Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 13-2 <br />PART I. OWNERS IN THE HCV PROGRAM <br />13-I.A. OWNER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION [HCV GB, pp. 2-4 to 2-6; <br />HCV Landlord Strategy Guidebook for PHAs] <br />Recruitment <br />PHAs are responsible for ensuring that very low-income families have access to all types and <br />ranges of affordable housing in the PHA’s jurisdiction, particularly housing outside areas of <br />poverty or minority concentration. A critical element in fulfilling this responsibility is for the <br />PHA to ensure that a sufficient number of owners, representing all types and ranges of affordable <br />housing in the PHA’s jurisdiction, are willing to participate in the HCV program. <br />To accomplish this objective, PHAs must identify and recruit new owners to participate in the <br />program. <br />If the PHA will be conducting outreach events, the PHA must ensure that notices and <br />communications during outreach events are provided in a manner that is effective for persons <br />with hearing, visual, and other communications-related disabilities. PHAs must also take <br />reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to programs to persons with limited English <br />proficiency. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will conduct owner outreach to ensure that owners are familiar with the program <br />and its advantages. SAHA will actively recruit property owners with property located <br />outside areas of poverty and minority concentration. These outreach strategies will <br />include: <br />Distributing printed material about the program to property owners and managers <br />Contacting property owners and managers by phone or in-person <br />Holding owner recruitment/information meetings at least once a year <br />Participating in community-based organizations comprised of private property <br />and apartment owners and managers (e.g. Apartment Association of Orange <br />County) <br />Developing working relationships with owners, apartment associations, industry <br />investor groups, and real estate brokers associations <br />To the extent practical, partnering with and attending events hosted by other area <br />agencies to deliver information about the HCV program <br />Outreach strategies will be monitored for effectiveness and adapted accordingly. <br />EXHIBIT 1
