BACKGROUND: The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of

1998 requires any Housing Authority that administers the Housing

Choice Voucher (HCV) program and/or any public housing units to

develop and adopt two types of Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plans:

the Five-Year Plan and the Annual Plan. By regulation, each PHA Plan

must be adopted by the Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners,

by resolution, during a public meeting. The PHA Plan is intended to be

a guide to the PHA’s policies, programs, operations and strategies for

meeting local housing needs and goals. The PHA Plans are made

available for public comment and reviewed by the Resident Advisory

Board (RAB) who represent participants in the Housing Authority’s

programs.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by

resolution, appoint any and all Housing Authority Commissioners who

are also Housing Choice Voucher program participants as the Resident

Advisory Board to represent the interests of those served by the

Housing Choice Voucher program, and adopt the Annual Public

Housing Agency Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 as required by the

United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for local

administration of the Housing Choice Voucher program.
