of the Housing Authority's Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program
participants and members of the public of its mission and strategy to
serve the needs of very low-income families. The purpose of the
Administrative Plan is to describe the Authority`s policies and
procedures.
The Annual Plan (Exhibit 1} provides detailed information about the
current operations of the Housing Authority, including programs,
participants, services for the upcoming year, 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
Board comprised ofi Section 8 participants. The Tenant Advisory Board
met on March 14, 2002 to review the Plan for fiscal year 2002-~-2003. As
per regulations, all comments from the March 14 board meeting have been
incorporated into the Annual Plan.
The Administrative Plan serves as supporting documentation for the
Annual Plan. The Authority's Administrative Plan (Exhibit 2) was Last
revised on April 3, 2000. The Administrative Plan must be revised to
insure compliance with regulatory changes made by HUD and policy and
procedure changes proposed to be implemented by the Authority. Some of
the changes included in the Plan are the policy and procedures regarding
criminal activity, procedures regarding owner or family debts to the
Housing Authority, and deletion of all references to the certificate
program. The changes to the Plan have been highlighted for your
information and review.
HUD regulations require a 45~day comment period. On February 2, 2002
notification was published that the draft plan was available for .review.
The public comment period ended at 12:00 noon on March 19, 2002. All
comments received will be included in the final document submitted to
