The Board of Commissioners
Jersey City Housing Authority
Jersey City, New Jersey 07036
The Real Estate Assessment Center (“REAC”) of the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) requires all public housing authorities to
submit within nine months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of audited
financial statements, presented in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and audited in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
by a firm of independent certified public accountants. We are pleased to submit the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) of the Jersey City Housing Authority
(the “Authority” or “JCHA”) for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of
the Authority. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the
completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To
provide for a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of
the Authority has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed both to protect its assets from loss, theft, or misuse and, to compile
sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Authority's financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should
not outweigh its benefits, the Authority's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that
the financial statements will be free of material misstatements. As management, we
assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and
reliable in all material respects.
The Authority's financial statements have been audited by Fallon and Larsen LLP, a
firm of licensed certified public accountants. The purpose of the independent audit is to
2 
 
provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Authority for the year
ended March 31, 2015, taken as a whole, are free of material misstatement.
The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. The independent auditors issued an unqualified
opinion on the Authority's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015,
indicating that they were fairly presented, in all material respects, and in conformity
with GAAP. The independent auditors' report is presented as the first component of
the financial section of this report. The independent audit of the financial statements of the
Authority is a component of the federally mandated “Single Audit”, which is designated to
meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and
analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's
Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A''). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement
MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Authority's MD&A can be found
immediately following the independent auditors' report.
Profile of the Authority
The Authority was created by a City of Jersey City ordinance in accordance with the
State of New Jersey Local Housing Authorities Law in 1938 (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A). The
governing body of the Authority is composed of seven members, five members
appointed by the governing body, one by the mayor and one by the Commissioner of
Community Affairs of the State of New Jersey.
The Authority is the second largest public housing authority in New Jersey charged
with providing low-income residents of Jersey City with decent, safe and affordable
housing. As of March 31, 2015 the Authority owns and operates 2,079 low-rent Public
Housing rental ACC units located in 9 Asset Management Properties (AMPs), 126
non-federal units in two AMPs and 742 Mixed-Finance Units of which 516 ACC
Units, consists of 10 AMPs.
HUD has also contracted with the Authority for the support of 3,969 Housing Choice
Vouchers. Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the Authority administers
contracts with private landlords owning rental property. The Authority subsidizes the
family’s rent through housing assistance payment made to the landlord. The program
3 
 
is administered under an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD.
The Mission of the Jersey City Housing Authority is to develop and manage Housing
of Choice of the highest standards, which is safe, affordable, sustainable and
accessible; and, in partnership with outside organizations, foster resident
responsibility and self-sufficiency.
The Authority's basic financial statements consist of a single enterprise fund,
which includes the following programs:
• Low Rent Housing (“LRH”) Program
• Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”) Programs (HCV, Mainstream, VASH
etc.)
• Public Housing Capital Fund (“CFP”) Program
• Resident Opportunity and Self-sufficiency (“ROSS”) Program
• Revitalization of Severely Distressed Public Housing (“HOPE VI”) Program
• Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities
• Shelter Plus Care Program (“SPC”)
• Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (“SRO”)
• State and Local Programs
Please refer to Note 1 to the financial statements for a description of Authority
programs. For further analysis, we have also included supplemental financial
schedules for the programs individually, which can be found following the notes to the
basic financial statements.
Economic Factors
As a public housing authority ("PHA"), the Authority's primary source of funding
is from US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The amount
of funding received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development is
affected by Congressional housing appropriation, legislation and the federal budget.
The Authority continues to be challenged with unpredictable Federal funding levels
from HUD. Public Housing programs will continue to operate at a deficit due to the
low Project Expenses Level (PEL) funding and the proration set by HUD based on
the House Committee appropriations cut backs every year.
On November, 2005, HUD’s interim operating fund rule became effective. The rule
amended the Public Housing Operating Fund Program's regulations and provided a new
formula for the distribution of operating subsidies to PHAs. This rule converted public
4 
 
housing to an asset management based system of budgeting, accounting and funding. It
also required PHAs to convert to project based management within five years of the
effective date. The change was driven by a ‘Harvard Cost Study’ and the real estate
property concept of asset management, in which a property manager considers both the
short-term needs and the long-term positioning of real estate assets.
Under the interim rule the JCHA was a decliner. For PHAs which would not benefit
from the new formula funding (decliners), HUD provided additional incentive funding
called the ‘Transition Funding’, for early conversion to Project-based on a sliding
scale over a five year period. The JCHA has been deemed compliant under “Asset
Based Management” regulations and has stopped the annual loss subsequently. The
Authority is taking steps to reduce the impact of future deficits through continued
compliance with asset based management, energy conservation, and various other
expense reduction measures.
Financial Results and Outlook
The Authority's operating loss as of March 31, 2015 was $4,073,086 as compared to
$7,516,850 for the previous year. Operating loss decreased by 3,443,764 or 45.81%
primarily due to the reduction of operating expenses in the amount of $4,431,606
which was offset by the reduction of operating revenues in the amount of $987,742.
Improve Central Office and Administrative Efficiency. Through the years, the
Authority has taken aggressive measures to contain spending through various expense
reduction programs. Operating Budget reflects initiatives through which central
office and administrative office activities will be streamlined and resources
redirected to the frontline. Although the Authority has been taking measures to control
costs, savings have been offset by increases in certain other costs such as employee
entitlements including pension, and health insurance.
Energy Conservation. The Authority entered into a lease purchase agreement on
November 23, 2010 for energy savings equipment expiring in November 2025 with
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. for capital equipment lease program. Under the
terms of the lease, interest accrued at 5.32% from lease inception through May 2012 at
time payments of $69,950 including interest at 2.95% will be made through
termination.
The bonds mature at various times through November 2025 bearing interest at 2.95%.
The Authority is currently in the process of refinancing these bonds for an even lower
interest rate of 2.2397%.
5 
 
Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). In 1999, HUD instituted the Public
Housing Assessment System ("PHAS”) process which measures the performance of
PHAs in four categories: Physical Assessment, Financial Condition, Management
Operations, and Resident Satisfaction. The Financial component is used to determine
if the PHA has sufficient financial resources and is managing those resources
effectively to support its operations.
During 2011, HUD issued the PHAS Interim Rule, which revised the previous PHAS
guidelines. Under the PHAS Interim Rule, the performance of PHAs is measured in the
following categories: Physical Assessment, Financial Condition, Management
Operations and Capital Fund Program. One significant change pertains to the financial
performance. Under the interim Rule, HUD will use indicators that cover both the
Financial Condition and Management Operations components to assess the financial
performance of PHAs. The overall score for Fiscal Year End of March 31, 2014, under
the Interim Rule was 60, which designates the Authority as a Sub-Standard Performer.
The final PHAS score for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015 will not be received
from HUD until after the submission and review and the approval of the audited Financial
Data Schedule by REAC. JCHA is projecting a score of 71 for Fiscal Year Ended March
31, 2015.
Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). The SEMAP measures
the performance of the public housing agencies (PHAs) that administer the Housing
Choice Voucher program in 14 key areas. The 14 key indicators of PHA performance
are: (i) Proper selection of applicants from the housing choice voucher waiting list,
(ii) Sound determination of reasonable rent for each unit leased, (iii) Establishment of
payment standards within the required range of the HUD fair market rent, (iv)
Accurate verification of family income, (v) Timely annual reexaminations of family
income, (vi) Correct calculation of the tenant share of the rent and the housing
assistance payment, (vii) Maintenance of a current schedule of allowances for tenant
utility costs, (viii) Ensure units comply with the housing quality standards before
families enter into leases and PHAs enter into housing assistance contracts, (ix) Timely
annual housing quality inspections, (x) Performing of quality control inspections to
ensure housing quality, (xi) Ensure that landlords and tenants promptly correct housing
quality deficiencies, (xii) Ensure that all available housing choice vouchers are used,
(xiii) Expand housing choice outside areas of poverty or minority concentration, and
(xiv) Enroll families in the family self-sufficiency (FSS) program as required and help
FSS families achieve increases in employment income.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Board of Commissioners
Jersey City Housing Authority:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Jersey City Housing Authority ("the Authority") as
of and for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the accompanying table of contents.
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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with 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 and audit requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department
of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 auditor’s 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.
10
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (continued)
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Jersey City Housing Authority as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows for the years 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 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 audits 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 audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Jersey City Housing Authority's basic financial statements. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
awards, as required by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments,
and Non-Profit Organizations is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The accompanying financial data schedule is also not a required part of the financial
statements and are presented for the purposes of additional analysis as required by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the financial data schedule 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 audits 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 schedule of expenditures
of federal awards and the financial data schedule are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements as a whole.
11
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (continued)
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 31, 2015 on our
consideration of the Jersey City Housing 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. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results 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 Jersey City Housing Authority's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
12
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing
on significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the Authority’s financial activity, and (c)
identify changes in the Authority’s financial position for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015
and 2014. Please read it in conjunction with the Authority’s financial statements.
Overview of the financial statements
The Authority’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Authority’s accounting records
are structured as an enterprise fund with revenues recognized when earned, rather than when
received. Expenses are recognized when incurred, not when they are paid. Capital assets are
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The accounting for enterprise
funds is similar to the accounting used by businesses. See the notes to the financial statements
for a summary of the Authority’s significant accounting policies.
Following the MD&A are the basic financial statements of the Authority together with notes,
which are essential to a full understanding of the data contained in the financial statements.
The Authority’s basic financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad
overview of the Authority’s finances.
The Statements of Net Position present information similar to a Balance Sheet. The
Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of the Authority. The
statement is presented in the format where assets, minus liabilities, equal net position. Assets
and liabilities are presented in order of liquidity, and are classified as current and non-current.
Net position is reported in three broad categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets: This component 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 consists of assets that are constrained by limitations
placed on their use by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, laws,
regulations, etc.
Unrestricted Net Position: This component consists of assets that are not restricted and do
not meet the definition of Net Investment in Capital Assets.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
13
Overview of the financial statements (continued)
The Statements of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Net Position present
information showing how the Authority’s net position changed during the year. This statement
includes operating revenues, such as rental income, HUD operating grants, operating
expenses, such as administrative, tenant services, utilities, maintenance, and depreciation, and
non-operating revenue and expenses, such as capital grant revenue, investment income,
interest expense, and gains or losses from the sale or disposition of capital assets. The focus of
the statement is the change in net position, which is similar to net income or loss for a business
entity.
The Statements of Cash Flows report net cash provided by or used by operating activities,
non-capital financing activities, capital and related financing activities and investing activities.
The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the information included in the financial statements.
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report includes two
types of supplementary information: required supplementary information and other
supplementary information. Required supplementary information must be included to conform
to generally accepted accounting principles. Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the
required supplementary information.
Other supplementary information is not required by generally accepted accounting principles but
is presented for additional analysis purposes or to meet other requirements. The financial data
schedule is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The
schedule of expenditures of federal awards is required by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget and Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.
Program information
Low Income Public Housing: The Authority owns and manages 2,079 units and 516 mixed
finance ACC units managed by private management companies. Under the Low Income Public
Housing program, the Authority rents units that it owns, to low-income households. The
program is operated under an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD, and HUD
provides Operating Subsidy and Capital Funding to enable the Authority to provide housing at a
rent that is based on 30% of household income. The Conventional Public Housing Program
includes the Capital Fund Program, which is the primary funding source for physical and
management improvements to the Authority’s properties.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
14
Program information (continued)
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: HUD has contracted with the Authority for the support
for 3,969 Housing Choice Vouchers. Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the Authority
administers contracts with landlords that own rental property. The Authority subsidizes the
family’s rent through a Housing Assistance Payment made to the landlord. The program is
administered under an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD. HUD provides Annual
Contribution Funding to enable the Authority to structure a lease that sets the participants’ rent
at 30% of household income.

Financial position and analysis (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased by $1,511,948 or 34.13%.  This is primarily due to the
use of $372,904 in operating activities, $528,033 in capital and related financing activities,
$582,455 in investing activities and contributed $28,556 to restricted cash accounts.
Other Current Assets increased by $746,853 or 52.69% primarily due to increases in amounts
due from HUD regarding Housing Choice Voucher program funding.
Non-current Assets decreased by $2,249,062 or 1.41% primarily due to depreciation expense
exceeding capital asset purchases for the year by $4,286,276 which was offset by a $2,008,658
increase in notes receivable and the related accrued interest.
Current Liabilities decreased by $2,053,660 or 37.75% primarily due to a substantial decrease
in accrued utilities at year-end.
Non-current liabilities decreased by $1,888,536 or 8.79% due primarily to payments on long
term debt and reduction of compensated absences owed.

Tenant Revenues decreased by $1,042,324 or 10.17% primarily because Montgomery
Gardens, a public housing development, saw a decline in tenant rents of $923,274 as several
units were taken offline as part of a major redevelopment program for the project.
Capital Grants increased by $183,028 or 5.40% due to more capital improvement works and

19
Budgetary Analysis (continued)
Operating grants were over budgeted by $1,729,527 or 11.71% as the Authority received less
operating subsidy than expected.
Interest Income was under budgeted by $2,113,456. This was primarily due to accrued
mortgage interest income not being included with the budgeted income.
Other Income was over budgeted by $310,952. This was primarily due to over projection in
other income.
Administrative Expense was under budgeted by $169,567. This was primarily due to
retirement and final payoff of some administrative staff than originally anticipated.
Protective Services were over budgeted by $200,556 or 63.14% primarily due to decreased
salaries and benefits for security personnel as most services were contracted out.
General Expenses and Insurance costs were over budgeted by $3,166,134 and $404,377
respectively as certain employee benefits, insurance expense and other general expenses
incurred were less than originally budgeted.

budget estimates assuming a lower proration of funding and more unit months under lease.
Administrative Expenses were under budgeted by $256,322. This is mainly due to an increase
in salaries and benefits.
HAP Expenses were under budgeted by $792,035. This was primarily due to more unit months
being under lease than anticipated.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
The Housing Authority of the City of Jersey City ("Jersey City Housing Authority")("the
Authority") is a governmental, public corporation created under federal and state housing laws for
the purpose of engaging in the development, acquisition and administrative activities of the
low-income housing program and other programs with similar objectives for low and moderate
income families residing in the City of Jersey City ("the City"). The Authority is responsible for
operating certain low-rent housing programs in the City under programs administered by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). These programs provide housing for
eligible families under the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
The Authority is governed by an appointed board of commissioners who serve multi-year terms.
The governing board is essentially autonomous but responsible to the United States Department
of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and the Division. An executive director is
appointed by the Authority's board to manage the day-to-day operations of the Authority.
B. Description of Programs
The Authority maintains its accounting records by program. A summary of the significant
programs operated by the Authority is as follows:
Low Rent Public Housing Program
The public housing program is designed to provide low-cost housing. Under this program, HUD
provides funding via an annual contributions contract. These funds, combined with the rental
income received from tenants, are available solely to meet the operating expenses of the program.
Housing Choice Vouchers
The Authority administers a program 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 rent on a
dwelling unit, as approved by HUD, and the amount of rent contribution by a participating
family.
Public Housing Capital Fund Program
The purpose of the Capital Fund Program is to provide another source of funding to cover the
cost of physical and management improvements and rehabilitation on existing low-income
housing and improving the central office facilities. Funding for this program is provided by grants
from HUD.

B. Description of Programs (continued)
Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services Program
The purpose of the Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) grant program is to
provide funds for job training and supportive services to help residents of public housing
transition from welfare to work. ROSS also provides funding to link elderly/disabled residents to
critical services which can help them continue to live independently.
Revitalization of Severely Distressed Public Housing ("Hope VI") Program
The purpose of the HOPE VI Program is to foster initiative and comprehensive approaches to the
problems of severely distressed public housing developments and their residents, including new
ways for public housing authorities and HUD to work together, in collaboration with residents.
Funding for this program is provided by HUD. However, grantees are encouraged to leverage
grant funds with other private or governmental funds to create additional affordable housing.
Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities
The purpose of the Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Program is to expand the
supply of supportive housing for very low-income persons with disabilities.
Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants
Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants support the development of comprehensive
neighborhood transformation plans. The transformation plan should integrate effective strategies
to implement public and/or assisted housing revitalization, the coordination and design of
supportive services, including educational opportunities for children, and neighborhood-level
planning to improve a range of neighborhood assets.
Shelter Plus Care Program ("SPC")
Shelter Plus Care is a program designed to provide housing and supportive services on a
long-term basis for homeless persons with disabilities, (primarily those with serious mental
illness, chronic problems with alcohol and/or drugs, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) or related diseases) and their families who are living in places not intended for human
habitation (e.g., streets) or in emergency shelters.
Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy ("SRO")
Under the SRO program, HUD enters into annual contribution contracts with PHA's in
connection with the moderate rehabilitation of residential properties. PHA's make Section 8
rental assistance payments to participating landlords on behalf of homeless individuals who rent
the rehabilitated dwellings. HUD provides rental assistance for a period up to ten (10) years.
Owners are compensated for the cost of rehabilitation as well as the other costs of maintaining the
property, through rental assistance payments.

C. Reporting Entity
In accordance with Statement No. 61 of the Government Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”),
the Authority’s basic financial statements include those of the Jersey City Housing Authority and
any component units. Component units are legally separate, tax-exempt organizations whose
majority of officials are appointed by the primary government or the organization is fiscally
dependent on the primary government and there is a potential for those organizations either to
provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary
government. An organization has a financial benefit or burden relationship with the primary
government if any one of the following conditions exist:
1. The primary government (Authority) is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the
organization's resources.
2. The primary government is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to
finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization.
3. The primary government is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization.
Based on the application of the above criteria, this report includes all programs and activities
operated by the Authority. There were no additional entities required to be included in the
reporting entity under these criteria in the current fiscal year. Furthermore, the Authority is not
included in any other reporting entity on the basis of such criteria.
D. Basis of Accounting
The Authority's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GASB Statement No. 34,
Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local
Governments (as amended) ("GASB 34"). GASB 34 requires the basic financial statements to be
prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting
and requires the presentation of a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses
and Changes in Net Position and Statement of Cash Flows. GASB 34 also requires the Authority
to include management's discussion and analysis as part of the required supplemental
information.
The Authority's primary source of non-exchange revenue relates to grants and subsidies. In
accordance with GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Non-exchange Transactions, grant and subsidy revenue are recognized at the time eligible
program expenditures occur and/or the Authority has complied with the grant and subsidy
requirements.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Activities that Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the
Authority has elected to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements,
Accounting Principles Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins issued that do not
conflict with or contradict GASB Pronouncements.
31
JERSEY CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
D. Basis of Accounting (continued)
On January 30, 2008, HUD issued PIH Notice 2008-9 which requires housing assistance
payments ("HAP") under proprietary fund be reported as restricted net assets (position), with the
associated cash and investments also being reported on HUD's Financial Data Schedule ("FDS")
as restricted. Any unused administrative fees should be reported as unrestricted net assets
(position), with the associated assets being reported on the FDS as unrestricted.
Both administrative fee and HAP revenue continue to be recognized under the guidelines set forth
in GASB Statement No. 33. Accordingly, both the time and purpose restrictions as defined by
GASB 33 are met when these funds are available and measurable, not when these funds are
expended. The Housing Choice Voucher program is no longer a cost reimbursement grant,
therefore the Authority recognizes unspent administrative fee and HAP revenue in the reporting
period as revenue for financial statement reporting.
Any investment income earned on these funds are reflected in the net position account on which
the investment income was earned. That is; investment income earned on HAP cash balances
are credited to the HAP restricted net position account and investment income earned on
administrative fee cash balances are credited to the unrestricted net position account.
E. Use of Management 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 certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance
for doubtful accounts, accrued expenses and other liabilities, depreciable lives of properties and
equipment, amortization of leasehold improvements and contingencies. Actual results could
differ significantly from these estimates.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
New Jersey Authorities are required by N.J.S.A. 40A:5-14 to deposit public funds in a bank or
trust company having its place of business in the State of New Jersey and organized under the
laws of the United States or State of New Jersey or the New Jersey Cash Management Fund.
N.J.S.A. 40A:5-15.1 provides a list of securities which may be purchased by New Jersey
Authorities. The Authority is required to deposit funds in public depositories protected from loss
under the provisions of the Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act ("GUDPA"). GUDPA
was enacted in 1970 to protect governmental units from a loss of funds on deposit with a failed
banking institution in New Jersey.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
N.J.S.A. 17:9-42 requires governmental units to deposit public funds only in public depositories
located in New Jersey, when the funds are secured in accordance with the act.
HUD requires housing authorities to invest excess funds in obligations of the United States,
Certificates of Deposit or any other federally insured investment.
HUD also requires that deposits be fully collateralized at all times. Acceptable collateralization
includes FDIC insurance and the market value of securities purchased and pledged to the political
subdivision. Pursuant to HUD restrictions, obligations of the United States are allowed as security
for deposits. Obligations furnished as security must be held by the Authority or with an
unaffiliated bank or trust company for the account of the Authority.
For the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase.
It is the Authority's policy to maintain collateralization in accordance with state and HUD
requirements.
G. Accounts Receivable
Rents are due from tenants on the first day of each month. As a result, tenants' accounts
receivable balances primarily consist of rents past due and vacated tenants. Also included in
accounts receivable are those amounts that tenants owe the Authority as payment for committing
fraud or misrepresentation. These charges usually consist of retroactive rent and other amounts
that may be determined by a formal written agreement or by a court order. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is established to provide for all accounts, which may not be collected in the
future for any reason. The Authority recognizes a receivable from HUD and other governmental
agencies for amounts billed but not received and for amounts unbilled, but earned as of year-end.
H. Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses represent amounts paid as of year-end that will benefit future operations.
I. Inventory
Inventories are valued at cost using the First in First out (FIFO) method. If inventory falls below
cost due to damage, deterioration, or obsolescence, the Authority establishes an allowance for
obsolete inventory. The Authority uses the consumption method for expense recognition and
relies upon its periodic (annual) inventory for financial reporting purposes.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
J. Capital Assets
Capital assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged directly to
expense as they are incurred. Expenditures determined to represent additions or betterments are
capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated
useful lives of the following asset groups:
• Buildings 27.5 - 40 Years
• Furniture and Equipment 3 - 7 Years
The Authority has established a capitalization threshold of $5,000.
K. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are those absences for which employees will be paid, such as vacation and
sick leave computed in accordance with GASB Standards. A liability for compensated absences
that is attributable to services already rendered and that are not contingent on a specific event that
is outside the control of the Authority and its employees, is accrued as employees earn the rights
to the benefits. Compensated absences that relate to future services or that are contingent on a
specific event that is outside the control of the Authority and its employees are accounted for in
the period in which such services are rendered or in which such events take place.
L. Prepaid Tenant Rents
Prepaid tenant rents consist of rent payments made by tenants that apply to future periods.
M. Operating Revenues and Expenses
The Authority defines its operating revenues as income derived from charges to residents and
others for services provided as well as government subsidies and grants used for operating
purposes. Operating expenses are costs incurred in the operation of its program activities to
provide services to residents and others. The Authority classifies all other revenues as
non-operating.
N. Taxes
The Authority is a unit of local government under New Jersey law and is exempt from real estate,
sales and income taxes.

The Authority also submits its annual entity-wide operating and capital budget to the State of
New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs in accordance with New Jersey State Law.
NOTE 2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Authority had funds on deposit in checking accounts.

NOTE 10. PENSION PLAN
A. Description of Plans
All required employees of the Authority are covered by the Public Employees' Retirement System
which has been established by state statute and is administered by the New Jersey Division of
Pension and Benefits ("Division"). According to the State of New Jersey Administrative Code,
all obligations of the System will be assumed by the State of New Jersey should the System
terminate. The Division issues a publicly available financial report that includes the financial
statements and required supplementary information for the Public Employees Retirement System.
This report may be obtained by writing to the Division of Pensions and Benefits, PO Box 295,
Trenton, New Jersey, 08625.
B. Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS)
The Public Employees' Retirement System ("PERS") was established as of January 1, 1955 under
the provisions of N.J.S.A. 43:15A to provide retirement, death, disability and medical benefits to
certain qualified members. The Public Employees' Retirement System is a cost-sharing
multiple-employer plan. Membership is mandatory for substantially all full-time
employees of the State of New Jersey or any county, municipality, school district, or public
agency, provided the employee is not required to be a member of another state-administered
retirement system or other state or local jurisdiction. Medical benefits are now provided by the
State Health Benefits Program.
C. Vesting and Benefit Provisions
The vesting and benefit provisions for PERS are set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and 43:3B. All benefits
vest after ten years of service, except for medical benefits that vest after 25 years of service.
Retirement benefits for age and service are available at age 60 and are generally determined to be
1/55 of the final average salary for each year of service credit, as defined. Final average salary
equals the average salary for the final three years of service prior to retirement (or highest three
years' compensation if other than the final three years). Members may seek early retirement after
achieving 25 years of service credit or they may elect deferred retirement after achieving eight to
ten years of service in which case benefits would begin the first day of the month after the
member attains normal retirement age. Members are always fully vested for their own
contributions and, after three years of service credit, become vested for interest earned on the
contributions. In the case of death before retirement, members' beneficiaries are entitled to full
interest credited to the members' accounts.

NOTE 10. PENSION PLAN (continued)
D. Contribution Requirements – PERS
The contribution policy is set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and requires contributions by active members
and contributing employers. Plan member and employer contributions may be amended by State
of New Jersey legislation. Members contribute at a uniform rate. The full normal employee
contribution rate became 5.5% of annual compensation, effective July 1, 2007 for most PERS
state employees and effective July 1, 2008 for PERS local employees, based on Chapter 103, P.L.
2007. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, the active member contribution rate
increased from 5.5% of annual compensation to 6.5% plus an additional 1% phased-in over 7
years beginning in the first year. For fiscal year 2012, the member contribution rate increased
in October 2011. The phase-in of the additional incremental member contribution rate will take
place in July of each subsequent fiscal year. Employers’ contribution amounts are based on an
actuarially determined rate. The annual employer contributions include funding for basic
retirement allowances, cost-of-living adjustments, and non-contributory death benefits.
Chapter 19, P.L. 2009, effective March 17, 2009, provided an option for local employers to
contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified by PERS for
payment due in State fiscal year 2009. This law also provided that a local employer may pay
100% of the required contribution. Such an employer will be credited with the full payment and
any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries for PERS will
determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by employer, for the reduced normal
and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded liability will be paid
by the employer in level annual payments over a period of 15 years beginning with the payments
due in the State fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 and will be adjusted by the rate of return on the
actuarial value of assets.

NOTE 11. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Authority participates in the New Jersey State Health Benefits Program ("the SHBP"), which
qualifies as a cost-sharing, multiple-employer plan in accordance with GASB Statement 45
"Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-employment Benefits Other Than
Pensions" ("OPEB"). The SHBP is administered by the State of New Jersey, Department of
Treasury, Division of Pension and Benefits.

NOTE 11. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS (continued)
Under the SHBP, retirees may continue the health benefits programs in which they are enrolled at
the time of retirement, provided the retiree pays the costs of the benefits (at group rates) for
themselves and their eligible dependents.
A retiree may also receive Authority-paid health benefits in accordance with labor agreements if
they have twenty-five (25) or more years enrolled in the pension system.
Contribution Requirements – SHBP
Contributions to pay for the health premiums of participating employees in the SHBP – Local are
collected from the State of New Jersey, participating local employers, active members, and retired
members. Local employer payments and active and retired member contributions are generally
received on a monthly basis.
Local group employees are not affected by the premium sharing provisions of Chapter 8, P.L.
1996. Chapter 2, P.L. 2010, effective May 21, 2010, requires a minimum contribution of 1.5% of
base salary toward the cost of health care benefits coverage by all active public employees.
Employees of the State, local governments, and boards of education who become a member of a
State or locally-administered retirement system on or after the law’s effective date would be
required to pay in retirement 1.5% of their pension benefit toward the cost of health care coverage
under the SHBP.
Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, effective June 28, 2011, established new employee contribution
requirements towards the cost of employer provided health benefit coverage. Employees are
required to contribute a certain percentage of the cost of coverage. The rate of contribution is
determined based on the employee’s annual salary and the selected level of coverage. The
increased employee contributions will be phased in over a 4-year period for those employed prior
to Chapter 78’s effective date with a minimum contribution required to be at least 1.5% of salary.
For those employed on or after June 28, 2011, the 4-year phase-in does not apply and
contributions based on the full percentage rate of contribution are required. Under Chapter 78,
certain future retirees eligible for employer-paid health care coverage at retirement will also be
required to pay a percentage of the cost of their medical coverage determined on the basis of their
annual retirement benefit.
The State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits, issues
publicly available financial reports that include the financial statements and required
supplementary information of the SHBP. The financial reports may be obtained by writing to the
State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits, P.O. Box

NOTE 15. CONTINGENCIES
The Authority receives financial assistance from HUD in the form of grants and subsidies.
Entitlement to the funds is generally conditional upon compliance with terms and conditions of
the grant agreements and applicable regulations, including the expenditure of the funds for
eligible purposes. Substantially all grants, entitlements and cost reimbursements are subject to
financial and compliance audits by HUD. As a result of these audits, costs previously
reimbursed could be disallowed and require payments to HUD. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014,
the Authority estimates that no material liabilities will result from such audits.
NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Events that occur after the financial statement date but before the financial statements were
available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent
events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the financial statement date are
recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide
evidence about conditions that existed after the financial statement date require disclosure in the
accompanying notes to the financial statements. Management evaluated the activity of the
Authority through October 31, 2015 (the date the financial statements were available to be issued)
and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the
financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S 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 Commissioners
Jersey City Housing Authority:
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 Jersey City Housing Authority, as of and
for the year ended March 31, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
Jersey City Housing Authority's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 31,
2015.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Jersey City Housing
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 opinions on the financial statements, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Jersey City Housing Authority's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Jersey City Housing Authority's internal
control.
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.
50
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S 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 (continued)
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Jersey City Housing Authority's financial statements are
free from 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
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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 entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 AND
STATE OF NEW JERSEY OMB CIRCULAR 04-04
Board of Commissioners
Jersey City Housing Authority:
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Jersey City Housing Authority's compliance with the types of compliance requirements
described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement and the State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04
that could have a direct and material effect on each of Jersey City Housing Authority's major federal programs for
the year ended March 31, 2015. Jersey City Housing Authority's major federal programs are identified in the
summary of auditor’s 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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Jersey City Housing 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 and the State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133 and the
State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04 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 Jersey City Housing 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 Jersey City Housing Authority's
compliance.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of Jersey City Housing 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 Jersey City Housing 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 Jersey City Housing 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. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not
been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

government for the year ended March 31, 2015. The information in the schedule is presented in
accordance with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular

presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Jersey City Housing Authority, it is not
intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the

The expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such
expenditures are recognized following the principles contained in OMB Circular A-87, Cost
Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribes, wherein certain types of expenditures are not
allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent
adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures
in prior years. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available.

Extension Approval Letter from GFOA
 
Memorandum
Date: December 2, 2015
To: Samuel Moolayil
From: Stephen Gauthier, Director/Technical Services Center
Subject: CAFR Extension – Jersey City Housing Authority, New Jersey
Your request for an extension in submitting the March 31, 2015 comprehensive annual financial report
(CAFR) to the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program has been
approved. Because of the importance of timeliness to the quality of financial reporting, extensions of
more than a few days beyond this additional extension are available only if extraordinary
circumstances are causing the delay in the preparation of the CAFR.
Please follow the instructions on the Certificate Program Participant Application for transmitting your
information. Your submission must be sent (postmarked or e-mailed) to our office by December 31,
2015. Please be aware that the results of the review will be delayed because of the extension of the
submission deadline.
Further, and to again emphasize the importance of timeliness, the Special Review Executive Committee,
which is responsible for overseeing the Certificate Program, has adopted a formal program policy that
does not permit participants to receive an extension two years in a row for essentially the same reason.
That is, your next CAFR will be eligible for an extension only if the circumstances delaying its timely
submission are substantially different from those that required an extension this past year. Accordingly,
please be sure to make whatever plans may be necessary to ensure that you will be able to submit your
March 31, 2016 CAFR in time to meet the regular program deadline of six months following the close of
the fiscal year.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, or if we may be of any further assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely yours,

    1    December 2, 2015 TheBoard of Commissioners Jersey City Housing Authority Jersey City, New Jersey 07036 The Real Estate Assessment Center (“REAC”) of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) requires all public housing authorities to submit within nine months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of audited financial statements, presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards by a firm of independent certified public accountants. We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) of the Jersey City Housing Authority (the “Authority” or “JCHA”) for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the Authority. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide for a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the Authority has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect its assets from loss, theft, or misuse and, to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the Authority's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh its benefits, the Authority's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of material misstatements. As management, we assert that to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The Authority's financial statements have been audited by Fallon and Larsen LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The purpose of the independent audit is to
  • 8.
    2    provide reasonable assurancethat the financial statements of the Authority for the year ended March 31, 2015, taken as a whole, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditors issued an unqualified opinion on the Authority's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015, indicating that they were fairly presented, in all material respects, and in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors' report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. The independent audit of the financial statements of the Authority is a component of the federally mandated “Single Audit”, which is designated to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A''). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Authority's MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditors' report. Profile of the Authority The Authority was created by a City of Jersey City ordinance in accordance with the State of New Jersey Local Housing Authorities Law in 1938 (N.J.S.A. 40A:12A). The governing body of the Authority is composed of seven members, five members appointed by the governing body, one by the mayor and one by the Commissioner of Community Affairs of the State of New Jersey. The Authority is the second largest public housing authority in New Jersey charged with providing low-income residents of Jersey City with decent, safe and affordable housing. As of March 31, 2015 the Authority owns and operates 2,079 low-rent Public Housing rental ACC units located in 9 Asset Management Properties (AMPs), 126 non-federal units in two AMPs and 742 Mixed-Finance Units of which 516 ACC Units, consists of 10 AMPs. HUD has also contracted with the Authority for the support of 3,969 Housing Choice Vouchers. Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the Authority administers contracts with private landlords owning rental property. The Authority subsidizes the family’s rent through housing assistance payment made to the landlord. The program

    3    is administered underan Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD. The Mission of the Jersey City Housing Authority is to develop and manage Housing of Choice of the highest standards, which is safe, affordable, sustainable and accessible; and, in partnership with outside organizations, foster resident responsibility and self-sufficiency. The Authority's basic financial statements consist of a single enterprise fund, which includes the following programs: • Low Rent Housing (“LRH”) Program • Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”) Programs (HCV, Mainstream, VASH etc.) • Public Housing Capital Fund (“CFP”) Program • Resident Opportunity and Self-sufficiency (“ROSS”) Program • Revitalization of Severely Distressed Public Housing (“HOPE VI”) Program • Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities • Shelter Plus Care Program (“SPC”) • Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (“SRO”) • State and Local Programs Please refer to Note 1 to the financial statements for a description of Authority programs. For further analysis, we have also included supplemental financial schedules for the programs individually, which can be found following the notes to the basic financial statements. Economic Factors As a public housing authority ("PHA"), the Authority's primary source of funding is from US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The amount of funding received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development is affected by Congressional housing appropriation, legislation and the federal budget. The Authority continues to be challenged with unpredictable Federal funding levels from HUD. Public Housing programs will continue to operate at a deficit due to the low Project Expenses Level (PEL) funding and the proration set by HUD based on the House Committee appropriations cut backs every year. On November, 2005, HUD’s interim operating fund rule became effective. The rule amended the Public Housing Operating Fund Program's regulations and provided a new formula for the distribution of operating subsidies to PHAs. This rule converted public
  • 10.
    4    housing to anasset management based system of budgeting, accounting and funding. It also required PHAs to convert to project based management within five years of the effective date. The change was driven by a ‘Harvard Cost Study’ and the real estate property concept of asset management, in which a property manager considers both the short-term needs and the long-term positioning of real estate assets. Under the interim rule the JCHA was a decliner. For PHAs which would not benefit from the new formula funding (decliners), HUD provided additional incentive funding called the ‘Transition Funding’, for early conversion to Project-based on a sliding scale over a five year period. The JCHA has been deemed compliant under “Asset Based Management” regulations and has stopped the annual loss subsequently. The Authority is taking steps to reduce the impact of future deficits through continued compliance with asset based management, energy conservation, and various other expense reduction measures. Financial Results and Outlook The Authority's operating loss as of March 31, 2015 was $4,073,086 as compared to $7,516,850 for the previous year. Operating loss decreased by 3,443,764 or 45.81% primarily due to the reduction of operating expenses in the amount of $4,431,606 which was offset by the reduction of operating revenues in the amount of $987,742. Improve Central Office and Administrative Efficiency. Through the years, the Authority has taken aggressive measures to contain spending through various expense reduction programs. Operating Budget reflects initiatives through which central office and administrative office activities will be streamlined and resources redirected to the frontline. Although the Authority has been taking measures to control costs, savings have been offset by increases in certain other costs such as employee entitlements including pension, and health insurance. Energy Conservation. The Authority entered into a lease purchase agreement on November 23, 2010 for energy savings equipment expiring in November 2025 with Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. for capital equipment lease program. Under the terms of the lease, interest accrued at 5.32% from lease inception through May 2012 at time payments of $69,950 including interest at 2.95% will be made through termination. The bonds mature at various times through November 2025 bearing interest at 2.95%. The Authority is currently in the process of refinancing these bonds for an even lower interest rate of 2.2397%.

    5    Public Housing AssessmentSystem (PHAS). In 1999, HUD instituted the Public Housing Assessment System ("PHAS”) process which measures the performance of PHAs in four categories: Physical Assessment, Financial Condition, Management Operations, and Resident Satisfaction. The Financial component is used to determine if the PHA has sufficient financial resources and is managing those resources effectively to support its operations. During 2011, HUD issued the PHAS Interim Rule, which revised the previous PHAS guidelines. Under the PHAS Interim Rule, the performance of PHAs is measured in the following categories: Physical Assessment, Financial Condition, Management Operations and Capital Fund Program. One significant change pertains to the financial performance. Under the interim Rule, HUD will use indicators that cover both the Financial Condition and Management Operations components to assess the financial performance of PHAs. The overall score for Fiscal Year End of March 31, 2014, under the Interim Rule was 60, which designates the Authority as a Sub-Standard Performer. The final PHAS score for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015 will not be received from HUD until after the submission and review and the approval of the audited Financial Data Schedule by REAC. JCHA is projecting a score of 71 for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015. Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). The SEMAP measures the performance of the public housing agencies (PHAs) that administer the Housing Choice Voucher program in 14 key areas. The 14 key indicators of PHA performance are: (i) Proper selection of applicants from the housing choice voucher waiting list, (ii) Sound determination of reasonable rent for each unit leased, (iii) Establishment of payment standards within the required range of the HUD fair market rent, (iv) Accurate verification of family income, (v) Timely annual reexaminations of family income, (vi) Correct calculation of the tenant share of the rent and the housing assistance payment, (vii) Maintenance of a current schedule of allowances for tenant utility costs, (viii) Ensure units comply with the housing quality standards before families enter into leases and PHAs enter into housing assistance contracts, (ix) Timely annual housing quality inspections, (x) Performing of quality control inspections to ensure housing quality, (xi) Ensure that landlords and tenants promptly correct housing quality deficiencies, (xii) Ensure that all available housing choice vouchers are used, (xiii) Expand housing choice outside areas of poverty or minority concentration, and (xiv) Enroll families in the family self-sufficiency (FSS) program as required and help FSS families achieve increases in employment income.

    252 Washington Street732-503-4257 Main Suite B 732-341-1424 Fax Toms River, NJ 08753 www.falloncpa.com 9 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT The Board of Commissioners Jersey City Housing Authority: Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Jersey City Housing Authority ("the Authority") as of and for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the accompanying table of contents. 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. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 and audit requirements as prescribed by the Division of Local Government Services, Department of Community Affairs, State of New Jersey. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 auditor’s 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.
  • 20.
    10 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT(continued) Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Jersey City Housing Authority as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows for the years 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 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 audits 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 audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Jersey City Housing Authority's basic financial statements. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal awards, as required by Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying financial data schedule is also not a required part of the financial statements and are presented for the purposes of additional analysis as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the financial data schedule 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 audits 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 schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the financial data schedule are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering Jersey City Housing Authority's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

    Management’s Discussion andAnalysis (MD&A) For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 12 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the Authority’s financial activity, and (c) identify changes in the Authority’s financial position for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Please read it in conjunction with the Authority’s financial statements. Overview of the financial statements The Authority’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Authority’s accounting records are structured as an enterprise fund with revenues recognized when earned, rather than when received. Expenses are recognized when incurred, not when they are paid. Capital assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The accounting for enterprise funds is similar to the accounting used by businesses. See the notes to the financial statements for a summary of the Authority’s significant accounting policies. Following the MD&A are the basic financial statements of the Authority together with notes, which are essential to a full understanding of the data contained in the financial statements. The Authority’s basic financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Authority’s finances. The Statements of Net Position present information similar to a Balance Sheet. The Statement of Net Position reports all financial and capital resources of the Authority. The statement is presented in the format where assets, minus liabilities, equal net position. Assets and liabilities are presented in order of liquidity, and are classified as current and non-current. Net position is reported in three broad categories: Net Investment in Capital Assets: This component 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 consists of assets that are constrained by limitations placed on their use by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, etc. Unrestricted Net Position: This component consists of assets that are not restricted and do not meet the definition of Net Investment in Capital Assets.

    Management’s Discussion andAnalysis (MD&A) For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 13 Overview of the financial statements (continued) The Statements of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Net Position present information showing how the Authority’s net position changed during the year. This statement includes operating revenues, such as rental income, HUD operating grants, operating expenses, such as administrative, tenant services, utilities, maintenance, and depreciation, and non-operating revenue and expenses, such as capital grant revenue, investment income, interest expense, and gains or losses from the sale or disposition of capital assets. The focus of the statement is the change in net position, which is similar to net income or loss for a business entity. The Statements of Cash Flows report net cash provided by or used by operating activities, non-capital financing activities, capital and related financing activities and investing activities. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the information included in the financial statements. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report includes two types of supplementary information: required supplementary information and other supplementary information. Required supplementary information must be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Management’s Discussion and Analysis is the required supplementary information. Other supplementary information is not required by generally accepted accounting principles but is presented for additional analysis purposes or to meet other requirements. The financial data schedule is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Program information Low Income Public Housing: The Authority owns and manages 2,079 units and 516 mixed finance ACC units managed by private management companies. Under the Low Income Public Housing program, the Authority rents units that it owns, to low-income households. The program is operated under an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD, and HUD provides Operating Subsidy and Capital Funding to enable the Authority to provide housing at a rent that is based on 30% of household income. The Conventional Public Housing Program includes the Capital Fund Program, which is the primary funding source for physical and management improvements to the Authority’s properties.

    Management’s Discussion andAnalysis (MD&A) For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 14 Program information (continued) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: HUD has contracted with the Authority for the support for 3,969 Housing Choice Vouchers. Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the Authority administers contracts with landlords that own rental property. The Authority subsidizes the family’s rent through a Housing Assistance Payment made to the landlord. The program is administered under an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with HUD. HUD provides Annual Contribution Funding to enable the Authority to structure a lease that sets the participants’ rent at 30% of household income.

    Management’s Discussion andAnalysis (MD&A) For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 15 Financial position and analysis (continued) Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased by $1,511,948 or 34.13%.  This is primarily due to the use of $372,904 in operating activities, $528,033 in capital and related financing activities, $582,455 in investing activities and contributed $28,556 to restricted cash accounts. Other Current Assets increased by $746,853 or 52.69% primarily due to increases in amounts due from HUD regarding Housing Choice Voucher program funding. Non-current Assets decreased by $2,249,062 or 1.41% primarily due to depreciation expense exceeding capital asset purchases for the year by $4,286,276 which was offset by a $2,008,658 increase in notes receivable and the related accrued interest. Current Liabilities decreased by $2,053,660 or 37.75% primarily due to a substantial decrease in accrued utilities at year-end. Non-current liabilities decreased by $1,888,536 or 8.79% due primarily to payments on long term debt and reduction of compensated absences owed. Table 2 focuses on the changes in net position: 2015 2014 Increase (Decrease) Percent Variance Operating revenue & expense Operating revenue $ 61,968,440 $ 62,956,282 $ (987,842) -1.57% Operating expenses 66,041,526 70,473,132 (4,431,606) -6.29% Operating loss (4,073,086) (7,516,850) 3,443,764 -45.81% Non-operating revenues & expenses 5,001,125 4,731,079 270,046 5.71% Increase (decrease) in net position 928,039 (2,785,771) 3,713,810 -133.31% Net position, beginning of year 138,934,682 141,720,453 (2,785,771) -1.97% Net position, end of year $ 139,862,721 $ 138,934,682 $ 928,039 0.67%

General Expenses and Insurance costs decreased by $968,838 and $423,653 respectively primarily due to the reduction in other general expenses and insurance expense. Depreciation Expenses increased by $316,475 or 4.65% primarily due to more assets being placed in service during the fiscal year. Housing Assistance Payments decreased by $832,608 or 2.29% primarily due to insufficient funding and leasing freeze during the fiscal year.

    Management’s Discussion andAnalysis (MD&A) For the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 19 Budgetary Analysis (continued) Operating grants were over budgeted by $1,729,527 or 11.71% as the Authority received less operating subsidy than expected. Interest Income was under budgeted by $2,113,456. This was primarily due to accrued mortgage interest income not being included with the budgeted income. Other Income was over budgeted by $310,952. This was primarily due to over projection in other income. Administrative Expense was under budgeted by $169,567. This was primarily due to retirement and final payoff of some administrative staff than originally anticipated. Protective Services were over budgeted by $200,556 or 63.14% primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits for security personnel as most services were contracted out. General Expenses and Insurance costs were over budgeted by $3,166,134 and $404,377 respectively as certain employee benefits, insurance expense and other general expenses incurred were less than originally budgeted.

This was primarily due to budget estimates assuming a lower proration of funding and more unit months under lease. Administrative Expenses were under budgeted by $256,322. This is mainly due to an increase in salaries and benefits. HAP Expenses were under budgeted by $792,035. This was primarily due to more unit months being under lease than anticipated.

    28 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Organization The Housing Authority of the City of Jersey City ("Jersey City Housing Authority")("the Authority") is a governmental, public corporation created under federal and state housing laws for the purpose of engaging in the development, acquisition and administrative activities of the low-income housing program and other programs with similar objectives for low and moderate income families residing in the City of Jersey City ("the City"). The Authority is responsible for operating certain low-rent housing programs in the City under programs administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). These programs provide housing for eligible families under the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. The Authority is governed by an appointed board of commissioners who serve multi-year terms. The governing board is essentially autonomous but responsible to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and the Division. An executive director is appointed by the Authority's board to manage the day-to-day operations of the Authority. B. Description of Programs The Authority maintains its accounting records by program. A summary of the significant programs operated by the Authority is as follows: Low Rent Public Housing Program The public housing program is designed to provide low-cost housing. Under this program, HUD provides funding via an annual contributions contract. These funds, combined with the rental income received from tenants, are available solely to meet the operating expenses of the program. Housing Choice Vouchers The Authority administers a program 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 rent on a dwelling unit, as approved by HUD, and the amount of rent contribution by a participating family. Public Housing Capital Fund Program The purpose of the Capital Fund Program is to provide another source of funding to cover the cost of physical and management improvements and rehabilitation on existing low-income housing and improving the central office facilities. Funding for this program is provided by grants from HUD.

    29 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) B. Description of Programs (continued) Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services Program The purpose of the Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) grant program is to provide funds for job training and supportive services to help residents of public housing transition from welfare to work. ROSS also provides funding to link elderly/disabled residents to critical services which can help them continue to live independently. Revitalization of Severely Distressed Public Housing ("Hope VI") Program The purpose of the HOPE VI Program is to foster initiative and comprehensive approaches to the problems of severely distressed public housing developments and their residents, including new ways for public housing authorities and HUD to work together, in collaboration with residents. Funding for this program is provided by HUD. However, grantees are encouraged to leverage grant funds with other private or governmental funds to create additional affordable housing. Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities The purpose of the Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Program is to expand the supply of supportive housing for very low-income persons with disabilities. Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants support the development of comprehensive neighborhood transformation plans. The transformation plan should integrate effective strategies to implement public and/or assisted housing revitalization, the coordination and design of supportive services, including educational opportunities for children, and neighborhood-level planning to improve a range of neighborhood assets. Shelter Plus Care Program ("SPC") Shelter Plus Care is a program designed to provide housing and supportive services on a long-term basis for homeless persons with disabilities, (primarily those with serious mental illness, chronic problems with alcohol and/or drugs, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or related diseases) and their families who are living in places not intended for human habitation (e.g., streets) or in emergency shelters. Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy ("SRO") Under the SRO program, HUD enters into annual contribution contracts with PHA's in connection with the moderate rehabilitation of residential properties. PHA's make Section 8 rental assistance payments to participating landlords on behalf of homeless individuals who rent the rehabilitated dwellings. HUD provides rental assistance for a period up to ten (10) years. Owners are compensated for the cost of rehabilitation as well as the other costs of maintaining the property, through rental assistance payments.

    30 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. Reporting Entity In accordance with Statement No. 61 of the Government Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”), the Authority’s basic financial statements include those of the Jersey City Housing Authority and any component units. Component units are legally separate, tax-exempt organizations whose majority of officials are appointed by the primary government or the organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government and there is a potential for those organizations either to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the primary government. An organization has a financial benefit or burden relationship with the primary government if any one of the following conditions exist: 1. The primary government (Authority) is legally entitled to or can otherwise access the organization's resources. 2. The primary government is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide financial support to, the organization. 3. The primary government is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization. Based on the application of the above criteria, this report includes all programs and activities operated by the Authority. There were no additional entities required to be included in the reporting entity under these criteria in the current fiscal year. Furthermore, the Authority is not included in any other reporting entity on the basis of such criteria. D. Basis of Accounting The Authority's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments (as amended) ("GASB 34"). GASB 34 requires the basic financial statements to be prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting and requires the presentation of a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position and Statement of Cash Flows. GASB 34 also requires the Authority to include management's discussion and analysis as part of the required supplemental information. The Authority's primary source of non-exchange revenue relates to grants and subsidies. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Non-exchange Transactions, grant and subsidy revenue are recognized at the time eligible program expenditures occur and/or the Authority has complied with the grant and subsidy requirements. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Activities that Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the Authority has elected to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements, Accounting Principles Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins issued that do not conflict with or contradict GASB Pronouncements.

    31 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Basis of Accounting (continued) On January 30, 2008, HUD issued PIH Notice 2008-9 which requires housing assistance payments ("HAP") under proprietary fund be reported as restricted net assets (position), with the associated cash and investments also being reported on HUD's Financial Data Schedule ("FDS") as restricted. Any unused administrative fees should be reported as unrestricted net assets (position), with the associated assets being reported on the FDS as unrestricted. Both administrative fee and HAP revenue continue to be recognized under the guidelines set forth in GASB Statement No. 33. Accordingly, both the time and purpose restrictions as defined by GASB 33 are met when these funds are available and measurable, not when these funds are expended. The Housing Choice Voucher program is no longer a cost reimbursement grant, therefore the Authority recognizes unspent administrative fee and HAP revenue in the reporting period as revenue for financial statement reporting. Any investment income earned on these funds are reflected in the net position account on which the investment income was earned. That is; investment income earned on HAP cash balances are credited to the HAP restricted net position account and investment income earned on administrative fee cash balances are credited to the unrestricted net position account. E. Use of Management 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 certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued expenses and other liabilities, depreciable lives of properties and equipment, amortization of leasehold improvements and contingencies. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. F. Cash and Cash Equivalents New Jersey Authorities are required by N.J.S.A. 40A:5-14 to deposit public funds in a bank or trust company having its place of business in the State of New Jersey and organized under the laws of the United States or State of New Jersey or the New Jersey Cash Management Fund. N.J.S.A. 40A:5-15.1 provides a list of securities which may be purchased by New Jersey Authorities. The Authority is required to deposit funds in public depositories protected from loss under the provisions of the Governmental Unit Deposit Protection Act ("GUDPA"). GUDPA was enacted in 1970 to protect governmental units from a loss of funds on deposit with a failed banking institution in New Jersey.

Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued) N.J.S.A. 17:9-42 requires governmental units to deposit public funds only in public depositories located in New Jersey, when the funds are secured in accordance with the act. HUD requires housing authorities to invest excess funds in obligations of the United States, Certificates of Deposit or any other federally insured investment. HUD also requires that deposits be fully collateralized at all times. Acceptable collateralization includes FDIC insurance and the market value of securities purchased and pledged to the political subdivision. Pursuant to HUD restrictions, obligations of the United States are allowed as security for deposits. Obligations furnished as security must be held by the Authority or with an unaffiliated bank or trust company for the account of the Authority. For the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase. It is the Authority's policy to maintain collateralization in accordance with state and HUD requirements. G. Accounts Receivable Rents are due from tenants on the first day of each month. As a result, tenants' accounts receivable balances primarily consist of rents past due and vacated tenants. Also included in accounts receivable are those amounts that tenants owe the Authority as payment for committing fraud or misrepresentation. These charges usually consist of retroactive rent and other amounts that may be determined by a formal written agreement or by a court order. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established to provide for all accounts, which may not be collected in the future for any reason. The Authority recognizes a receivable from HUD and other governmental agencies for amounts billed but not received and for amounts unbilled, but earned as of year-end. H. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses represent amounts paid as of year-end that will benefit future operations. I. Inventory Inventories are valued at cost using the First in First out (FIFO) method. If inventory falls below cost due to damage, deterioration, or obsolescence, the Authority establishes an allowance for obsolete inventory. The Authority uses the consumption method for expense recognition and relies upon its periodic (annual) inventory for financial reporting purposes.

Capital Assets Capital assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged directly to expense as they are incurred. Expenditures determined to represent additions or betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the following asset groups: • Buildings 27.5 - 40 Years • Furniture and Equipment 3 - 7 Years The Authority has established a capitalization threshold of $5,000. K. Compensated Absences Compensated absences are those absences for which employees will be paid, such as vacation and sick leave computed in accordance with GASB Standards. A liability for compensated absences that is attributable to services already rendered and that are not contingent on a specific event that is outside the control of the Authority and its employees, is accrued as employees earn the rights to the benefits. Compensated absences that relate to future services or that are contingent on a specific event that is outside the control of the Authority and its employees are accounted for in the period in which such services are rendered or in which such events take place. L. Prepaid Tenant Rents Prepaid tenant rents consist of rent payments made by tenants that apply to future periods. M. Operating Revenues and Expenses The Authority defines its operating revenues as income derived from charges to residents and others for services provided as well as government subsidies and grants used for operating purposes. Operating expenses are costs incurred in the operation of its program activities to provide services to residents and others. The Authority classifies all other revenues as non-operating. N. Taxes The Authority is a unit of local government under New Jersey law and is exempt from real estate, sales and income taxes.

Economic Dependency The Section 8 and Low Rent Public Housing programs of the Authority are economically dependent on operating grants and subsidies from HUD.

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting The Authority adopts annual, appropriated operating budgets for all its programs receiving federal expenditure awards. All budgets are prepared on a HUD basis, which differs with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Description of Plans All required employees of the Authority are covered by the Public Employees' Retirement System which has been established by state statute and is administered by the New Jersey Division of Pension and Benefits ("Division"). According to the State of New Jersey Administrative Code, all obligations of the System will be assumed by the State of New Jersey should the System terminate. The Division issues a publicly available financial report that includes the financial statements and required supplementary information for the Public Employees Retirement System. This report may be obtained by writing to the Division of Pensions and Benefits, PO Box 295, Trenton, New Jersey, 08625. B. Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) The Public Employees' Retirement System ("PERS") was established as of January 1, 1955 under the provisions of N.J.S.A. 43:15A to provide retirement, death, disability and medical benefits to certain qualified members. The Public Employees' Retirement System is a cost-sharing multiple-employer plan. Membership is mandatory for substantially all full-time employees of the State of New Jersey or any county, municipality, school district, or public agency, provided the employee is not required to be a member of another state-administered retirement system or other state or local jurisdiction. Medical benefits are now provided by the State Health Benefits Program. C. Vesting and Benefit Provisions The vesting and benefit provisions for PERS are set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and 43:3B. All benefits vest after ten years of service, except for medical benefits that vest after 25 years of service. Retirement benefits for age and service are available at age 60 and are generally determined to be 1/55 of the final average salary for each year of service credit, as defined. Final average salary equals the average salary for the final three years of service prior to retirement (or highest three years' compensation if other than the final three years). Members may seek early retirement after achieving 25 years of service credit or they may elect deferred retirement after achieving eight to ten years of service in which case benefits would begin the first day of the month after the member attains normal retirement age. Members are always fully vested for their own contributions and, after three years of service credit, become vested for interest earned on the contributions. In the case of death before retirement, members' beneficiaries are entitled to full interest credited to the members' accounts.

    45 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 10. PENSION PLAN (continued) D. Contribution Requirements – PERS The contribution policy is set by N.J.S.A. 43:15A and requires contributions by active members and contributing employers. Plan member and employer contributions may be amended by State of New Jersey legislation. Members contribute at a uniform rate. The full normal employee contribution rate became 5.5% of annual compensation, effective July 1, 2007 for most PERS state employees and effective July 1, 2008 for PERS local employees, based on Chapter 103, P.L. 2007. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, the active member contribution rate increased from 5.5% of annual compensation to 6.5% plus an additional 1% phased-in over 7 years beginning in the first year. For fiscal year 2012, the member contribution rate increased in October 2011. The phase-in of the additional incremental member contribution rate will take place in July of each subsequent fiscal year. Employers’ contribution amounts are based on an actuarially determined rate. The annual employer contributions include funding for basic retirement allowances, cost-of-living adjustments, and non-contributory death benefits. Chapter 19, P.L. 2009, effective March 17, 2009, provided an option for local employers to contribute 50% of the normal and accrued liability contribution amounts certified by PERS for payment due in State fiscal year 2009. This law also provided that a local employer may pay 100% of the required contribution. Such an employer will be credited with the full payment and any such amounts will not be included in their unfunded liability. The actuaries for PERS will determine the unfunded liability of those retirement systems, by employer, for the reduced normal and accrued liability contributions provided under this law. This unfunded liability will be paid by the employer in level annual payments over a period of 15 years beginning with the payments due in the State fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 and will be adjusted by the rate of return on the actuarial value of assets. Three Year Trend Information for PERS Year Funding Annual Pension Cost (APC) Percentage of APC Contributed Net Pension Obligation March 31, 2015 $ 1,123,862 100 $ - March 31, 2014 $ 1,103,948 100 $ - March 31, 2013 $ 1,170,858 100 $ - NOTE 11. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Authority participates in the New Jersey State Health Benefits Program ("the SHBP"), which qualifies as a cost-sharing, multiple-employer plan in accordance with GASB Statement 45 "Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-employment Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("OPEB"). The SHBP is administered by the State of New Jersey, Department of Treasury, Division of Pension and Benefits.

    46 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 11. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS (continued) Under the SHBP, retirees may continue the health benefits programs in which they are enrolled at the time of retirement, provided the retiree pays the costs of the benefits (at group rates) for themselves and their eligible dependents. A retiree may also receive Authority-paid health benefits in accordance with labor agreements if they have twenty-five (25) or more years enrolled in the pension system. Contribution Requirements – SHBP Contributions to pay for the health premiums of participating employees in the SHBP – Local are collected from the State of New Jersey, participating local employers, active members, and retired members. Local employer payments and active and retired member contributions are generally received on a monthly basis. Local group employees are not affected by the premium sharing provisions of Chapter 8, P.L. 1996. Chapter 2, P.L. 2010, effective May 21, 2010, requires a minimum contribution of 1.5% of base salary toward the cost of health care benefits coverage by all active public employees. Employees of the State, local governments, and boards of education who become a member of a State or locally-administered retirement system on or after the law’s effective date would be required to pay in retirement 1.5% of their pension benefit toward the cost of health care coverage under the SHBP. Chapter 78, P.L. 2011, effective June 28, 2011, established new employee contribution requirements towards the cost of employer provided health benefit coverage. Employees are required to contribute a certain percentage of the cost of coverage. The rate of contribution is determined based on the employee’s annual salary and the selected level of coverage. The increased employee contributions will be phased in over a 4-year period for those employed prior to Chapter 78’s effective date with a minimum contribution required to be at least 1.5% of salary. For those employed on or after June 28, 2011, the 4-year phase-in does not apply and contributions based on the full percentage rate of contribution are required. Under Chapter 78, certain future retirees eligible for employer-paid health care coverage at retirement will also be required to pay a percentage of the cost of their medical coverage determined on the basis of their annual retirement benefit. The State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits, issues publicly available financial reports that include the financial statements and required supplementary information of the SHBP. The financial reports may be obtained by writing to the State of New Jersey, Department of the Treasury, Division of Pensions and Benefits, P.O. Box 295, Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0295.

NOTE 13. HUD REPAYMENT AGREEMENT In 2013, the Authority entered into an agreement with HUD which requires the Low Rent Housing Program to repay advances from the Housing Choice Voucher Program over a ten (10) year period. The original repayment amount totaled $1,487,094. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, $- and $126,982, respectively was owed under this agreement.

    48 JERSEY CITY HOUSINGAUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014 NOTE 15. CONTINGENCIES The Authority receives financial assistance from HUD in the form of grants and subsidies. Entitlement to the funds is generally conditional upon compliance with terms and conditions of the grant agreements and applicable regulations, including the expenditure of the funds for eligible purposes. Substantially all grants, entitlements and cost reimbursements are subject to financial and compliance audits by HUD. As a result of these audits, costs previously reimbursed could be disallowed and require payments to HUD. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Authority estimates that no material liabilities will result from such audits. NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Events that occur after the financial statement date but before the financial statements were available to be issued must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the financial statement date are recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the financial statement date require disclosure in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Management evaluated the activity of the Authority through October 31, 2015 (the date the financial statements were available to be issued) and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Jersey City Housing 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 opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Jersey City Housing Authority's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Jersey City Housing Authority's internal control. 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.

    50 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTON 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 (continued) Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Jersey City Housing Authority's financial statements are free from 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 results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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 entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. October 31, 2015 Toms River, New Jersey

Jersey City Housing Authority's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s 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. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Jersey City Housing 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 and the State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04. Those standards, OMB Circular A-133 and the State of New Jersey OMB Circular 04-04 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 Jersey City Housing 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 Jersey City Housing Authority's compliance.

    52 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 AND STATE OF NEW JERSEY OMB CIRCULAR 04-04 (continued) Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, the Jersey City Housing 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 March 31, 2015. Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of Jersey City Housing 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 Jersey City Housing 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 Jersey City Housing 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. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A-133.

The information in the schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the principles contained in OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribes, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.

    Memorandum Date: December 2,2015 To: Samuel Moolayil From: Stephen Gauthier, Director/Technical Services Center Subject: CAFR Extension – Jersey City Housing Authority, New Jersey Your request for an extension in submitting the March 31, 2015 comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) to the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program has been approved. Because of the importance of timeliness to the quality of financial reporting, extensions of more than a few days beyond this additional extension are available only if extraordinary circumstances are causing the delay in the preparation of the CAFR. Please follow the instructions on the Certificate Program Participant Application for transmitting your information. Your submission must be sent (postmarked or e-mailed) to our office by December 31, 2015. Please be aware that the results of the review will be delayed because of the extension of the submission deadline. Further, and to again emphasize the importance of timeliness, the Special Review Executive Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Certificate Program, has adopted a formal program policy that does not permit participants to receive an extension two years in a row for essentially the same reason. That is, your next CAFR will be eligible for an extension only if the circumstances delaying its timely submission are substantially different from those that required an extension this past year. Accordingly, please be sure to make whatever plans may be necessary to ensure that you will be able to submit your March 31, 2016 CAFR in time to meet the regular program deadline of six months following the close of the fiscal year. If you have any questions regarding this matter, or if we may be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely yours, GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION Stephen J. Gauthier Director/Technical Services Center SJG/ks Government Finance Officers Association 203 N. LaSalle Street, Suite 2700 Chicago, Illinois 60601-1210 312.977.9700 fax: 312.977.4806 119
