SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment to the Housing Authority of the City of Baldwin Park’s Administrative Plan and Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP).
SUMMARY
Periodically the Housing Authority of the City of Baldwin Park (HACBP) updates the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative Plan and Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) to include new HUD regulations, update or revise HACBP policies and procedures, and implement new programs the agency plans to administer.

2. Approve the updated Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy; and
3. Authorize the Director of Community Development and Housing Manager to implement revisions of the Administrative Plan as necessary to comply with updates from HUD and make minor revisions to HACBP policies and/or procedures.
