DISCUSSION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has notified
the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (SARA) that 500 Housing
Choice Vouchers have been awarded under the FY 2001 Fair Share Award.
The additional 500 Vouchers represent a 25 percent increase 'to the
Authority's rental assistance program. To efficiently and effectively
lease the 500 additional Vouchers, and to continue the on-going
administration of these Vouchers, additional staff and a reorganization
of the SARA are proposed. This reorganization will allow the Authority
to meet its obligation as a result of the enhanced funding.
To effectively administer the additional Vouchers, it is recommended that
five positions be added to ensure the efficient delivery of the Voucher
Program and to attain program goals. The City's Basic Classification and
Compensation Plan will be amended to ensure that pay rates assigned to
each class title within the SARA are internally equitable and
commensurate with the scope, complexity and level of responsibility of
duties performed. These five positions will be funded in full by grant
funds provided by HUD.
It is recommended that two new class titles be added to the City's Basic
Classification and Compensation Plan, which reflect the levels of
responsibility appropriate to implement the additional Vouchers. In
addition, the FY 01-02 budget will be amended to add one position from
each class title. These titles are as follows: Housing Authority Aide
(Salary Rate Range No. 979) responsible for tracking, scheduling and
executing program control for the inspection segment of the program; and
Housing Authority Analyst (Salary Rate Range No. 600) responsible for
maintaining the Housing Authority's database/software system, managing
the housing assistance payment process and troubleshooting. It is also
proposed that the following three additional positions be added to the FY
U1M02 budget: Senior Office Assistant (Salary Rate Range No. 501)
providing support duties to Housing staff to ensure successful
administration of the new Vouchers and the entire Section 8 program in
general; Senior Housing Specialist (Salary Rate Range No. 584)
responsible for ensuring successful program delivery, including managing
staff and assisting with policy development; and Housing Specialist II
(Salary Rate Range No. 596) responsible for administering the additional
vouchers and existing programs.
