing Authority (LCHA) is to improve the quality of life consistent with local, commonwealth, and federal statutes by providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing for low and moderate income individuals and families, retired persons, and the handicapped; recognizing the residents as our ultimate customer; fostering an increased supply of quality housing affordable to low and moderate income residents throughout Lancaster County; fostering development, ownership, and successful management of housing; taking a comprehensive approach that goes beyond bricks and mortar, to build links to social service and economic development organizations, and to assist neighborhood residents and community organizations in creating successful neighborhoods; administering rental assistance and related programs which allow people to afford and access the widest range of housing opportunities; providing support and referral services which enable families and individuals to comprehensively address their housing and social service needs and to become increasingly self‐sufficient. As management of the Lancaster City Housing Authority, we offer the readers of the Authority's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Authority for the year ended September 30, 2013. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the Authority's financial statements. Questions concerning any of the information provided in this report or requests for additional information should be addressed to the Executive Director, Lancaster City Housing Authority. Financial Highlights
• The assets of the Authority exceeded its liabilities as of September 30, 2013 by $11,003,781 (net position).
• The Authority's unrestricted cash balance as of September 30, 2013 was $2,903,349, representing an increase of $443,331 from the prior year. This change was due primarily to operating revenue exceeding operating expense; along with the use of the capital fund program to supplement operations.
• The Authority had $1,675,009 in Tenant Revenue, $8,123,991 in HUD PHA Operating Grants, and $438,715 of HUD Capital Grants for the year ended September 30, 2013.
Overview of the Financial Statements The financial statements included in this annual report are those of a special‐purpose government engaged in a business‐type activity. The following statements are included:
• Statement of Net Position ‐ reports the Authority's current financial resources (short‐term spendable resources) with capital assets and long‐term debt obligations,
• Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Change in Net Position ‐ reports the Authority's operating and non‐operating revenues by major source along with operating and non‐operating expenses and capital contributions.
• Statement of Cash Flows ‐ reports cash flows from operating, financing, and investing activities. The most important question asked about the Authority's finances is, "Is the Authority as a whole better or worse off as a result of the year's activities?"

The attached analysis of net position, revenues, and expenses is provided to assist with answering the above question. This analysis includes all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private sector companies. Accrual accounting recognizes revenues and expenses when earned and incurred regardless of when cash is received or paid. Our analysis also presents the Authority's net position and changes therein. You can think of the Authority's net position as the difference between what the Authority owns (assets) to what the Authority owes (liabilities). The change in net position analysis will assist the reader with measuring the health or financial position of the Authority. Over time, significant changes in the Authority's net position are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. To fully assess the financial health of any Authority the reader must also consider other non‐financial factors such as changes in family composition, fluctuations in the local economy, HUD‐mandated program administrative changes, and the physical condition of the Authority's capital assets. Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets The following factors were considered in preparing the Authority's budget for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014:
1. The uncertainty of a reduction of HUD funded subsidies.
2. The funding of the Housing Choice Voucher program for 2014 was essentially based on 2013 HAP Expense reported in the Voucher Management System. The Housing Authority anticipates being able to house an average of approximately 905 families based on appropriated Housing Assistance Payment funding plus HAP Reserves.
3. The Housing Authority continues to take steps and measures to keep costs under control and will utilize the Capital Fund grants to supplement operations. In the event of extraordinary and other unanticipated costs, the Authority's Unrestricted Net Position is currently sufficient to cover any shortfall.
Analysis of Net Position (Statement of Net Position) Total Assets for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $11,869,780 and $12,404,463, respectively. This represents a net decrease of $534,683 over the prior year. Current Assets decreased by $164,371 from the prior year. This reduction is primarily due a decrease in HUD Capital grant and Other Government account receivables offset by an increase in cash based on positive operating results. Long‐term receivables decreased by $4,106 due to the collection of fraud recovery receivables from the prior fiscal year. Current liabilities decreased from $711,567 for the year ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $465,402 for the year ended September 30, 2013. This was a decrease of $246,165. This decrease is the result of a reduction in accounts payable and accruals under the Capital Fund Program. Noncurrent Liabilities increased by $48,011.

Analysis of Revenues (Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Change in Net Position)
The Authority administers the following programs and the revenues generated from these programs for the year ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:
Central Office Cost Center 7,138$ Low Rent Public Housing (AMPs) 3,943,946
Section 8 Rental Voucher 6,441,155
Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation SRO 60,451Business Activities 90Shelter Plus Care 165,155
Total revenues 10,617,935$
Total Revenues for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $10,617,935 and $11,475,064, respectively. The change from 2012 to 2013 is due primarily to FEMA funds that were received in 2012 and decreased Capital Fund Grant activity.
Total Tenant Revenue increased by $138,460 because of maintained consistent leasing, leasing to higher income families, and increases in income for previously housed tenants.
Analysis of Expenses (Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Change in Net Position)
Total Expenses decreased by $218,134 for the year ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the year ended September 30, 2012.
The variance in Administrative expense reflects an increase in salaries and benefits; along with, additional spreading of office expenses and IT support.
Tenant Service expenditures decreased by $36,730 as compared to the year ended September 30, 2012. The decrease can be accounted for lower tenant activity costs.
Utilities expenditures decreased by $15,450 due to a decrease in water usage.
Maintenance expenditures decreased by $274,737, due primarily to casualty loss costs incurred from flood damage in the prior fiscal year.
Protective Services costs decreased from the prior year.

Year Ending September 30, 2013

General Expenses increased by $88,310. This is due primarily to higher insurance premiums and additional compensated absences expense incurred for a retiring staff person. Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) decreased because of lower funding appropriations. The increase in Depreciation Expense is due to an increase in the amount of capitalized cost being depreciated.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Introduction The Lancaster City Housing Authority (the Authority) was established for the purpose of engaging in the development, acquisition, and administrative activities of low‐income housing programs and other programs with similar objectives. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has direct responsibility for administering the low‐income housing programs under the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. HUD is authorized to enter into contracts with local housing authorities to provide funding to assist the local housing authorities in financing the acquisition, construction and/or leasing of housing units and to make annual contributions (subsidies) to the local housing authorities for the purpose of maintaining the low‐rent character of the local housing programs. Reporting Entity Consistent with guidance contained in generally accepted accounting standards promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the criteria used by the Authority to evaluate the possible inclusion of related entities (authorities, boards, councils, and so forth) within its reporting entity, are financial accountability and the nature and significance of the relationship. In determining financial accountability in a given case, the Authority reviews the applicability of the following criteria: The Authority is financially accountable for:
1. Organizations that make up its legal entity. 2. Legally separate organizations if Authority officials appoint a voting majority of the organization's
governing body and the Authority is able to impose its will on the organization or if there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific burdens on, the Authority as defined below. Impose its Will ‐ If the Authority can significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by, the organization. Financial Benefit or Burden ‐ If the Authority (1) is entitled to the organization's resources or (2) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide support to, the organization or (3) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization.
3. Organizations which are fiscally dependent on the Authority. Fiscal dependency is established if the organization is unable to adopt its own budget, levy taxes or set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without the approval of the Authority.
Based on the foregoing criteria, no additional entities are included in the accompanying basic financial statements.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Reporting Entity (continued) A summary of each of the programs administered by the Authority included in the financial statements is provided below to assist the reader in interpreting the financial statements. These programs constitute all programs subsidized by HUD and operated by the Authority.
Public Housing Agency Owned Housing Program The public housing agency owned housing program is designed to provide low‐cost housing within the city of Lancaster. Funding is provided by subsidies from HUD as well as from monthly rents charged to eligible residents based on family size, family income, and other determinants. On the financial data schedule, this program is recorded on the asset management project level. Public Housing Capital Fund Program The public housing capital fund program utilizes grants from HUD for capital and management activities, including modernization and development of public housing. On the financial data schedule, this program is combined with the operating fund at the asset management project level. Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy The section 8 moderate rehabilitation single room occupancy program provides rental assistance to homeless individuals. Under the program, HUD enters into annual contributions contracts with public housing agencies in connection with the moderate rehabilitation of residential properties that, when rehabilitation is completed, will contain multiple single room dwelling units. Shelter Plus Care Program The shelter plus care program provides rental assistance to homeless persons with disabilities and their families. Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Programs The Authority administers programs of rental assistance payments to private owners on behalf of eligible low‐income families under Section 8 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1974. The program provides payments covering the difference between the maximum rental on a dwelling unit, as approved by HUD, and the amount of rent contributed by a participating family. Funding for this program is provided by grants from HUD. Business Activities Program This program accounts for amounts allocated from state grant programs and excess operating reserves from Section 8 in prior years.
Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting represents the methodology utilized in the recognition of revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements. The accounting and reporting treatment applied is determined by the measurement focus.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Basis of Accounting (continued) The Authority operates as a proprietary fund type (enterprise fund) and measures and reports all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains, and losses using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. The Authority distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from non‐operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the Authority's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Authority are tenant income, HUD grants, and other operating income. Operating expenses include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non‐operating revenues and expenses. Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. Non‐exchange transactions, in which the Authority receives value without directly giving equal value in return, includes grants. Revenue from grants is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted, and expenditure requirements, in which resources are provided to the Authority on a reimbursement basis. Budgets Budgets are not legally adopted or legally required for financial statement preparation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Authority considers all certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Inventory The Authority's inventory is comprised of maintenance materials and supplies. Inventory is valued at cost and the Authority uses the first‐in/first‐out (FIFO) flow assumption in determining cost.

NOTE 1 ‐ SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Inventory (continued) The consumption method is used to record inventory. Under this method, the acquisition of materials and supplies is recorded initially in inventory accounts and charged as expenditures when used. Prepaid Assets Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond September 30, 2013, are recorded as prepaid items. Interprogram Receivables and Payables Interprogram receivables and payables arise from interprogram transactions and are recorded by all programs affected in the period in which transactions are executed. The interprogram receivables and payables have been eliminated in the preparation of the basic financial statements. Net Position Generally accepted accounting principles require the classification of net position into three components as described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets: This component of net position consists of all capital assets, reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
Restricted Net Position— This component of net position consists of restricted assets when constraints are placed on the asset by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, etc.
Unrestricted Net Position— This component consists of net position that does not meet the definition of "Net Investment in Capital Assets" or "Restricted Net Position."
Capital Assets and Depreciation The Authority's property, plant, and equipment with useful lives of more than one year are stated at historical cost (or estimated historical cost) and comprehensively reported in the basic financial statements. Donated assets are stated at fair value on the date donated. The Authority generally capitalizes assets with a cost of $1,000 or more as purchase and construction outlays occur. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the asset value or materially extend useful lives are not capitalized. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight‐line method. When capital assets are disposed of, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Capital Assets and Depreciation (continued) recorded in operations. Estimated historical costs of capital assets were derived, when information supporting historical costs was not obtainable, by adjusting current replacement cost back to the estimated year of acquisition. Estimated useful lives, in years, for depreciable assets are generally as follows:
Infrastructure 20 years Buildings and Improvements 15 – 40 years Furniture, Equipment, and Machinery 3 – 10 years
Compensated Absences The Authority accrues vacation and sick leave as a liability as the benefits are earned by the employees if it is probable that the employer will compensate the employees for the benefits through time off or some other means. Additional amounts are accrued for salary‐related payments associated with the payment of compensated absences using rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The Authority has accrued the employer's share of social security, Medicare taxes, and pension costs. New GASB Pronouncements In the current year, the Authority implemented GASB Statements No. 61 through 63 as follows:
GASB Statement No. 61, The Financial Reporting Omnibus‐an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 14 and No. 34, modifies certain requirements for inclusion of component units in the financial reporting entity. This includes the concept of financial burden or benefit on the relationship between the primary government and the component unit. The implementation of this new standard had no impact on the Authority’s 2013 financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre‐November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements incorporates into GASB authoritative literature certain accounting and financial reporting guidance previously included in FASB, APB, and AICPA guidance issued before November 30, 1989. The implementation of this new standard modified certain language in disclosures related to the applicable basis of accounting in the Authority’s 2013 financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position revised the financial reporting for elements of the financial statements as a consumption or acquisition of Net Position that are applicable to a future reporting period. These items are distinct from assets and liabilities. This statement also identified net position. The implementation of this new standard revised the presentation in the financial statements for those items identified as deferred outflows and inflows and revised the names and certain captioning of the statements.

NOTE 8 – PENSION PLAN
The Authority sponsors a money purchase pension plan for eligible employees, To be eligible, an employee must have attained age 20 and completed one year of service with the employer. There are no restrictions based on classification of employees. The Authority contributes and allocates to the account of each eligible participant 12% of such participant's compensation in that plan year up to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. All contributions to the plan are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of participating employees. The employer contributions that are made to the plan are credited to separate accounts established in each participant's name. The total contribution for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, was $183,494. Each participant shall acquire a vested and nonforfeitable percentage in his or her account balance attributable to employer contributions and the earnings thereon based on the following vesting schedule:
Years of Service Vesting Percentage 1 20 2 40 3 60 4 80
5 and after 100
All employees who attain age 62 become fully vested.
NOTE 9 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Authority offers its employees a 457 deferred compensation plan administered by a third party administrator. The plan, available to all employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to the employee or their beneficiaries until termination, retirement, death, or an unforeseeable emergency. All plan assets are recorded at market value at September 30, 2013.
The following is a summary of the activity in the plan for the year ended September 30, 2013:

SINGLE AUDIT REPORT

Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
Board of Directors of the Lancaster City Housing Authority Lancaster, Pennsylvania We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Lancaster City Housing Authority (the Authority), which comprise the statement of net position as of September 30, 2013 and the related statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated May 2, 2014. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Compliance with Requirements that Could Have a Direct and Material Effect on Each Major Program and on Internal
Control Over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A‐133
Board of Directors of the Lancaster City Housing Authority Lancaster, Pennsylvania Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Lancaster City Housing Authority’s (the Authority) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A‐133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Authority’s major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2013. The Authority’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors’ results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the Authority’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A‐133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non‐Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A‐133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Authority’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Authority’s compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the Authority complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2013.
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP www.cliftonlarsonallen.com

38
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance, which are required to be reported in accordance with OMB Circular A‐133 and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2013‐001 and 2013‐002. Our opinion on each major federal program is not modified with respect to these matters. The Authority’s responses to the noncompliance findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The Authority’s responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Authority is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Authority’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A‐133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2013‐001 and 2013‐002, that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
The Authority’s responses to the noncompliance findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The Authority’s responses were not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Criteria 24 CFR 982.201 requires tenants to declare citizenship status for all household members. Cause The Authority did not obtain all necessary Declaration of Section 214 status signatures for dependants prior to completing the reexamination.
