EXHIBIT 1 <br />ESIDENT ADVISORY BOARD- SPANISH 2/6/2026 <br />Online attendance: 0 <br />In -person attendance: 4 <br />Question One: What are your housing needs and what would you rank as your top three housing <br />needs? <br />• Good management- I like where I live. I have lived in my unit for 12 years, if somethings broken, <br />management fixes it. For example, If the stove breaks they fix it. The fridge goes out they fix it, <br />they act fast. <br />• Clean and safe property- My property doesn't allow messy units; such as curtain, plants and <br />other things. I keep my property clean. <br />• We are comfortable were we live. <br />• Thank god, everything is going well. <br />• Inspections- When the inspector comes, inspectors like my unit because it's always clean. <br />Question two: What recommendations do you have to more effectively address your housing needs? <br />• The housing Authority is close to where I live. I use the bus, I don't have a car and I can come <br />visit when I need to. I am happy where I live, no problems. <br />• We keep to ourselves, happy where we live. <br />• Everything is going well, thank god. <br />Question three: As the largest housing assistance provider in our community, what do you think SAHA <br />should do to address the housing needs in our community? <br />• Rent increases- Rent has increase drastically; however, every time it goes up I bring the increase <br />to my worker and they fix it. <br />• Rent increases- The increase is complicated when we have families and hurts due to the rising <br />cost of everything. <br />• The utilities- have increased even for someone like me that's living alone. At my property <br />utilities are shared and divided, they shouldn't be that high. I must keep all lights on due to <br />darkness and there is risk in the dark <br />• Electricity is high but there are programs that help lower the cost, CARES program helps with <br />lowering the cost. <br />• Electricity is fine in my unit because I have plenty of windows. <br />• Assist in person- due to age I prefer in person visits to address my housing needs. <br />Question 4: What recommendations do you have to change or improve our Eligibility, Selection and <br />Admissions Policies, including Deconcentration and Waiting List Procedures? <br />• Check background <br />Pick who best fits the program: Some people need the assistance more than others, like families <br />or single mothers. <br />• Cut down the waiting time to be selected, its taking years to get picked. <br />Question 5: What recommendations do you have to change or improve our Rent Determination <br />Policies? <br />
