In April 2007, the Housing Authority underwent a “Consolidated Review” audit of its operations and finances by HUD officials. Responses to findings made during this review require changes to the Administrative Plan. Specifically, the Plan has been updated to include:
• Revisions to the local residency preference language to add local employment language (Chapter 4);
• Revisions to the order of selection for the Section 8 waiting list (Chapter 4);
• Additional language regarding Project-Based Assistance applications and order of selection (Chapter 4);
• Revision of the definition of life threatening conditions for inspections (Chapter 8)
Also, new regulations arising from the full implementation of the Violence Against Women Act necessitated modifications to the Plan to insure that special circumstances that may arise in relationships suffering from domestic violence are recognized and accommodated.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.
