COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its regular meeting of August 13, 2014, by a vote of 6:0, the Community Redevelopment and
Housing Commission recommended that the Housing Authority authorize the Housing Authority
Executive Director to execute an agreement for the Licensing renewal and for services or
enhancements to the software with Yardi Systems, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $80,000 for a
one -year term, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the Executive Director and
Authority General Counsel.
DISCUSSION
For many years, the Housing Authority (Authority) has used specialized software in the
administration of the Housing Choice Voucher program. This software is critical to the operation of
the Authority and its obligation to electronically transfer data to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). The Authority approved an agreement in September 2002 with
Yardi Systems, Inc. for its Housing Choice Voucher program management software. This system
tracks all program information on applicants, tenants, and owners, schedules and maintains
records on all Housing Quality Standards inspections, performs income and payment calculations,
and creates and transmits HUD - required reports. The annual license fee includes system
upgrades, software updates, all pertinent user manuals, staff training, Applicant, Owner and

Annual License Renewal for Yardi Systems, Inc

Application Portals and forty five hours of technical assistance. The one year term of the
agreement begins on October 1, 2014 (Exhibit 1).
There are three nationally recognized providers of voucher management programs, including
Yardi, for housing authorities of a size similar to the Santa Ana Housing Authority. While all are
web -based applications, the user interface, workflow, and data exchange processes to support
payment creation differ. It is cost - prohibitive to change vendors and retrain staff, re -enter data,
and customize new software to support the City's internal control requirements. The Housing
Authority's original housing program management software was developed by Nan McKay, Inc.,
which in 2002 sold its program to Yardi Systems, Inc., and over the years has been customized to
serve the Housing Authority's requirements. The Yardi system is recognized as an industry
-- - standard, chosen by Los Angeles County, Chicago; Portland, Sacramento, and other large public
housing authorities.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability,
Engagement & Sustainability.
Funds are available in the Housing Authority Other Contractual Services account (no. 14018760-
