Development PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) Yes ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Status Report Tara L. Fikes, 245-2490 Annual PHA Plan Certifications of Compliance/Board Resolution . PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing and approve submission of the Annual Public Housing Agency Plan for the Orange County Housing Authority. BACKGROUND: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) requires all agencies operating the Section 8 Existing. Housing Assistance Program to prepare a Five (5) Year Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan and an Annual Plan. The County's Department of Housing and Community Development administers the Section 8 Program that provides rent subsidies to low income families in the County. The PHA Plan is a 5-year plan that describes the mission of the Agency and the Agency's long- range goals and objectives for achieving its mission over the next five (5) years -Fiscal Years 2005-2010. The Board of County Commissioners approved the last Five (5) Year Plan on April 19, 2005. Currently, the Section 8 Housing Program serves approximately 612 families throughout the County including the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. The program currently has a waiting list of approximately 1,678 applicants. A complete status report for the program is attached to this abstract. HUD provides a template for the plan and the County's Annual Plan is provided with this abstract. The plan will be made available for public comment for the period March 13, 2007 to April 26, 2007 as advertised in the Chapel Hill Herald. All public comment received will be incorporated into the PHA Plan. There are no substantive changes proposed in the Annual Plan since the Five (5) Year Plan was approved last year. However, there are plans in the coming year to amend the Administrative Plan to include the following: 1. A provision to allow group home residents to decline the offer of a Section 8 voucher a pre-determined number of times without losing their waiting list position; and 2. Section 8 Homeownership Program Guidelines 2 This plan must be filed with HUD and must contain the attached Certification of Compliance/ Board Resolution signed by the Chair of the Board of Commissioners in order to continue to administer the Section 8 Existing Housing Choice Voucher Program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for rental subsidies for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The annual budget for these subsidies is approximately $4,164,334. Funding for the Section 8 Program has not increased over the last two years nor has there been an opportunity to receive available vouchers from other local housing authorities. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board conduct a public hearing and approve submission of the Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan for the Orange County Housing Authority and authorize the Chair to sign the Certification of Compliance/Board Resolution on behalf of the Board. ®range County Section Eight Housing Voucher Choice Program Status Deport Background The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federally funded rental assistance program administered by public housing authorities (PHAs) or other government agencies. The programs' primary purpose is "to provide rental assistance to low-income families with affordable decent, safe, and sanitaryhousing. Tenants take the voucher and use it to rent homes in the private market. Families interested in the program apply to a local housing authority or other government agency for a Section 8 tenant-based voucher- a voucher that "stays" with the tenant. Currently, Section 8 helps more than 1.4 million households in the United States by paying private landlords the difference between what the household can afford and the rent for the unit. In Orange County, the program is administered by the Orange County Housing and Community Development Department and serves approximately 623 families countywide. ~ . The administering housing authority or government agency is also responsible for inspecting the selected housing unit to make sure it complies with the Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Housing Quality Standards and ensuring that the rent'ch'arged is reasonable for the local housing market. The following information provides summary information regarding the current status of_ the Section 8 Program in Orange County. Funding Capacity The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides funding for the Section 8 Program. The approved Section 8 budget for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is $4,164,334.. Given HUD's funding scheme, this amount allows us to fund approximately 612 vouchers annually. Increasing rental rates and the bedroom composition of our participants our actual costs are being monitored closely to ensure that ~ actual program expenses do not exceed budget authority. Thus, the total number of units financed by the program may be reduced in the coming months. Current Program Characteristics . ~ Approximately 245 property owners lease property to 612 on average. ~ Of the 623 units, 599 are designated as tenant based vouchers and 24 vouchers are designated as project based vouchers for the Club Nova Apartments only. ~ The majority of the rental units are in the Garrboro/Chapel Hill area (Southern Orange County). ~ Racial family composition: approx. 63% African-American; 36% Caucasian; 1 Other. ~ Most non-elderly heads of households are working families. ~ Most families lease two-bedroom units. ~ Current waiting list totals 1,678 families and applications are presently be accepted iri the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. (Current plans are to 4 purge this waiting list in the Summer of 2007 to be sure that we maintain a current list of applicants.) Waiting List Selection Selections are made from the waiting list according to date and time of application and preference ranking. The program presently has maintained the following Waiting List Preferences for the applicants that are: a. Involuntary displaced; b. Living in substandard housing to include homeless families; c. Paying more than 50% of their income for rent and utilities; and d. Elderly and/or Disabled. Additionally, the program has the following Local Preferences for: a. Families who live, work, or have been hired to work in the jurisdiction. b. Families who are graduates or participants in an education and training program to prepare for self-sufficiency. c. Graduates of transitional housing programs for homeless persons;. substance abusers; and victims of domestic abuse. Upcoming Issues Administrative Plan amendments will be proposed during Fiscal Year 2007 - 2008 to recommend the following. 1. Provision to allow group home residents to decline the offer of a Section 8 voucher apre-determined number of times without losing their waiting list position. 2.
