REPORT - UPDATE TO HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM  
ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN TO INCLUDE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES  
THROUGH MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2016 (HOTMA) PROVISIONS  
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2025.  
BACKGROUND: The Administrative Plan is the major policy document  
guiding the ongoing administration of the federally regulated Housing  
Choice Voucher (HCV) program. Each Public Housing Agency (PHA)  
administering an HCV program is required to establish an Administrative  
Plan to outline the federal regulations and, where allowed under the  
law, enact local policies pertaining to the HCV program. The  
Administrative Plan must be reviewed at a public meeting and approved  
by the PHA’s Board of Commissioners.  
HOTMA makes significant changes to the regulations pertaining to the  
HCV program, requiring numerous substantive changes to the  
Administrative Plan across all chapters. The regulatory changes have  
been implemented in phases since 2017, with the full HOTMA  
implementation previously expected by January 1, 2025. The fully  
HOTMA-compliant Administrative Plan was approved by the Board of  
Commissioners as part of the Annual PHA Plan process on March 25,  
2024, and submitted to HUD on April 8, 2024, concurrent with the  
previous HOTMA compliance timeline for all Housing Authorities.  
However, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)  
subsequently postponed the implementation of certain provisions in  
Sections 102 and 104 of HOTMA indefinitely.  
HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Notice 2024-38  
provided the most recent guidance on which provisions of HOTMA are  
delayed and which provisions are enforceable beginning July 1, 2025.  
The version of the Administrative Plan submitted to the Housing  
Authority with this action follows the provisions in PIH Notice 2024-38.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of  
Housing and Community Services that the Housing Authority, by  
resolution, adopt the Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative  
Plan revisions that comply with the implementation requirements  
effective July 1, 2025, under the Housing Opportunities Through  
Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA).
