MAJOR PROGRAM AREAS:

 

Housing Choice Voucher Programs

 

Program Description - The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and two related ones tracked in this budget item, provide housing assistance to families in the private rental market. HACCC qualifies families for these programs based on income. These families find a home in the private rental market on their own and HACCC provides them with a subsidy via a housing assistance payment (HAP) contract with the property owner. HAP (the subsidy) is paid by HACCC directly to the owner. Through these programs, HACCC provides affordable housing assistance to 9,246 households. Through the main HCV program, HACCC is approved to house as many as 9,575 households. However, due to rents that are rising faster than the provided grant from the federal government, HACCC houses 8,882 households in the HCV Program. Additionally, HACCC provides housing to 199 households in the Mainstream Voucher Program (targeted to non-elderly persons with disabilities), and 165 households through the Emergency Housing Voucher Program (targeted to households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or fleeing violence). Of the HCV program households, 196 are also enrolled in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. Non-operating revenues are primarily Housing Assistance Funding. Non-operating activities primarily Housing Assistance Payments and capital additions.

 

Summary of Budgeted and Actual results:

 

Operating Revenue - The $934,789 operating revenue difference is primarily a result of higher federal program administrative funding received in the period than budgeted.

 

Operating Expense - The $486,852 operating expense difference is primarily a result of lower administrative labor expense than budgeted due to vacant positions.

Public Housing Operating and Capital Funds

 

Program Description - HACCC owns and manages 983 public housing units at 13 different sites throughout the County. The Agency disposed of roughly 196 units on 3 sites in the N. Richmond area. The Operating funds for all properties come from tenant rents as well as an operating subsidy received from HUD that is designed to cover the gap between rents collected from the low-income tenants and annual operating expenses. HUD allocates the Capital Fund annually via formula to approximately 3,200 housing authorities. Capital Fund grants may be used for development, financing, modernization, and management improvements within public housing. Non-operating activities primarily consist of these capital additions.

 

Summary of Budgeted and Actual results:

 

Operating Revenue - The $2,845,839 operating revenue difference is primarily a result of higher federal program administrative funding received than budgeted. $2,344,355 of this was additional Public Housing Shortfall Funding.

 

Operating Expense - The $170,776 operating expense difference is primarily a result of higher public housing dwelling and land maintenance costs than budgeted.
