Housing Authority Maintains High Performance Rating
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority achieved a 96% score on its 2024 Section Eight Management Assessment Program certification, maintaining its status as a high performer during Tuesday's board meeting.
The SEMAP certification is an annual federal audit of the Housing Choice Voucher Program that evaluates 14 performance indicators. Staff reported the authority has maintained high performer status since the early 2000s through rigorous quality control measures including peer audits, inspection reviews and regular policy updates.
Four key indicators represent 55% of the overall SEMAP score, including selections from waiting lists, rent reasonableness determinations, income calculations and budget utilization. The authority must spend at least 98% of its allocated budget authority to meet federal requirements.
The board also received updates on federal funding for Community Development Block Grant and Housing Choice Voucher programs. The Finance Department will present information about major federal grants to the City Council on April 22.
Construction is expected to begin soon at the 9030 Park development project, with the authority nearing closing on the project. The next HRA meeting is scheduled for May 13, resuming the regular schedule of second and fourth Tuesdays.
