#6 Public Heaing and Action on Annual Public H
NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES MEMORANDUM
October 9, 2009
TO: Community Development Authority
FROM: Jennifer Petruzzello, Neighborhood Services Director
SUBJECT: Agenda Item #6: Public Hearing and Action on 5 Year and Annual
Public Housing Agency Plan (Rent Assistance Program)
Background:
The Community Development Authority prepares a 5 Year and Annual Public
Housing Agency Plan, which provide information to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development on how the City intends to locally administer
the Section 8 Rent Assistance Program.
This year, both a 5-Year and Annual Plan have been prepared for the year
beginning January 1, 2010. In addition, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development has greatly simplified the reporting form, and I feel have made the
document more useful and understandable.
I have attached a copy of the draft plan for your review and consideration. I
would encourage you to pay particular attention to sections:
* 5.1, which identifies the Mission of the Public Housing Agency
* 5.2, which identifies the quantifiable goals and objectives that the Public
Housing Agency will strive to achieve over the next year and five years, as
well as progress towards goals identified in the previous 5-Year Plan.
The City has properly announced a 45-day comment period and made this
document available for public review at the Hedberg Public Library, Janesville
Senior Center, Janesville Neighborhood Services Department, and on the City’s
website. No comments have been received to date.
A public hearing is to be held to allow a formal opportunity for citizen input on the
document.
Recommendation:
Following a public hearing, staff recommends that the CDA approve the 5Year
and Annual Public Housing Agency Plan for the year beginning January 1, 2010.
