Authorize the Executive Director of the Housing Authority and Recording Secretary to execute an
agreement with Nan McKay and Associates to provide reasonable rent determination software
for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (GoSection8.com) in an amount not to exceed
$23,922, for a three-year term beginning July 2, 2019 through June 30, 2022, subject to non -
substantive changes approved by the Executive Director and the Housing Authority General
Counsel.
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its regular meeting on June 26, 2019, the Community Redevelopment and Housing
Commission (CRHC) recommended approval of the action above by a vote of 8:0 (Garcia
absent).
DISCUSSION
The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (SAHA) is required to conduct a reasonable rent
comparison whenever a voucher holder moves into a new unit (at initial occupancy) or whenever
the owner requests a rent increase. Specifically, no Housing Assistance Payment contract can be
approved until SAHA has determined that the rent for the unit is reasonable. The purpose of the
rent reasonableness test is to ensure that a fair rent is paid for each unit rented under the
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. The regulations define a reasonable rent as one that
does not exceed the rent charged for comparable, unassisted units in the same market area.
HUD also requires that owners not charge more for HCV-assisted units than for comparable units
on the premises. To comply with this requirement, SAHA contracts for an online software to
conduct reasonable rent comparisons. SAHA is unable to manage and maintain local data on
current rents because of the constant changes in rent in the private market and SAHA does not

have the staff capacity to monitor rental listings and pull information on a continuous basis to
ensure rent comparisons can be completed accurately.
For this purpose, SAHA requested and received bids from the following firms:
Firm
Cost for Services
Nan McKay
$7,974 for GoSection8.com subscription
Nelrod
$5,489 for Nelrod Web -based System
The bids and cost for services from both vendors were reviewed by three employees from the
Housing Authority. The bid from Nan McKay and Associates was selected based upon several
factors including the amount of experience of the vendor. The system is utilized by hundreds of
public housing authorities across the country. Current and new landlords are able to list their
vacant units directly in the GoSection8 portal saving SAHA's staff valuable time. Local landlords
are familiar with listing their units in GoSection8.com to make them available for voucher holders
searching for a unit. The lower cost bid from Nelrod was not selected because it could not offer
the same customer experience and familiarity as GoSection8.com for local landlords and staff.
For over 35 years Nan McKay and Associates (NMA) has been the leader in providing
professional services to public housing authorities. Their continued growth in the affordable
housing industry is due to their strong client focus as well as their commitment to performance
excellence. Their GoSection8.com reasonable rent determination software provides an
automated rent comparability process that generates accurate HUD compliant rent
reasonableness reports. It is the fastest, easiest way for SAHA to complete rent reasonableness
certifications as required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
The software has completed more than one million rent reasonableness certifications nationwide
since 2004. NMA uses a proprietary methodology and comparability database to provide the
most accurate and up-to-date market rent assessments. The software eliminates the need for
internally maintained landlord inventory lists, saving SAHA time and money by using this
software. GoSection8.com uses cutting -edge technology and provides landlords and participants
links to a private portal complete with photos, mapping and also storing of all the necessary data
for SAHA in the event of a HUD audit. The three-year term of the agreement would begin on July
2, 2019 (Exhibit 1). Although the contract is for less than $25,000, staff have used Nan McKay
since 2004 and determined it was necessary for the Housing Authority to review and approve this
contract before it is renewed for another three-year term.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT

Attn: Miriam Zepeda
Building 20

Santa Ana, CA 92701
Dear Ms. Zepeda:
On behalf of Nan McKay & Associates, Inc. (NMA) and our partner, GoSection8.com (Go8), I am
pleased to provide you with our proposal to provide Rent Reasonableness Software.
Our software streamlines the rent reasonable process; automatically integrating comparable data
and generating HUD compliant rent reasonable reports. Go8 will save your staff valuable time,
eliminating the need for mining data or contracting with an outside vendor to purchase
comparables. The entire process of completing a rent reasonable report including selecting
comparables, takes about one minute per report, saving staff several minutes each time a report is
run.
The Go8 system provides an automated, turn -key web -based solution that addresses three key
requirements for the administration of your HCV program:
Rent Reasonableness Determination, Certifications, and Quality Control
Courtesy HCV Landlord Property Listing Maintenance and Portal
Creation and maintenance of a rent reasonableness database
The Internet based solution described in this proposal is fully compliant with the provisions of
24 CFR 982.507
24 CFR 985.3(b) as it pertains to SEMAP
Notice PIH 2O03-12
HCV Program Guidebook, Chapter 9 Rent Reasonableness
The Santa Ana Housing Authority (SAHA) can hold full confidence that the Go8 system being
proposed will meet all of its needs, as the system is being utilized by hundreds of public housing
authorities (PHAs) across the country. Go8 provides significant savings and allows for reduction of
overhead, reallocation of employees, and improved lease up rates.

■ Rent Reasonable Software — Go8's rent reasonable software, RentWatch5, is a fast and
accurate way for PHAs to complete rent reasonable certifications. Using mathematical
modeling combined with a frequently updated database, we are able to caiculate a property's
value at a specific point in time by analyzing values of comparable properties. Our rent
reasonableness platform analyzes public record data, manually gathered data, market data
and uses computer decision logic to calculate an estimate of a probable rental price of a
residential property based on a requested date.
• Comparable Data -- Go8 incorporates ongoing real-time data mining of open market rental
data from hundreds of rental listing websites and newspapers. The data is harvested both
electronically with proprietary technology, as well as manually by dedicated data analysts.
The comparable database is updated daily, thus ensuring a current and accurate rent
reasonable database.

As a result of deficiencies discovered by HUD audits, the New York City Housing Authority
(NYCHA) sought to procure a rent reasonable solution and database that would allow NYCHA
staff to easily and quickly perform accurate rent reasonable assessments throughout the five
Burroughs. NYCHA's unique environment required over 200 concurrent users with varying
computer skills to perform rent reasonable determinations in a fast -paced work environment on
older computers with limited bandwidth. Additionally, NYCHA was unable to add additional staff
due to budget shortfalls so the process had to be burdened by existing staff. NMA/Go8 customized
a solution to meet the needs of this agency. NMA/Go8 created a new software platform for creating
rent reasonable certifications in an efficient and user-friendly manner. The new Rent Reasonable
Wizard performs automated and accurate rent reasonable determinations in two to three minutes
while automatically verifying and auto completing data entry.

Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority (SNRHA) was under a HUD Voluntary Compliance
Agreement (VCA). Per the VCA, SNRHA was not providing enough accessible housing for
residents. NMA/Go8Go8 worked closely with SNRHA to increase the supply of these specific
residents. Go8 took all comparable data (approximately 16,000 records) and parsed the data for
keywords (ramp, wheelchair, etc.) in order to target properties that may be accessible. Once these
potential properties were targeted, NMA/Go8 contacted all owners through an email campaign,
highlighting the benefits of snaking their properties available for HCV tenants. NMA/GoS tracked

Due to a complete redesign and rebranding of the commission's website, the San Diego Housing
Commission (SDHC) sought to more closely integrate property listing data within their site. Their
objectives were to improve the web user's experience, minimize confusion, and preserve the SDHC
brand. This required the NMA/Go8 team to create a 100% new customized landlord/tenant portal
that had the same look and feel of their new website. The new portal needed to include the ability
for SDHC to customize content and be scalable to anticipate future changes. They also wanted the
new landlord/tenant portal to seamlessly "plug in" to the SDHC website so that even novice staff
needed to be able to add content such as images and new pages without the need for contractors or
programmers.
NMA/GoS created a new Iandlord/tenant portal with an integrated world class web content
management platform (CMS) back end that allows NMA/Go8 and SDHC to easily build
professional website content with dynamic and interactive features.
- NMA/Go8 created a custom landlord/tenant portal for SDHC that has the same look and
feel as the SDHC website.

4. Approach & Response to Scope of Services
Go8's rent reasonable program uses an automated hedonic valuation model (in this context hedonic
price analysis determines how the price of a unit varies with its characteristics) to identify and
compare the program subject unit to the most similar private market rental property units within a
specific geographic radius. Some key features are:
Dollar For Dollar Adjustments — Go8 uses a true market -based methodology which
overcomes the inherent artiEicial numerical "value" assigned to point based comparables
because of unknown variables. Go8 fine-tunes the rent reasonableness process, allowing
dollar for dollar adjustments based on the critical market factors that impact rent in your
area, ensuring an "apples -to -apples" rent comparison.
Integrated Comparable Rental Data — Go8
gathers, organizes, and maintains a database of
market -based comparable units. The primary
source of comparable data included in the
Go8 product is open market rental data. Go8
incorporates ongoing real-time data mining of
open market rental data from over 300 rental
listing websites and newspapers. This ensures
a statistically accurate rental database that is
current with daily updates (not more than 12
months old). The data is harvested
electronically with proprietary technology as
well as manually by dedicated data analysts.
The open market comparables are appended
with local tax assessor information (when
available) along with market assumptions on
utilities and amenities thereby assuring an
accurate and verified rental.

Download Current PHA Rental Data -- In many cases, a PHA may already have a file or
database of valid comparables. The Go8 database can be populated with these comparables.
Go8 requires that the comparables are provided in a prescribed Excel format. They are
loaded into the database as part of the software installation process. In addition to uploading
the PHA's current database of comparables, a PHA may add individual comparable unit
information on an ongoing basis if it so chooses.

eliminating the need for mining data or contracting with an outside vendor to purchase
comparables. The entire process of completing a rent reasonable report including obtaining the
HAP information and selecting comparables, takes about one minute per report, saving staff several
minutes each time a report is run.

4.2 Rent Reasonable Valuation Report
Upon the selection of the desired comparable properties, Gob will produce a Rent Reasonableness
Certification. This report will automatically analyze all the characteristics and amenities of both the
subject property and the comparable units. It will then determine any adjustments that are needed to
the comparable properties and calculate these adjustments using the dollar amounts provided in the
Market Assumption and Rent Reasonableness Methodology Worksheet (MARRM).
The rent reasonable certification accounts for all nine (9) of HUD 24CFR 982.507(b) including:
1. Location
a. 2 miles — Urban Areas
b. Neighborhood amenities (e.g. stores, transportation, etc.)
2. Quality
a. Construction and building materials
3. Size
a. Square footage
b. Number of bedrooms
c. Number of baths
4. Unit Type
a. House, low-rise, high-rise, tri-plex, etc.
5. Age
G. Amenities
7. Housing services
8. Maintenance services
9. Utility responsibilities
In addition, the certification will give local market analysis of units in the Go8 system and will
provide the actual listing information in the system provided for each comparable unit.
The following is included with the 3-page PDF report.

4.3 Custom Housing Locator
To encourage owner participation through the listing service, the PHA must have an effective
landlord outreach program. The PHA should add a prominent link from their website directing
landlords and tenants to Go8. Go8 will also build a custom renter portal, which is a web page
including your logo. This gives easy access to families searching for housing in your area and for
landlords to list and manage their properties. The portal displays listing details in real time.
Go8 will also supply Yx 5" full color postcards, brochures, and posters. These promotional
materials are great tools to inform landlords and tenants of the online property listing service. The
postcards can also be used as a mailer to landlords with the monthly voucher checks or other
scheduled mailings. They can be ordered online and free of charge.
The Housing Locator and Landlord and Tenant contact management system may be designed to
meet the needs of the PHA and its users. In addition, Go8 will upload any sponsor logos onto the
web site. The example below is a screen capture of a custom portal made for the New York City
Housing Authority (NYCHA).
