FROM: HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: REPLACE EXPIRING SECTION 8 PROJECTS: Request for
approval of a recommendation to replace Section 8 Payment Project
Nos. CA 16-E077-003 and 004, which will expire on February 28,

I. RECOMMENDATION
ADOPT Housing Commission Resolution No. 94-006 recommending to the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission APPROVAL of a resolution to replace Section 8 Payment
Project Nos. CA16-E077-003 and 004, which will expire on February 28, 1994, with
Project No. CA16-E077-016.
11. BACKGROUND
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reserves
funds for housing assistance payments and the cost to administer the Section 8
Program. As funding in those projects expire, it is necessary for HUD to allocate
additional funding in new projects. The funding in projects CA 16-E077-003 and 004 will
expire on February 28, 1994. HUD has contacted the City of Carlsbad requesting the
approval of a resolution to replace those expiring projects with a newly funded project.
Ill. ANALYSIS
HUD has established a process of reserving funds for housing assistance payments and
the cost to administer the Section 8 Program. As funding in those projects expire, HUD
has to make a determination to either appropriate additional funding from Congress or
allow those projects to go unfunded. On February 7, 1994, HUD contacted the City of
Carlsbad requesting the approval of a resolution to replace those expiring projects.
IV. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. All direct program costs will be funded through
HUD for the administration of the Section 8 Program.
