ISSUE; ~ \y'hic.h administr~tive option to select for the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. BACKGROUND: , On July 27, 1994, the Board ~pprQved an appliction for Section 8 Vouchers under the Notice of Funding Availability. offered by the U.S. Dept. of.Housing and Urban Development (HUD). On October 21, 1994, HUe notified the Housing Authority (EHA) that the appli~ation had been approved for 50 vouchers with an annual contract of $380,800 ($t ;904,000 over a five year contract). On November 16, 1994. the Board voted to contrs,ct with the City of Encinitas to provide staffing for the program. ANAL VSlS;, Since the Board voted to contract with the City for staffing, new developments have occurred, as follows: . · The 60 certificates which the County administers within the City Jurisdiction do not automatically .port- into the Encinitas Housing Authority as originally discussed with HUD. The County Housing Authority has told the City that these 60 certificates stay in their management since the County applied for and . cd/glb/sr012595.ha1 (1/16/95) ~-I . ..' ., "t-.l' , - . . . .' . . . .. . :'ll,. ... " the City that these 60 certificat.es stay in their management since the County applied for and received these certificates directly from HUD. Unless the City can convince the County that it is In their best interest to have , them administered by the Enclnitas Housing Authority, these certificates will ' not "port" Into the City. Staff has met with the County Housing Authority, and they are not interested In transferring these 60 portables to the City. Without these 60 certificates, the administrative budget originally presented to the Housing Authority is reduced, providing insufficient funding to support the Housing Specialist position as originally presented to the Board. · The City is unsure that hiring a person on City staff as part of a contract with the Housing Authority is the most economically efficient means of administering the program: There is an economy of scale in operating a Section 8 program, and until such time as the Housing Authority can reach a threshold of at around 200 certificates/vouchers, the administrative funding may barely keep up with the costs of administerino the program. With only 50 vouchers in the City's Section 8 program, Staff believes there is inSUfficient administrative funding to set up and efficiently administer the program. - , ' When the Board considered the various administrative options in November, contracting with the City seemed to be the most feasible alternative. Based on the reasons stated above, Staff is now exploring two administrative options: 1. Issuina a Reauest for Qualifications for a oarson or comoanv who wou!rL.!m willino to establish a firm to administer the ~ection 8 or~Qram. Staff was originally unsuccessfl,Jl in locating any existing companies to administer the Section 8 program. Since our original search, North Coast Housing, a non-profit agency, has contacted Staff indicating they may be interested in discussing a con:tract with the City to administer the program on behalf of the Board. North Coast 'presently does not have staff with Section 8 experience; however, they may be interested in recruiting a person with Section ,8 experience who could serve as half-time office manager. Staff believes that they Will face the same recruitment challenges. Additionally, it is, important for the Board to understand that if tJorth Coast Housing is able to successfully recruit staff and this option proves feasible, the City would .still incur 'administrative costs in managing the contract and handling the financial and auditing requirements of HUD. It would be difficult to cover both the administrative costs of North Coast Housing and the City with only,50 vouchers in the program. The Board should also consi~er that other non-profit agencies may be interested in managing this program. If this option is selected, the Board should issue a Request for Qualifications. 2. Neaotiate a contract with the County Housina Authoritv to manaae the 50 certificates. Staff met with the Interim Director of the County Housing Authority , to discuss their interest in administering the 50 certificates in accordance with the Encinitas Administrative Plan, including the preferences for the waiting list. For example, the EHA Plan allows a local preference for Encinitas residents or persons who work in the City'. The County indicated a willingness to administer tttese 50 vouchers on behalf of the Board using their existing waiting list for Enclnitas residents, which has approximately 200 names at the present time. The benefit to the Board in entering into a contract with the County Housing Authority is that the c9-d.. , ','.-,-,..... ..." ," .., .' aVoiding time delays In staff recruitment. There Is a definite 'advantage In the economy of scale In the County's ,operatlon'al1d their expertise in Section 8. " o FISCAL AND STAFF IMPACTS: The administrative fee (revenue) for the fir~t year of the contract ,113$35,421 for 50 V.ouchers.' Should the Board decide to direct Staff to negotiate a contract with the County Housing Authority, the County. has indicated that they would bEJabie to operate the program within this administrative fee. If the contract is set up 'C"'qre the funding flows directly from HUD. to the County, there would be negligible coStS to the City. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss the two options presented by Staff, and authorize the Executive Director to riegotiate a contract with the County, Housing Authority for the administration of the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. - o.

Executive Summary North Coast HousirJg, Inc., proposes to administer the HUD Section 8 voucher program under contract witn the Encinitas Public Housing Authority (EPHA). NCH is prepared to offer this service within 60 days of the execution of the contract. The cost of the program would exceed the HUD administrative anq preliminary fees during the first year of ~peration, but would provide signific(:fJltYings in ~he second and third years of operation. NCH will hire a person with bilingual ability and prior Section 8 experience. NCH has a letter from an individual expressing interest in working for NCH as a part time employee. In addition, NCH's program manager will undertake an extensive training program as a means of assuring both compliance with HOD regulations and the umntenupted delivery c,fthe program services. The budget includes the cost of these training sessions as first year expenses but they are not recurring. , North Coast Housing will administer the program from an office within the City of Encinitas. The office will have adequate parking, will be located in close proximity to public transportation, and will be fully accessible to the handicapped. The office will provide a waiting area and private interview space. These office requirements will require NCH to relocate to larger offices. A key component oftms program proposal is the ability to efficiently process information. NeH proposes to acquire an integrated hardware and software system to handle collection and processing of information and production of periodic reports. A nationally recognized commercial vendor provides a software program for the administration of Section 8. The software allows for all stages of the process to be handled on.the computer -- information collection during eligibility determination, maintaining the eligibiHty list, writing the voucher contracts, issuing the monthly checks :md producing periodic teports. As a non-profit, NCH would need to include the "sunk costs" of acquiring the hardware and software as part of the first year budget that would not be recurring. In the first year of operation program costs exceed the HUD provided administrative and preliminary fees, but in the second and third years of the program costs are significantly reduced, providing a substantial savings to the City. Another benefit of this proposed contract is the retention of the program within the community. NCH has a history of working with the City ofEncinitas, has an office located in Encinitas and understands local housing priorities.

IMPLEMENTATION Schedule: North Coast Housing will require sixty days from the execution of the contract to begin administering the Encinitas Housing Authority's Section 8 voucher program. Immediately following acceptance of this proposal, NCH and the EPHA will negotiate and execute a contract that clearly defines each participant's responsibility. NCH has based this proposal upon the assumption that EPHA will issue a single check each quarter to NCH and that NCH will then issue the monthly contract rent checks to individual landlords. NCH has several significant tasks to accomplish during the initial 60 day start up period. NCH win relocate from its current office, purchase the hardware and software needed to process the program information, and hire an individual with prior Section 8 experience. In developing this program proposal, NCH gathered information about the availability of skilled employee candidates, negotiated a lease subject to EPHA approval ofthis proposal, and specifically identified our hardware and software needs. NCH proposes to allow ample time for negotiation and review of the proposed contract. NCH will work with EPHA staff to identify contract issues. Those issues include providing a revised time table for initial lease up, disposition of the 200 persons or families now on the County Sec\~ion 8 list, and some provision for ensuring cash flow. NCB: is basing this proposal upon the assumption that EPHA will review and approve the quarterly estimate of contract payments, then pass through funds for those contracts on a monthly basis. Our experience would indicate that a deposit equal to two months' payments be maintained in a reserve account for this program. Personnel: A key component of this Section 8 program proposal is the hiring of an individual with prior experience in administering a Section 8 program. The personnel demand for the voucher program is one half-time employee. Fluency in Spanish would be highly desirable. NCH staff will attend training sessions on all aspects of the program as a backup for the person hired to perform the Section 8 activities. NCH will advertise for the new halftime position immediately upon EPHA approval of the contract. The open period for the submission of applications should be two to three we~ks. NCH would subsequently schedule interviews, asking that EPHA staff participate in that process. Hiring and bringing the new employee into the office would occur at the end of the sixty day period. NCH has identified two possible candidates, one of whom is bilingual. Page 3 SectS.docll: 14 AM 2/22/9S ,..",. , II .~ I , ; '"1 I .J. "'1 i Physical Space: North Coast Housing will conduct the Section 8 Administration program from an office in the City ofEncinitas. NCH is proposing to relocate to a larger office that will meet the requirements of the program. We are proposing to include a waiting area and a private interview space that will help ensure confidentiality during client interviews. ""1- ~ " i '-"! J - l- i NCH has entered negotiations for a "store front" office space that will provide adequate parking, close proximity to public transportation and accessibility for the handicapped. This relocation of our office will require including the cost of increased rent in the program's annual operating expenses. Having an office located within the City allows for greater access by Encinitas residents and will allow City staff greater access to program staff and records. F-'f ,j ., ;cJ Information Handling Ability: The Section 8 program involves a high level of complexity in the collection, assessment and retention of information that lends itself well to computer processing. Once information is input from the initial application, that information can be used at every subsequent step from eligibility determination through issuance of monthly contract checks and h~ports. 11 IJ Nan McKay and Associates, a nationally recognized vendor, produces software that includes initial application forms, voucher contracts and check writing ability. Nan McKay annually updates the software to include program changes (a service that is extremely important during this period of program uncertainty). Especially during the "rent up" period, applicants should be qualified and voucher contracts approved as quickly as possible. NCH's system should be in place as soon as a qualified Section 8 staff person is hired. "I I .,J *:)1 ; j ,''"1- t, f -i ,...:. Local Administration of Program: North Coast Housing has worked closely with the City ofEncinitas since its incorporation. NCH will have a local program office and will be readily accessible to City staff and policy makers. Coordination of the Section 8 program with later apartment acquisition and rehabilitation programs could be more readily accomplished. Coordination of these progratns can reduce the costs associated with relocation. r, ..J IJ' ("r','t i, , w Program Costs: North Coast Housing is proposing a locally administered housing voucher program that will cost less than the HUD paid administrative fee except in the start up year. NCH's proposed budget exceeds the combined administration and preliminary fees during the start up year by $5,379.00. The proposed budget shows cost savings in years 2 and 3, or about $6,000.00 over the three years of the program budget. r'~ y ."....i "( .J Page 4 "'1 I J Scct8.docll:14 AM 2/22/9S o o 1 4 1 "l 1 , ,t 1 I 1 1 .I '1 i d '"1 ! 1l' '1 , of .,J , J 1 J 1 J "l J ~t r ,...! ,- ~ f : .-1' (\ .""\, J " T ( J ~ f j '" fI If \~ NCB: proposes a multi~year program contract with the provision for a performance evaluation at the end ofthe first and second years. Satisfactory performance would be required for NCH to vmtinue admin,stering the program. However, ifperfonnance is satisfactory, NCH would' not be required to renegotiate the contract. Personnel costs are for a part-time eligibility worker at $16,00.00 for salary and benefits. We have a letter expressing interest in the proposed position from a prosp_ective employee that has both the requisite experience and bilingual skills. The budget allots no expenditure for NCH supervision in the first year. Instead, the budget includes a line item of$2,OOO for training NCH stafl~ The budget includes $1,800 ($150 per month) for an increase in office space, plus one third the cost of tenant improvements. NCH is budgeting $5,000 for purchase ofthe Nan McKay software package and $1,850 for a computer meeting the software requirements. These costs are included only in the first year budget. An updating service to keep the software current with regulation changes is another $850 per year. Page 5 Sect8.docl1:14 AM 2/22/9~ o 1 ~ .. HI. Discussion of Section 8 Rental Assistance Program , , '" North Coast Housing will assume administrative responsibility for the four major areas of the SectionS Rental Assistance Program pursuant to Encinitas Housing Authority's Administrative Plan, Equal Housing Opportunity Plan, and Title 24, Chapter VIII federal regulations. These responsibilities include: 1) outreach to potential residents and property owners, 2) resident qualification and the creation of a waiting list, 3) landlord qualification including housing inspections and execution of lea.se agreements and housing voucher contracts, 4) voucher maintenance and record retention. ~, 'I -! I ~ .'\ 1. Outreach to )2Q!ential residents and apartment owners: The program begins with an outreach effort to both residents and property owners to provide a pool of potential participants. , f .t Advertisements: This effort will include placing advertisements in local newspapers publicizing the availability of a rental assistance program. The ads will be prepared according to program requirements and will include program information including a description of the program's eligibility criteria and. application processing procedures. '1 I .;l , I . "" Meetings: NCH will also conduct personal outreach efforts to the real estate business community to inform property owners about the program and to hopefully obtain commitments from interested landlords to participate. 1 J Flyers: North Coast Housing will distribute flyers to those groups in the City unlikely to find affordable housing in Encinitas as set forth.in the Equal Housing Opportunity Plan including seniors and low-wage earners. '1 , I ,~ "l- t .J 2. Resident Oualification/Creation of Waiting List: The most important aspect of the program is to develop a waiting list of eligible applicants from which families can be selected according to the established preference criteria for participation in the program. This aspect of the program requires the most administrative resources. J I ".I Review of application: NCH will review all applications that are received and immediately create files to insure an accurate record of the date and time of the initial contact. North Coast Housing will then verify whether the apparently eligible applicants are truly eligible. An applicant will be presumed to be eligible if she/he qualifies with a very low income family and does not have an outstanding validated claim for rent and/or damages owed to any Public Housing Authority or property owner relative to previous participation is a housing program administered by a public housing authority. Verification will immediately follow receipt of a complete application during the "rent up" period. After rent up, these applications will be placed on the waiting list, to be verified when a voucher becomes available. "1 . , .. I I ;- , '.... ,..; Page 6 ~ Scct8.docll:14 AM 2/22/95 .-t 1"'"1 '4 ~ 1 Verification of eligibility: North Coast Housing will review all information required from applicants to determine eligibility pursuant to the verification procedures set forth in the Administrative Plan and federal regulations. The result of this verification procedure will be a waiting list of eligible families who will then be ranked according to preferences set forth by federal, state, and local regulations. This ranking determines selection for participation in the program and will be done using a point system. ", "'1 , ~ 1 1 Federal preference is given to families who are involuntarily displaced due to public action, live ill substandard housing including homeless, pay more than 50% of monthly income for rent, and Who are displaced by other than public action. Applicants meeting any of these criteria will receive the most points. I'~' ... ., l , .j State preference relates to families of veterans who receive significantly fewer points than those families meeting the federal preference criteria. Local preference is given to residents and can be applied without regard to the federal and state preferences for no more than 10% of the waiting list applicants. Otherwise, local preference has no assigned points. '1 , d i ,".. NeH will complete any and all follow-up research necessary to insure that the basis upon which a determination of eligibility and preference ranking is made, is accurate. NCH will also include as part ofthis verification of eligibility, the size of the dwelling that is appropriate for the applicant according to the Occupancy Standards set forth in the Administrative Plan and the applicants Total Tenant Payment, i.e., the amount of rent the family will pay. Once verification of all data is complete, the Certification of Ten ant Eligibility (HUD Form 50058) is completed and signed. " ~ IJ Issuance of Housing Voucher: Once an applicant is selected for participation, a housing voucher is issued. This executed Housing Voucher will be presented to the family at a briefing session at which the family will also received a comprehensive information packet containing all of the requirements set forth in the Administrative Plan. The briefing session will be conducted by NCH and will provide NCH and the family with an opportunity to thoroughly review the program and the participant's responsibilities. The initial term of a housing voucher is 60 days but may be extended in increments of 60 days for a total term of not more than 120 days. ..~ The information packet will include an explanation of the Total Tenant Payment and the rent payment that is considered appropriate for the family size and composition. The families Total Tenant Payment will generally not exceed 30% of the family's income. However, under the voucher program, a family can pay more or less than 30% of their income on housing depending on whether they choose housing that rents for more or less than the payment standards (fair market rents) established in the Administrative Plan. The Housing AuthoritylNCH Payment will always be the difference between the payment standardfor a particular unit size and 30% of afamity 's income (adjustedfor a utility payment ifnecessary). ~J I ~ I I ~ .J Page 7 l ...J Se<:t8.dooll:14 AM 2/22/95 -1 <\ I ""t ,\ -, I ... ! -" Hi "I ~ t l> "'! ,,' .,.,; -" , I .I "1 , r j '1 J ~l . -' "1 1 f -' , \ I ..j. , .J ,,--- If a family locates housing that rents for more than the payment standard, the family can elect to live in the housing but the family is required to pay the amount that exceeds the fair market rent. Should a family find housing that costs less than payment standard, the family will realize the savings because the Housing Authority Payment will still be calculated based upon the payment standard. However, in no event shall a family pay less than 10% of their income. North Coast Housing will encourage residents not to over extend themselves with housing payments that exceed 30% oftheir income. This potential situation could reduce the benefit of a rental assistance program and will be discouraged. Families will certainly be encourage to locate units that rent for less than the payment standard to further reduce their housing payment. 3. Landlord Oualification. Executil)n of Leases and Housing Voucher Contracts: Families holding vouchers are responsible for finding a unit that meets their size requirements and negotiating the contract rent. Families must submit a request for lease approval to NCH during the term of the housing voucher. When a family has found a unit it wants and the owner is willing to lease, the Family shall submit to NCB: a request for lease approval signed by the owner of the unit and the family, and a copy of the proposed lease (hot executed). The lease must include all HUD-required provisions and may not contain any provision prohibited by HUD. North Coast Housing caJ1not approve the lease until the unit is inspected and a determination is made the unit meets the applicable housing quality standards as set forth in the following section. If a family is unable to locate an approvable unit where because of age, handicap, large farrlily size, or other reasons, NCH will assist the family if requested. NCH will also provide assistance where any family alleges that illegal discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or handicap is preventing them from finding a suitable unit. NCH will refer any such family to the City's Housing Division which operates an aggressive fair housing program. The City will provide fair housing seIVices for NCH using the existing 1/4 staff person and related resources already in place at no extra cost. NCH will also provide information regarding the location of neighborhoods where reasonably priced and appropriately sized housing is located. NeH will respond to inquiries from property owners who have been approached by families holding vouchers. NCH will explain all aspects of the program as they relate to the property owner including lease provisions, lease approval procedures, housing quality standards and inspections, provision of the housing voucher contract and payment procedures. In addition, it will be made very clear that the issuance of a housing voucher by NCH is nut a representation by NCH that a family is a good tenant. A housing authority is not allowed to establish selection criteria based on the applicants suitability as a tenant. The property owner must make their own decision in this regard. Apartment inspection pursuant to HUD Housing Quality Standards: North Coast Housing camlot approve a unit under a proposed lease until a determination is made that the unit meets the applicable housing quality standards. Federal regulations governing this program set forth specific performance requirements and acceptability criteria to which all Page 8 Sect8.docl1:14 AM 2/22/95 , ., l-l I units leased under this program must conform. North Coast Housing will conduct the inspections and complete the inspection report. NCH will inspect all units to which vouchers have been committed at least annually and at other times as needed to ensure that the owner is meeting the obligations of maintain the unit in decent, safe and sanitary conditions. .. One of the housing quality standards concerns space requirements for the particular type afunit including the number of bedrooms. Regard1ess ofthe number of bedrooms stated on the housing voucher, NCH may not prohibit a family from renting an otherwise acceptable unit on the ground that it is too large for the family. In addition, NCH cannot prevent a family from renting a unit with fewer bedrooms than stated on the housing voucher, so long as the unit meets the applicable housing quality standards space requirements. ...~ "'I ~ "I !:lousing Voucher Contract: After reviewing the lease agreement and completing the housing inspection, North Coast Housing will either approve the unit and lease or notify the family and owner if the unit and lease are not approved. Once the lease and unit are approved, NCH will complete the housing voucher contract for signature by the owner. The housing voucher contract is a HUn-prescribed contract between NCH and the owner in which the Owner agrees to lease a unit to a specified eligible family and NCH agrees to make housing assistance payment to the owner. Each month NCH will make a housing assistance payment to the owner on behalf of the family. ... . d The housing voucher contract sets forth the housing assistance payment which is the difference between 30% of the families income as previously determined and the appropriate payment standard established in the Administrative Plan. The Housing Authority must adopt new payment standards whenever federal regulations require and under certain other prescribed circumstances.
