New York-based Grantee ESG-CV Program Fraud Risk Management Assessment

HUD OIG is auditing a New York-based grantee's Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG-CV) program. The CARES Act provided nearly $4 billion in special ESG funds to grantees to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic and supports activities, such as, rapid re-housing, homelessness prevention programs, and emergency shelters for people experiencing homelessness.  Our objective is to assess the grantee's fraud risk framework, that encompasses control activities to prevent, detect, and respond to fraud.
