Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

County acknowledges scarce HOH space but disputes a present expansion constraint, citing sufficient existing pods, small waitlists, screening, and at least 16 candidates needed for another pod.

Audit analysis

Partial disagreement clearly separates scarce HOH housing from current capacity adequacy and explains the distinction concretely. Named United States v. County court requirements provide a checkable basis for claimed past expansion; waitlist and capacity assertions remain unverified and future expansion conditional. Report physical PDF page(s) 466; County response physical PDF page(s) 62. Claims remain attributed; adoption date is not a filing or receipt date.
