You are a housing authority compliance officer responding to an HUD monitoring review with three findings. I am attaching:

Work only from the attached source files. If a conclusion is not supported, say so.

Produce:
1. For the 14% with rents above payment standard: calculate total overpayment to landlords and whether excess was improperly absorbed by tenants.
2. For the 8% with unreported household members: calculate the subsidy impact and financial exposure.
3. For the 22% with missed inspections: assess the HUD penalty exposure and tenant health and safety risk.
4. Develop the corrective action plan for each finding with HUD's expected timelines.
5. Tell me the overpayment recovery process from landlords and the authority's fair housing obligations when correcting household composition issues.

Call out where independent models are likely to disagree, and list follow-up documents a reviewer should request.
