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 38
Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and on Report
on Internal Control over Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance 40

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Housing Works, Inc., and Affiliates (collectively,
the "Organization"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022,
and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year
then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of the Organization as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its net
assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAS") and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated
Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Organization, and
to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to
our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion. The financial statements of Housing Works, Used Book Café, Inc., Housing
Works, Thrift Shop, Inc., Housing Works, Food Services, Inc., Housing Works, Services II, Inc., Housing
Works, Services IV, Inc., Housing Works Services V, Inc., Housing Works, Services VI, Inc., Housing
Works Housing Development Fund Corporation, Housing Works, East New York Housing Development
Fund Corporation, Housing Works, Harlem Housing Development Fund Corporation, Inc., Housing Works
Pitkin Avenue Housing Development Fund Corporation, Inc., Housing Works 874 Jefferson Avenue
Housing Development Fund Corporation, Inc., Bronx Claremont Parkway G.P., Inc., Housing Works, 220
Hull Housing Development Fund Corporation, Positive Health Project, Inc., Housing Works, Lyman
Prospect Housing Development Fund Corporation, and Bronx Claremont Housing Development Fund
Corporation were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and
fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there
are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
Organization's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated
financial statements are issued.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and
Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in
the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated
financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Organization's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion
is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the Organization's ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements
as a whole. The consolidating supplementary information on pages 31 and 32 and the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards on pages 33 to 35, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived
from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated
financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 30,
2023 on our consideration of the Organization’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 solely 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 the
effectiveness of the Organization’s 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 Housing Works, Inc., and Affiliates' internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") using the
accrual basis of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Net assets
Net assets, revenues and releases from restriction are classified based on the existence or absence
of donor or board-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, the net assets of HWI and the changes therein
are classified and reported in two categories of net assets:
Net assets without donor restrictions - Represent net assets which are not restricted by donors.
Net assets without donor restrictions are funds that are fully available for the Organization to utilize
in any of its programs or supporting services. Net assets without donor restrictions may also be
designated for specific purposes by the Organization's Board of Directors or may be limited by
legal requirements or contractual agreements with outside parties.
Net assets with donor restrictions - Represent net assets which are subject to donor-imposed
restrictions whose use is restricted by time and/or purpose. Net assets with donor restrictions are
subject to donor-imposed restrictions that require the Organization to use or expend the gifts as
specified, based on purpose or passage of time. Net assets released from restrictions reflect the
fulfillment of the time or purpose restrictions specified by the donors.
Net assets with donor restrictions also include the corpus of gifts, which must be maintained in
perpetuity, but allows for the expenditure of net investment income and gains earned on the
corpus for either specified or unspecified purposes in accordance with donor stipulations.
12
Housing Works, Inc., and Affiliates
Long-lived assets
The Organization reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Some factors
the Organization considers important, which could trigger an impairment review, include: (i) significant
underperformance compared to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii)
significant changes in the Organization's use of the acquired assets or the strategy for its overall
business; and (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends.
Leases
The Organization determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception of a
contract. A contract is determined to be or contain a lease if the contract conveys the right to control
the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) in exchange for consideration.
The Organization determines these assets are leased because the Organization has the right to
obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from and the right to direct the use of the identified
asset. Assets in which the supplier or lessor has the practical ability and right to substitute alternative
assets for the identified asset and would benefit economically from the exercise of its right to
substitute the asset are not considered to be or contain a lease because the Organization determines
it does not have the right to control and direct the use of the identified asset. The Organization's lease
agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
In evaluating its contracts, the Organization separately identifies lease and non-lease components,
such as common area and other maintenance costs, in calculating the right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities for its office buildings, apartments, and vehicles. The Organization has elected the practical
expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and classifies the contract as a lease if
consideration in the contract allocated to the lease component is greater than the consideration
allocated to the non-lease component.
Contributions, both cash and in-kind, are recorded in the period received as revenue with donor
restrictions and revenue without donor restrictions depending upon the existence or absence of
donor-imposed stipulations. When a donor restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time
restriction ends or purpose restriction is met, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net
assets without donor restrictions and reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of
activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions to be received after one year are
discounted at an appropriate discount rate. Amortization of the discount is recorded as additional
contribution revenue in accordance with donor imposed restrictions, if any. Conditional promises to
give are not recognized until they become unconditional, that is, when the condition on which they
depend is substantially met.
13
Housing Works, Inc., and Affiliates
In-kind contributions of clothing, books and various other items are recorded as revenue and also
capitalized as part of the Organization's inventory. Upon the sale of these goods, the inventory is
relieved, and a related gift-in-kind expense is recorded representing the cost of the goods sold.
Revenue from governmental grants and contracts is recognized as either contributions or exchange
transaction revenues, depending on whether the transaction is reciprocal or nonreciprocal. For
contributions, revenue is recognized when a contribution becomes unconditional. Typically, the
contract and grant agreements contain a right of return or right of release from the respective
obligation provision on the part of the grantor and the Organization has limited discretion over how
funds transferred should be spent. As such, the Organization recognizes revenue for these
conditional contributions when the related barrier to entitlement has been overcome, which is primarily
when the related expenses are incurred in accordance with the terms of the respective grant or
contract agreement. Funds received in advance of conditions being met are reported as deferred
revenue within the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position.
Revenues
In accordance with ASC 606, the Organization recognizes revenue when control of the promised
goods or services are transferred to the customers or outside parties in an amount that reflects the
consideration the Organization expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The
standard outlines a five-step model whereby revenue is recognized as performance obligations within
a contract are satisfied.
ASC 606 also requires new and expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition to ensure an
understanding as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising
from contracts with customers. The Organization has identified bookstore sales, thrift shops sales,
health service revenue, pharmacy revenue, rental income on apartments, food services and other
revenue as revenue categories subject to the adoption of ASC 606. The Organization recognizes
contracts with customers, as goods or services are transferred or provided in accordance with ASC
606.
Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by the
Organization. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized based on actual
charges incurred in relation to total expected (or actual) charges. The Organization believes that this
method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance
obligation based on the inputs needed to satisfy the obligation. Generally, performance obligations
satisfied over time relate to patients receiving services in outpatient centers. The Organization
measures the performance obligation from the commencement of an outpatient service to the point
when it is no longer required to provide services to that patient, which is generally at the time of
completion of the outpatient services.
14
Housing Works, Inc., and Affiliates
The Organization's performance obligations consist primarily of outpatient services that occur within
one day of a patient's visit; thus, there were no unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance
obligations at the end of the reporting period.
The Organization determines the transaction price based on standard charges for goods and services
provided, reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to
uninsured patients in accordance with the Organization's policy, and implicit price concessions
provided to uninsured patients. The Organization determines its estimates of contractual adjustments
and discounts based on contractual agreements, its discount policies, and historical experience. The
Organization determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection
experience with this class of patients.
Agreements with third-party payors typically provide for payments at amounts less than established
charges. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors follows:
Medicaid - Reimbursements for Medicaid services are generally paid at prospectively determined
rates per visit or per covered member.
Other - Payment agreements with certain commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance
organizations, and preferred provider organizations provide for payment using prospectively
determined rates per visit, discounts from established charges, and prospectively determined
daily rates.
Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are
complex and subject to varying interpretation. As a result of investigations by governmental agencies,
various healthcare organizations have received requests for information and notices regarding
alleged noncompliance with those laws and regulations, which, in some instances, have resulted in
organizations entering into significant settlement agreements. Compliance with such laws and
regulations may also be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant
regulator action, including fines, penalties, and potential exclusion from the related programs. There
can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challenge the Organization's compliance with
these laws and regulations, and it is not possible to determine the impact (if any) such claims, or
penalties would have upon the Organization. In addition, the contracts the Organization has with
commercial payors also provide for retroactive audit and review of claims.
Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews, or
investigations are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the
estimated transaction price for providing patient care. These settlements are estimated based on the
terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor, and the
Organization's historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that
a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the
uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved.
Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known (that is, new
information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits,
reviews, and investigations.

Generally, patients who are covered by third-party payors are responsible for related deductibles and
coinsurance, which vary in amount. The Organization also provides services to uninsured patients
and offers those uninsured patients a discount, either by policy or law, from standard charges. The
Organization estimates the transaction price for patients with deductibles and coinsurance and from
those who are uninsured based on historical experience and current market conditions. The initial
estimate of the transaction price is determined by reducing the standard charge by any contractual
adjustments, discounts, and implicit price concessions. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the
transaction price are generally recorded as adjustments to health service revenue in the period of the
change.
Subsequent changes that are determined to be the result of an adverse change in the patient's ability
to pay are recorded as bad debt expense.
Consistent with the Organization's mission, care is provided to patients regardless of their ability to
pay. Therefore, the Organization has determined it has provided implicit price concessions to
uninsured patients and patients with other uninsured balances (for example copays, and deductibles).
The implicit price concessions included in estimating the transaction price represent the difference
between amounts billed to patients and the amounts the Organization expects to collect based on its
collection history with those patients.
The Organization is open to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. In the ordinary course of
business, the Organization renders services to patients who are financially unable to pay for
healthcare. The Organization provides care to these patients who meet certain criteria under its
sliding fee discount policy without charge or at amounts less than established rates. Charity care
services are computed using a sliding fee scale based on patient income and family size.
The Organization maintains records to identify and monitor the level of sliding fee discount it provides.
For uninsured self-pay patients that do not qualify for charity care, the Organization recognizes
revenue on the basis of its standard rates for services provided or on the basis of discounted rates,
if negotiated or provided by policy. On the basis of historical experience, a significant portion of the
Organization's uninsured patients will be unable or unwilling to pay for the services provided. Thus,
the Organization records an explicit concession to uninsured patients in the period the services are
provided based on historical experience.
Community benefit represents the cost of services for Medicaid, Medicare, and other public patients
for which the Organization is not reimbursed. Based on the cost of patient services, charity care and
community benefit amounted to $17,526,195 and $28,539,474, respectively, for the year ended June
30, 2022. Such amounts determined to qualify as charity care are not reported as revenue.
The Organization has determined that the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows are affected by the following factors: payors, geography, service lines, method of
reimbursement, and timing of when revenue is recognized.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Organization wrote off $885,050 of pharmacy receivable
based on third party-specific impairment events.
Apartment rents are paid partially by the tenants and partially subsidized through various federal
programs.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Performance indicator
The consolidated statement of activities includes change in net assets as the performance indicator.

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $327,000 for the year
ended June 30, 2022 and are included in "Other expenses" on the consolidated statement of
functional expenses.
Taxes
The Organization, except BCP, is exempt from federal income taxation by virtue of being an
organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC. Nevertheless, the Organization may be
subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded
by the IRC.
The Organization follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to consolidated financial statement
recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax
position can only be recognized in the consolidated financial statements if the position is "more-likely-
than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment
of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the
likelihood that the tax position may be challenged.
Management has analyzed tax positions taken by the consolidated entities and has concluded that,
as of June 30, 2022, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would
require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
Management and general expenses include costs not identifiable with any specific program, but
which provide for the overall support and direction of the Organization.
Fundraising costs are expensed as incurred, even though they may result in contributions
received in future years.

(i) qualitative information about whether the contributed nonfinancial assets were or are intended to
be either monetized or utilized during the reporting period and future periods; if utilized, a description
of the programs or other activities in which those assets were or are intended to be used; (ii) a
description of any donor restrictions associated with the contributed nonfinancial assets; and (iii) the
valuation techniques and inputs used to arrive at a fair value measure, including the principal market
(or most advantageous market) if significant, in accordance with the requirements in Topic 820. The
Organization has only one type of nonfinancial asset, which consists of donated goods for the thrift
shops and bookstore. The nonfinancial asset is stated at estimated fair value at the date of the gift.
Fair value is determined using sales history and, as such, approximates the actual sales price of the
donated items.
New pronouncement
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 to reflect management's current estimate of expected
credit losses as opposed to current US GAAP, which delayed recognition until the loss was probable.
As a result of the ASU, management will be required to perform an assessment of expected credit
losses on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions,
and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.
In the period of adoption, the entity will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to changes in net assets
and in subsequent years, changes in the current expected credit loss for the reporting period are
reported on the consolidated statement of activities. The amendments affect loans, debt securities,
trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance
receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have a contractual right
to receive cash.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 - "Codification Improvements to Topic 326,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". There were additional amendments to this ASU in May 2019,
when the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 - "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted
Transition Relief". The amendments in these ASUs extended the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to
be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and will therefore be effective for the
Organization's 2023 fiscal year. The Organization is in the process of evaluating the impact this
standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

On June 7, 2010, BCP, an entity controlled by HWI, was admitted without consideration as General
Partner to Fitzpatrick with a partnership interest of 1%. Fitzpatrick was formed to acquire, own,
construct, develop, manage and operate a supportive housing facility. The facility consists of 18
apartment units available for rental to homeless and low-income individuals. The facility was financed
through a note from the Homeless Housing Assistance Corporation ("HHAC") in the amount of
approximately $2.1 million and through the sale of limited partnership interests to the Prior Limited
Partner. On December 21, 2019, the Prior Limited Partner transferred its 99.99% interest in Fitzpatrick
to BCHDFC, effectively making HWI 100% owner of Fitzpatrick. BCP still owns 0.01% of the
partnership and remains General Partner, whereas BCHDFC is the limited partner.

On May 1, 2020, HWS3 entered into an unsecured promissory note with a commercial bank for
$2,530,337 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP" Loan), which was established
under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and is administered by
the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA"). Under the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients
meeting certain criteria set by the SBA may be eligible for full or partial forgiveness of such loans.
During the year ended June 30, 2022, HWS3 submitted its application for PPP Loan forgiveness and
received notice from its lender in August 6, 2021 that the SBA approved forgiveness of the full amount
of the loan and related interest thereon. Accordingly, the Organization derecognized $2,530,337 of
the PPP Loan and recognized a corresponding gain on debt forgiveness, included in "Extinguishment
of debt" on the consolidated statement of activities. There is a six-year period during which the SBA
can review BH's forgiveness calculation.

to uninsured patient accounts and patient accounts for which the primary insurance payor has paid
but patient responsibility amounts remain outstanding.
The Organization participated in the United States federal program requiring drug manufactures to
provide outpatient drugs to eligible healthcare organizations at significantly reduced prices. The intent
of the program is to allow entities to stretch federal resources, reaching more eligible patients and
providing more comprehensive services to them. The Organization has contracted with community
pharmacies to administer these services to their patients for a fee. These contracts authorize the
pharmacy to bill Medicaid, Medicare and third-party insurance remitting the collected funds less their
fees to the Organization. The pharmacy fees cover the cost of drugs and administrative fees and
allow the pharmacy to purchase directly from the drug wholesalers the drugs which replenish their
stock. As of July 1, 2022, the Organization had pharmacy receivables amounting to approximately
$2,974,000. At June 30, 2022, the Organization recognized revenue of approximately $27,397,000,
and expenses of approximately $17,838,000 for the cost of drugs and administrative fees. For the
year ended June 30, 2022, the cost of drugs in the amount of approximately $16,310,000 is presented
as cost of goods sold and the administrative fees in the amount of approximately $3,591,000 is
presented as contracted services within the accompanying consolidated statement of functional
expenses.
The Bronx-Claremont homeless housing facility associated with Fitzpatrick was financed through two
notes. The first note is from the HHAC, and closed on July 30, 1997, in the amount of $2,113,216
with a term of 30 years. The note bears no interest and repayment is not required as long as the
housing facility remains available for low-income persons in accordance with regulatory agreements
and regulations. The Organization believes that the possibility of the facility not maintaining its status
as a low-income housing facility throughout the term of the advance is remote, and therefore,
repayment would not be required. At June 30, 2022, the unamortized balance of approximately
$569,000 was reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position as "Deferred revenue". The
second note is from the NYC Department of Housing and Urban Development and closed in
November 1995 in the amount of $150,000 under a similar arrangement also covering a 30-year term.
At June 30, 2022, the unamortized balance of approximately $31,000 was reflected in the
consolidated statement of financial position as "Deferred revenue".
During the fiscal year 2012, the Organization's JEFF received funds of $252,608 from the NYC
Department of Housing Preservation and Development under a similar arrangement which covers a
25-year term. At June 30, 2022, the unamortized balance of approximately $177,000 was reflected
in the consolidated statement of financial position as part of "Deferred revenue".

During the fiscal year 2014, the Organization acquired two additional properties with a fair value of
approximately $2,250,000 as part of a contract with the HHAC. The contract has a remaining term of
14 years and requires the Organization to provide housing for persons that would otherwise be
homeless. Performance under the terms of the contract is secured by mortgage notes on the
properties that are only payable in the event the Organization defaults under the terms of the contract.
The Organization believes that the possibility of the facility not maintaining its status as a homeless
housing facility throughout the term of the contract to be remote, and therefore, repayment would not
be required. At June 30, 2022, the unamortized balance of approximately $1,380,000 was reflected
in the consolidated statement of financial position as "Deferred revenue".
During the fiscal year 2017, the Organization's HULL entered into an agreement with the HHAC and
other agencies to establish and operate a project to provide housing for homeless people. The
agreements cover a 25-year term with the maximum amount to be received of approximately
$9,216,000. Repayment is not required as long as the housing facility remains available for low-
income persons in accordance with regulatory agreements and regulations. The Organization
believes that the possibility of the facility not maintaining its status as a low-income housing facility
throughout the term of the advance is remote, and therefore, repayment would not be required. At
June 30, 2022, the unamortized balance of approximately $8,586,000 was reflected in the
consolidated statement of financial position as part of "Deferred revenue".
During the fiscal year 2019, HWI acquired two more entities, BH, Inc., and Bailey Holt House. Bailey
Holt House had entered into an agreement with the HHAC to operate a project and provide housing
for homeless and low-income people. The agreement ("performance mortgage") was signed in 1999
for a 30-year term in the amount of approximately $5,165,000. Repayment is not required if the
housing facility remains for homeless and low-income individuals and all regulations and
requirements of the performance mortgage are met. As of June 30, 2022, the unamortized balance
of approximately $1,693,000 is reflected as part of "Deferred revenue".
Deferred revenue also includes amounts collected in advance of special events which were
postponed until local venues re-opened. These amounts totaled approximately $74,000 as of June
30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, net assets with donor restrictions are restricted for the following purposes or

During fiscal 2006, the Organization received two donor-restricted endowments. One was established
in the name of Keith Cylar and the other as a general endowment. During the year ended June 30,
2012, the Organization received permission from the two largest contributors to the endowment
stating that the funds they contributed could be borrowed to cover operating costs and as such
liquidated these assets during the year. Management plans to replenish the borrowed endowment
funds.
On September 17, 2010, New York State passed the New York State Prudent Management of
Institutional Funds Act ("NYPMIFA"), its version of the UPMIFA. All not-for-profit organizations formed
in New York must apply this law. The Organization classifies donor-restricted endowment funds as
permanently restricted net assets, unless otherwise stipulated by the donor: (a) the original value of
gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent
endowment and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the
direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the funds.
The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund not classified in permanently restricted
net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for
expenditure by the Organization in a manner consistent with the uses, benefits, purposes and
duration for which the endowment is established and the standard of prudence prescribed by
NYPMIFA.
In accordance with NYPMIFA, the Organization considers the following factors in making a
determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: the purpose, duration,
and preservation of the endowment fund; expected total return of investments; general economic
conditions; the possible effects of inflation and deflation; other resources of the Organization; and the
investment policy of the Organization.
The following table illustrates the changes in the Organization's endowment net assets as of June
30, 2022:
There were no endowment related activities for the year ended June 30, 2022.
The Organization established a defined contribution plan for all eligible employees effective
December 21, 1999. Effective July 1, 2019, after modifying the plan, the Organization began
matching half of each employee's contribution to the 403(b) plan up to 4% of their salary. Additionally,
a vesting schedule applies to all employer contributions made to the plan. Vesting occurs at intervals
of 20% starting at two years of employment until six years when the employee would be considered
100% vested in all contributions made by the Organization. The Organization's contributions for the
year ended June 30, 2022, amounted to approximately $280,000.

The Organization leases building space and office equipment. All contracts that implicitly or explicitly
involve property, plant and equipment are evaluated to determine whether they are or contain a lease.
At lease commencement, the Organization recognizes a lease liability, which is measured at the
present value of future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset equal to the lease
liability, adjusted for prepaid lease costs, initial direct costs and lease incentives, where the initial term
of the lease exceeds 12 months. The Organization has elected and applies the practical expedient
available to lessees to combine non-lease components with their related lease components and
account for them as a single combined lease component for all its leases. The Organization
remeasures lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets whenever there is a change to the lease
term and/or there is a change in the amount of future lease payments, but only when such modification
does not qualify to be accounted for as a separate contract. Variable lease payments are excluded
for purposes of calculating the operating right-of-use assets and operating lease obligations unless
the variable lease payments depend on an index or rate or are in substance fixed payments.
The Organization determines an appropriate discount rate to apply when determining the present
value of the remaining lease payments for purposes of measuring or remeasuring lease liabilities. As
the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable, the Organization estimates its
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Organization’s incremental borrowing rate,
which is determined at either lease commencement or when a lease liability is remeasured, is an
estimate of the interest rate it would pay on a collateralized borrowing, for an amount equal to the
amount and currency of denomination of the lease payments, over a period commensurate with the
lease term and in a similar economic environment.
For accounting purposes, the Organization’s leases commence on the earlier of (i) the date upon
which the Organization obtains control of the underlying asset and (ii) the contractual effective date
of a lease. Lease commencement for most of the Organization’s leases coincides with the contractual
effective date. The Organization’s leases generally have minimum base terms with renewal options
or fixed terms with early termination options. Such renewal and early termination options are
exercisable at the option of the Organization and, when exercised, usually provide for rental payments
during the extension period at then current market rates or at pre-determined rental amounts. Unless
the Organization determines that it is reasonably certain that the term of a lease will be extended,
such as through the exercise of a renewal option or non-exercise of an early termination option, the
term of a lease begins at lease commencement and spans for the duration of the minimum non-
cancellable contractual term. When the exercise of a renewal option or non-exercise of an early
termination option is reasonably certain, the lease term is measured as ending at the end of the
renewal period or on the date an early termination may be exercised. There are no residual value
guarantees.
Lease expense for operating leases continues to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the lease and is included in "Occupancy" expenses on the consolidated statement of functional
expenses.

The Organization has been named in several lawsuits in the normal course of business. In the opinion
of management, these claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Organization's consolidated financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows.
The Organization participates in a number of federal and state programs. These programs require
that the Organization comply with certain requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and
agreements applicable to the programs in which it participates. All funds expended in connection with
government grants and contracts are subject to audit by government agencies. While the ultimate
liability, if any, from such audits of government contracts by government agencies is presently not
determinable, it should not, in the opinion of management, have a material effect on the
Organization's consolidated financial position or change in net assets. Accordingly, no provision for
any such liability that may result has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
The Organization regularly monitors liquidity required to meet its operating needs and other
contractual commitments, while also maintaining sufficient funds to provide reasonable assurance
that commitments and obligations supporting mission fulfillment will continue to be met. The
Organization has various sources of liquidity at its disposal, including approximately $6 million of
cash. Additionally, the Organization has a $6 million line of credit available to utilize for purposes of
operating expenditures.
For purposes of analyzing resources available to meet general expenditures over a 12-month period,
the Organization considers all expenditures related to its ongoing operating activities to support those
activities to be general expenditures. As of June 30, 2022, the following table shows the total financial
assets held by the Organization that could readily be made available within one year of the
consolidated statement of financial position date to meet general expenditures:

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
We have 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,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the consolidated financial statements of Housing
Works, Inc., and Affiliates (collectively, the "Organization"), which comprise the consolidated statement
of financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional
expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial
statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2023. The financial statements of
Housing Works, Used Book Café, Inc., Housing Works, Thrift Shop, Inc., Housing Works, Food Services,
Inc., Housing Works, Services II, Inc., Housing Works, Services IV, Inc., Housing Works, Services V, Inc.,
Housing Works, Services VI, Inc., Housing Works, Housing Development Fund Corporation, Housing

Parkway G.P., Inc., Housing Works, 220 Hull Housing Development Fund Corporation, Positive Health
Project, Inc., Housing Works, Lyman Prospect Housing Development Fund Corporation, and Bronx
Claremont Housing Development Fund Corporation, were not audited in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and, accordingly, this report does not include reporting on internal control over
financial reporting or instances of reportable noncompliance associated with these entities.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we considered the
Organization's internal control over financial reporting ("internal control") as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
consolidated financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Organization'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 Organization's consolidated 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.
38
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting 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 and therefore, material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies may exist that were not identified. 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. We identified a certain deficiency in internal control,
as item 2022-01, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, that we
consider to be a significant deficiency.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. 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.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Organization’s
response to the finding identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings
and questioned costs as item 2022-01. The Organization’s response was not subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, we express no
opinion on the response.
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 Organization'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 Organization's internal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
39
Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance for Each Major
Federal Program and Report on Internal Control over
Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited Housing Works, Inc., and Affiliates’ (collectively, the "Organization’s") compliance with
the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement
that could have a direct and material effect on the Organization's major federal programs for the year
ended June 30, 2022. The Organization's major federal programs are identified in the summary of
auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the Organization complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for
the year ended June 30, 2022.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAS"); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States ("Government Auditing
Standards"); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform
Guidance”). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described
in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the Organization and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Organization's compliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of
laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the
Organization's federal programs.
40
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Auditor's Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on the Organization's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect
material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from
fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually
or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on
compliance about the Organization's compliance with the requirements of each major federal program
as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on
a test basis, evidence regarding the Organization's compliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of the Organization's internal control over compliance relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and
report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control
over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
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 a 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.
41
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses,
as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over
compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
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 the
Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Finding 2022-01 Reconciliation of Financial Statement Accounts and Inaccurate SEFA (Significant
Deficiency)
Criteria:
Subledgers for significant account balances should be reconciled to the general ledger on a timely basis
in order to ensure accurate reporting and to investigate unreconciled balances.
Further, the Uniform Guidance requires that the auditee prepare a SEFA for the period covered by the
auditee’s financial statements. At a minimum, the schedule shall:
Include the name of the pass-through entity and the identifying number assigned by the pass-
through entity for all Federal awards expended for each individual Federal program and the
Assistance Listing Number or other identifying number when the Assistance Listing Number
information is not available.
Identify to the extent practical, the total amount provided to subrecipients from each Federal
program for Federal awards received as a pass-through entity.
Condition:
Certain significant account balances were not reconciled throughout the fiscal year under audit resulting
in two large adjustments provided by management and one adjustment provided by the auditors to correct
year-end balances. One of these adjustments impacted grants and contracts revenue, which in turn
affected the SEFA reporting.
The Organization’s processes over identifying federally funded grants and confirming federal funds was
not performed until five months after year end, which resulted in delays preparing a SEFA. In addition,
the SEFA provided to the auditors by the Organization did not accurately reflect certain Federal
expenditures and Assistance Listing Number information.
Cause:
Internal controls over reporting and over the accurate preparation and completeness of the SEFA were
not operating effectively or in a timely manner.
Effect:
Management had to record adjusting entries during the audit which led to increased audit procedures,
audit delays, and an improper SEFA. Improper SEFA and delays in identifying whether an award is
federally funded could result in errors in accounting, revenue recognition, disallowed costs, and
noncompliance with Uniform Guidance requirements.
Recommendation:
We recommend the Organization strengthen its policies and procedures for reconciliation of significant
account balances during the year and at year-end and for the identification of Federal awards to ensure
preparation of financial reports and a complete and accurate SEFA is performed in a timely manner and
in accordance with the requirements of Office and Management and Budget.
44
Housing Works, Inc. and Affiliates
Management will evaluate and make necessary adjustments for any funding awards received after the
fiscal year end that relate to the current period under audit to include any potential federal funding in the
proper period. Grant Accountants will reach out to all contract funders prior to the fiscal year end, to
confirm the funding source for new and recurring contracts in case the source has changed from prior
years.
The finance department also re-allocated other senior accounting personnel to concentrate on
processing grant claims, so that the Organization can prepare and submit required financial reports in
accordance with its grant agreements.
None reported.
