HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Administrative Plan for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is used to establish local policies for administration of the federal program in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements. On occasion, the Plan must be amended to remain in compliance with program guidelines. Amendments to the plan are proposed in response to legislative and programmatic changes implemented by HUD through the passage of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016; Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Notice 2016-05, Streamlining Administrative Regulations for Programs Administered by Public Housing Agencies; and PIH Notice 2015-19, Guidance for Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and Owners of Federally-Assisted Housing on Excluding the Use of Arrest Records in Housing Decisions. A summary of the amendments is presented in Attachment 1.
In addition to the amendments, the text of the Plan has been updated throughout to provide greater clarity and create a more user-friendly document for program participants and the public. Both the current and draft HCV Administrative Plans are available for review on the Housing Division page of the City of Pensacola website.
