PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing and approve submission of the Five-Year Public
Housing Agency (PHA) 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 far achieving its mission over the next five (5) years -Fiscal Years
2005-2010, The last plan was approved by the Board of Commissioners on January 18, 2001.
Currently, the Section 8 Housing Program serves approximately 600 families throughout the
County including the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. The program currently
has a waiting list of approximately 900 applicants, A complete status report for the program is
attached to this abstract.
HUD provides a template for the plan and the County's proposed Five-Year PHA Plan is
provided with this abstract. The plan will be made available for public comment for the period
April 8, 2005 to May 23, 2005 as advertised in the Chapel Hill Herald. All public comment
received will be incorporated into the PHA Plan. There are substantive changes proposed in
the new Five Year PHA Plan.
This plan must be filed with HUD and must contain the attached draft Certifications of
Compliance/Board Resolution signed by the Chair of the Board of Commissioners in order to
continue to administer the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Program,
2
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is na immediate impact,
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 Certifications of
Compliance/Board Resolution on behalf of the Board following final completion by staff.
Orange Count Section Eight Housing Voucher Choice Pragram
Status Report
Background
The Section 8 Hausing 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 sanitary housing.. 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 mare than 1.4 million households in the United States by paying
private landlords the difference between what the household can afford and the rent far the unit,
In Orange County, the program is administered by the Orange County Hausing and Community
Development Department and serves approximately 623 families countywide.
The administering housing authority ar government agency is also responsible for inspecting the
selected housing unit to make sure it complies with the Housing and Urban Development's
(HUD) Hausing Quality Standards and ensuring that the rent charged is reasonable for the local
housing market.
The fallowing information provides summary information regarding the current status of the
Section 8 Program in Orange County,
Funding Capacity
The U,S, Department of Hausing and Urban Development provides funding for the Section 8
Pragram. The approved Section 8 budget for Fiscal Year 2004-2005 is $4,410,531. Given
HUD's funding scheme, this amount should allow us to fund approximately 623 vouchers,
however, that number might decrease in coming months to keep actual expenses in line with
current revenue. Increasing rental rates and the bedroom composition of our participants our
actual costs are being monitored closely to ensure that actual program expenses da not exceed
budget authority. Thus the total number of units financed by the program may be reduced in the
naming months.
Current Program Characteristics
~ Approximately 269 property owners lease property to 623 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 Carrbaro/Chapel Hill area (Southern
Orange County),
~ Racial family composition: approx60% African-American; 37% Caucasian; 3%
Other..
~ Most non-elderly heads of households are working families.
~ Most families lease two-bedroom units,
4
~ Current waiting list totals 964 families and applications are presently be accepted
in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. (Approximately 700 of these
families have applied since the waiting list was reopened in August 2004.)
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 2005 - 2006 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,.
