The Finance Committee meeting addressed financial statements, including budget variances such as over pacing of other administrative expenses, telephone expenses, and tenant screening costs. Discussion focused on the anticipated need for approximately $1 million in State Family (SF) funding in December to impact around 63 families if funding is not secured, and plans were initiated to request a meeting with the County Board Chair regarding this shortfall. Additionally, the committee reviewed the active enforcement of Tenant Payment Agreements (TPA) to collect subsidy overpayments, noting that intent to terminate letters have been sent to non-compliant tenants, resulting in approximately $28k collected thus far.
