There is essentially no change over the projected 1995-96 revenues. As required, 20% of the total tax increment revenues have been set aside for Low and Moderate Income Housing. The Housing Section 8 Operating Budget totals $3.3 million which is unchanged from the previous year. The Section 8 Urban Development. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impacts of the proposed Operating Budgets are detailed in the attached pages. Housing proQrams are funded through the Federal Department of Housing and Redevelopment Agency operations and Low and Moderate Income Housing are funded from the property tax increment for the redevelopment area. Low and Moderate Income Housing receives 20% of the property tax increment, with the remaining 80% used for debt service and operations. The Housing Section 8 fund receives sufficient Federal funds to cover housing program expenses; however, not all administrative services provided by the City General Fund are included in the budget. The program is scheduled to reimburse $36,700 worth of services provided by the City’s General fund in 1996-97 which is unchanged from the current year. The General fund provides services valued at approximately $200,000 annually to the Section 8 program. The unreimbursed General Fund costs represent the annual subsidy from the City to support Housing Section 8 programs. EXHIBITS: 1.
