Approve and submit the Five -Year Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. By a vote of 6:0 (Turner absent) at its Regular Meeting of January 18, 2005. DISCUSSION The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Housing Authorities that administer a Section 8 Rental Assistance program ;o have an Annual Plan and a Five -Year Plan. The purpose of the Housing Authority's Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program participants, and r, _k Housing Authority Annual Plan and Five -Year Plan ,ebruary 7, 2005 Page 2 members of the public of its accomplishments and any changes in the Rental Assistance program during the previous year. The purpose of the Five -Year Plan is to advise the same audience of the Authority's mission and strategy over a five -year period (2005 - 2009). The Annual Plan (Exhibit 1) provides information about the current operations of the Housing Authority, including programs, participants, recent accomplishments, and any operational or tenant concerns. The Authority is required to review its existing operations and needs on a yearly basis with input from a Tenant Advisory Committee comprised of Section 8 participants. The Tenant Advisory Committee met on November 6, 2004, to review the Plan for fiscal year 2004 -2005. As per regulations, all comments from the November committee meeting have been incorporated into the Annual Plan. The Five -Year Plan forecasts the Authority's mission, strategies, and activities for the years 2005 - 2009 (Exhibit 2). To assess the current needs of the program's clients, a survey was mailed to all Authority ) articipants in October 2004. The results of this survey have been incorporated into both the Five -Year Plan and Annual Plan. HUD regulations require that the Plan be available for a 45 -day comment period. On December 1, 2004, notification was published that the draft plans were available for review. The public comment period ends January 18, 2005. All comments received will be included in the final documents submitted to HUD. FISCAL IMPACT There no fiscal impact associated with this action. Patricia C.
