On July 23, 1992, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) inviting applications to compete for additional Section 8 Housing Certificates.
Funds in the amount of $7,784,120 for 154 Certificates are expected to be made available to Housing Authorities that report to the Los Angeles HUD Field Office to provide assistance to low income families. The certificates will provide rental assistance to families who meet the regular Section 8 eligibility criteria and whose children are at risk of placement in out-of-home care, or delayed in returning from care because of the families lack of adequate housing. In contrast to past invitations to apply, this selection will be based on competition.
Currently, the City's Housing Authority subsidizes rents for 438 low-income families under the Section 8 Program. If the application is accepted by HUD, the total number of subsidized households could increase to 488 Certificates/Vouchers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City could receive additional federal housing funding for up to fifty (50) more Certificates.
I EXHIBITS:
1. Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No.~, approving submittal of application and authorizing the Director of Housing and Redevelopment to execute documents.
