FROM: city staff
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Submission of an
Application for 80 Housing Assistance Vouchers
INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) thru a
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) appearing in the July 29,
1992 Federal Register has informed housing authorities of the
availability of new Vouchers for the section 8 Program. This
report transmits for adoption a resolution authorizing the
submission of an application for 80 Vouchers.
BACKGROUND
The Santa Monica Housing Authority administers two types of federal
rental assistance programs: (1) the section 8 Housing certificate
Program and (2) the section 8 Housing Voucher Program. Both
programs provide assistance to participating households. As
families move, the assistance moves with them rather than being
dedicated to the units. Both are based on the tenant paying 30% of
their adjusted income as their portion of the rent. The Santa
Monica Housing Authority currently has an allocation of 200
Vouchers and 617 Certificates, of which 25 are designated for FSS.

FISCAL/BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding to Santa Monica Housing Authority section 8 Program Voucher
holders are budgeted at account number 12-700-699-00000-7734-00000.
The adopted budget for FY 1992-93 anticipates an 80 unit increase.
Further, at any time, approximately 98% of currently allocated
units are leased. Due to budget factors and given the lead time
necessary to secure federal approval and to implement leasing of
the additional units staff believes that there is sufficient
existing authority to accommodate the requested 80 units.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Housing Authority adopt the attached
resolution authorizing the submission of the application for 80
additional Vouchers.
