SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Burbank Public Housing Agency Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and Proposed Administrative Plan Updates
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING: 1) THE PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY ANNUAL PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027; 2) UPDATES TO THE SECTION 8 ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN; AND 3)
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE THE CERTIFICATIONS
REQUIRED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND
The Burbank Housing Authority (BHA) administers the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program (Program), which is funded by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the purpose of providing rent subsidies to extremely low-income and very low-income tenants. The Program is critical to communities across the nation as it assists the most needy and vulnerable households in the community with lower incomes who are at risk of becoming homeless. The Program takes existing units in the private market and makes them affordable, furthering the City Council goal of providing affordable housing in the community.
The mission of the BHA is working together for a safe, beautiful, and thriving community.
Public Hearing
Item #1
This mission aligns with HUD’s purpose of providing affordable housing and economic opportunities to the community. The BHA will implement this mission within the limits of 26 2
supporting family self-sufficiency and economic stability. The BHA will continue to expand this support along with rental subsidies to participant households.
DISCUSSION
In order to receive Section 8 Program funding, HUD requires that all housing authorities submit a Public Housing Agency Plan ( Annual Plan) that describes the mission of the housing authority, and Administrative Plan that includes information on operations, programs and services . This report provide s information on the Annual Plan and the Administrative Plan, and highlights proposed administrative changes.
Annual Plan
The Annual Plan describes all updates for a reporting year related to the approved 2025- 2030 Five-Year Plan. The Five-Year Plan describes the BHA’s mission and the goals for achieving objectives during the next five years. The BHA Annual Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 has been prepared utilizing the HUD required template and the required certifications (Attachment 1). This Annual Plan builds upon the framework established in the 2025-2030 Five-Year Plan and outlines the specific actions and updates for FY 2026- 2027.
Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Report
During the first year of the Five- Year Plan ( FY 2025-2026), the BHA has assisted approximately 838 households. In addition, the BHA applied for Special Purpose Vouchers and was awarded five (5) Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) vouchers under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. All five vouchers have been issued, and voucher recipients are in search of a unit. Voucher recipients are working with service providers in the region, such as Tarzana Treatment Center and A Sense of Home, to assist in their search for a unit. HUD requires the County to provide these services for the FYI voucher recipients.
The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program, funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, is projected to sunset by October 2026 as federal appropriation/ funds are exhausted. BHA currently administers the EHV program to 51 households. Staff notified EHV participants and landlords regarding this update in the fall of 2025 and provided information on BHA goals to assist households during the transition. In preparation for this transition, HUD has approved BHA’s waiver request allowing all EHV families to be placed directly on the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) (Section 8) waiting list without requiring individual application submissions or public notice of the waiting list opening.
HUD determined that good cause exists to waive applicable federal regulations in order funding availability to assist as many households as possible by encouraging and to prevent administrative delays and reduce the risk of assistance termination . This approval will support an orderly and equitable transition of EHV participants to the HCV 27 3
guaranteed. Staff will continue to communicate with remaining EHV participants during the transition process to the HCV/Section 8 program.
The third special purpose voucher program administered provides rental assistance for 19 Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) vouchers through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. This grant term ends on October 31, 2026, and renewal funding is not known at this time. In November 2025, HUD released a funding notice, which introduced significant policy changes that would reduce funding and restrict eligibility for PSH renewal projects nationwide. Staff continues to monitor program funding. Due to ongoing court proceedings, the renewal status of funding for BHA’s PSH vouchers remains uncertain and will depend on the outcome of the appeal and any subsequent guidance issued by HUD. In preparation for a potential lapse in funding, similar to EHV notices last fall, staff will begin notifying program participants and landlords of potential housing resources and temporary rental assistance in preparation for another transition for this special purpose voucher program. As with EHVs, staff will continue to explore options to sustain funding for PSH participants if possible. If funding is not available, staff will assist these 19 households in transitioning to alternate housing resources.
For special purpose vouchers and overall funding for the HCV/Section 8 program, s taff monitors program expenditures on a monthly basis, utilizes reserve funds when available, and request s additional funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as necessary.
Administrative Plan
Housing authorities are required to adopt a written Administrative Plan that establishes local policies and procedures for administering the Section 8 Program in accordance with HUD regulations and requirements. Furthermore, HUD allows the Administrative Plan to include local policies on matters for which the BHA has discretion. Finally, the Administrative Plan, and any updates to it, must be adopted by the Housing Authority Board, and BHA staff must administer the Program in accordance with the Administrative Plan.
Staff is proposing updates to the Administrative Plan to ensure compliance with HUD regulations and requirements, clarify local policies, and enhance participant protections.
Proposed revisions focus on improving clarity, strengthening compliance, and addressing the following:
1) Applicant Waiting List;
2) Housing Quality Standard Inspections (HQS)
program. Selection from the waiting list will depend on available HCV funding, and is not The Applicant waiting list changes will allow Special Purpose Voucher recipients, such as EHV participants, to be placed on the waiting list with weighted preference for selection 28 4
correction timelines for life- threatening and non-life-threatening deficiencies, abatement and termination procedures for unresolved violations, and family responsibilities for HQS issues they cause.
These updates will comply with and clarify HUD regulations and requirements and local policies. The proposed 2026-2027 Amended Administrative Plan is included as Attachment 2 with redline changes for ease of reference. A summary of the proposed changes is included as Attachment 3.
Resident Advisory Board and Public Notices
Housing Authorities are required to establish a Resident Advisory Board (RAB) to enable residents to provide recommendations on document development. The membership on the RAB consists of individuals who reflect and represent the residents assisted by the Program. The current members remain on the board annually, and any new requests received from Program participants seeking to be a member are added for the next annual term. The RAB makes recommendations regarding the development of the Annual Plan and may suggest amendments or modifications to the Administrative Plan. Residents participate through this process, with the goal of addressing needs and issues that directly affect program participants. Through their involvement in this process, residents are more aware of the procedures that housing authority staff undergoes to carry out Program activities.
RAB members reviewed the draft Annual Plan and Administrative Plan at a public meeting held on February 18, 2026. The meeting was advertised on the City’s website, published in the Los Angeles Times , and 900 post card invitations w ere mailed to Program participants. A total of 59 members of the publ ic attended the in-person meeting. In addition, four of the 10 RAB members attended the meeting. There were no recommendations, comments, questions or feedback to the draft Annual Plan or Administrative Plan . H owever, there were questions from meeting attendees on the general process and procedures of the Section 8 Program and the termination of the Emergency Housing Vouchers that staff addressed during the meeting (Attachment 4).
As required by HUD, a public notice for the public hearing has been posted. T he draft Annual Plan and proposed changes to the Administrative Plan were available for public review at the Housing Authority public counter and online on the City’s website beginning on February 11, 2026. As of the writing of this report, no public comments have been received.
Payment Standards (Subsidy Amounts for Program Participants) when funding is available. The HQS changes pertain to compliance, including strict HUD allows flexibility in payment standards (subsidy levels) for Program participants between 90% to 110% of the Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) for a metropolitan 29 5
families in accessing housing in higher -opportunity, low-poverty areas by offering rental assistance aligned with local market conditions. These standards apply to all tenant - based vouchers, including special programs such as HUD- Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH). Each year, staff must analyze the HUD-published SAFMRs along with expected funding levels to determine subsidy levels for program participants. In October of 2025, the BHA updated the payment standards based on newly published SAFMRs (Attachment 5). 1 The BHA provides subsidy levels to all HCV/Section 8 participants within the required range of 90% - 110% with the average subsidy being 97%.
Looking Ahead to 2026 Program Funding
As of the writing of this report, the BHA has not received the final Program budget from HUD for housing assistance payments in FY 2026-27. However, based on last year’s expenses, staff is budgeting $1,800,000.00 for administrative costs, and $14,000,000.00 for Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) to participant households .2 Based on the subsidy levels that went into effect December 2025, staff estimates that the BHA will be able to assist 900 households during FY 2026-27. Variation in utilization (the number of Vouchers the BHA funds) is primarily due to the total funding received for the Section 8 Program. In addition, changes in subsidy levels (rental assistance) and attrition (households that voluntarily leave the Program, move to other communities, or participant deaths) also affects voucher utilization.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

CHAPTER 1 STATEMENT OF POLICIES AND OBJECTIVESINTRODUCTION The Section 8 Program was enacted as part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which recodified the U. S. Housing Act of 1937. On October 21, 1998, the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility of Act of 1998 was signed into law which substantially changed the Section 8 Program. In the past there had been two forms of assistance, namely Certificates and Vouchers, but this new Act combined the two into the new Housing Choice Voucher Program. This Administrative Plan implements those changes. Administration of the Section 8 Program and the functions and responsibilities of the Burbank Housing Authority staff shall be in compliance with the City of Burbanks Personnel Policy and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Section 8 Regulations, as well as all applicable federal and state laws.The funding source for the Section 8 Program is an Annual Contributions Contract between the Burbank Housing Authority and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The federal funds come directly to the Burbank Housing Authority and are used for Program implementation and administration. The Section 8 Program is self-supporting from the federal government and does not use local funds. A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Section 8 Program is a federally funded rental assistance program where the Burbank Housing Authority makes rent payments to private landlords every month on behalf of very low-income tenant households. The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development enters an Annual Contributions Contract with the Housing Authority to pay a certain amount of money every year to administer the Program. The contract specifies the amount of money that will be received and the number of households that can be assisted. When the maximum number is reached, the Program is considered full and someone must leave the Program in order to allow a new person to participate. When the Section 8 Program is open for new applications, an interested person can fill out an application and submit it directly to the Burbank Housing Authority. The applicant name is placed on the Applicant Waiting List and when the name is selected as outlined later in this Administrative Plan, the person is called to the office for an interview. In order to qualify for the Program, the income for the applicant family must be below 50% of median for Los Angeles County (new income limits are utilized as soon as they are available). Income is verified by the Housing Authority and new participants must be U. S. citizens or legal immigrants to qualify for assistance. After the tenant is determined eligible, a Section 8 Voucher is issued which gives the tenant 120 days to locate a suitable rental unit. The tenant may elect to stay in his/her current rental unit, if the landlord agrees October 21, 1998, the October 21, 1998, the t of 1998 was signed into law which t of 1998 was signed into law which In the past there had been two forms of In the past there had been two forms of but this new Act combined the two into the but this new Act combined the two into the Program.

to participate in the Program, or the tenant may locate a unit anywhere in the United States. The Voucher specifies a certain dollar amount that the Housing Authority will pay directly to the landlord on behalf of the tenant each month. The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is designed to give the tenant freedom and flexibility to choose a place to live. The unit selected may be a house or an apartment, and it must be decent, safe, and sanitary. The rent must be reasonable compared to similar units that are not on the Section 8 Program. Every year the unit will be inspected by the Housing Authority to verify the condition. In addition, the income of the tenant household will be verified annually, and eligible tenants may remain on the Program indefinitely. B. HISTORY OF THE BURBANK HOUSING AUTHORITY The creation of the Burbank Housing Authority was authorized by Resolution 17,164, which was passed by the Burbank City Council on June 17, 1975, in accordance with Section 34240 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California. The Burbank City Council also passed Resolution 17,165 on June 17, 1975, which declared that the City Council members would serve as the Commissioners of the Housing Authority in accordance with Section 34290(a) of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California. The by-laws for the Burbank Housing Authority were adopted on July 1, 1975, by Housing Authority Resolution H-4. The initial allocation of funding for the Section 8 Program in 1975 was $92,000 for a total program size of 40 Certificates. Over the years, the Section 8 Program has increased in various funding increments to a total of 1,014 Certificates and Vouchers. Each year, as funding for the program is received, staff will provide an annual update to the Housing Authority Board on voucher utilization. In 1992, the Burbank Housing Authority started participating in the Family Self-Sufficiency component of the Section 8 Program which provides incentives to families to become financially independent. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program will be discussed in Chapter 14. The jurisdiction of the Burbank Housing Authority is the City of Burbank; however, tenants are able to take their Section 8 assistance with them to other parts of the country. The Burbank Housing Authority works cooperatively with other Housing Authorities to transfer tenants when requested. This ability to move from one jurisdiction to another is called portability and will be discussed in Chapter 8. C. PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES [24 CFR 982.1] The goal of the Burbank Housing Authority is to assist the most needy and vulnerable applicants in the City of Burbank such as those applicants that pay a disproportionate share of their income on rent. The Section 8 Program aims to provide affordable housing to those existing, very low-income applicants by implementing the Section 8 Program, the ear the unit will be inspected by the Housing Authority to ear the unit will be inspected by the Housing Authority to of the tenant household of the tenant householdin on the Program indefinitely. in on the Program indefinitely.

Burbank Housing Authority is able to take existing units in the private rental market and make them affordable to existing, very low-income applicant families (defined in Chapter 2). The Burbank Housing Authority has a commitment to provide the highest level of service to assist the greatest number of people possible while staying within the available funding. This commitment to the highest level of service will be supported by use of administrative fee reserve funds when necessary. It is the policy of the Burbank Housing Authority to achieve and maintain full lease-up of all Vouchers. The Section 8 Program is designed to achieve these major objectives: 1. To provide affordable rental housing that is decent, safe, and sanitary to existing, very low-income applicants. 2. To ensure that all units in the Program meet Housing Quality Standards and that tenants pay fair and reasonable rents. 3. To promote fair housing and the opportunity for very low-income applicants of all ethnic backgrounds to experience freedom of housing choice. 4. To promote a housing program which maintains quality service and integrity which encourages private property owners to rent to very low-income households. D. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN [24 CFR 982.52 and 982.54] The purpose of the Section 8 Administrative Plan is to establish policies and procedures to implement the Program in a manner consistent with HUD requirements and local objectives. Section 8 Program requirements are specified in the Code of Federal Regulations, and it is not the purpose of this Plan to restate those regulations. This Plan will describe the policies concerning the functions for which there is discretion to establish local policies and procedures. These policies will cover applicants and participants in the Section 8 Program. The Burbank Housing Authority is responsible for complying with all changes in HUD regulations pertaining to these programs. If such changes conflict with this Plan, HUD regulations will have precedence. E. FAIR HOUSING POLICY [24 CFR 982.54(d)(6)] It is the policy of the Burbank Housing Authority to comply fully with all applicable federal and state laws governing fair housing and equal opportunity in housing and employment. No applicant will be denied the opportunity to apply for or receive assistance under the Section 8 Program on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, and age or on the actual or perceived familial or marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. To further its commitment to full compliance with applicable civil rights laws, the Burbank Housing Authority will provide information concerning federal and state legislation to Program participants. Such information will be made available during the initial briefing

Coordinator to participate in an interactive process with the Burbank Housing Authority, to determine what reasonable accommodation(s) may be granted. G. ADMINISTRATIVE FEE RESERVE [24 CFR 982.155(B)] The funding for the Section 8 Program allows the Burbank Housing Authority to earn administrative fees based on the number of units that are leased under the Program every month. There is an established HUD formula for calculating these administrative fees. Any administrative fee reserve funds are to be used first to cover any Program expenses that are not covered by the annual earned administrative fees, but the remainder of the reserve funds may be used for other housing purposes. Any plans to spend reserve funds for purposes other than Program maintenance need to have Housing Authority Board approval. H. TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENTS The Burbank Housing Authority has bilingual staff to assist non-English speaking persons in Armenian and Spanish languages. The City of Burbank has the ability to provide translation services to the Housing Authority in the languages of Farsi, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Toisan Cantonese, Filipino Tagalog, and Spanish Tagalog upon request. Any written translation of documents will be reviewed on the basis of need and cost considerations. In determining whether it is feasible to provide translation of documents written in English into other languages, the Burbank Housing Authority will consider the number of applicants and participants who do not speak English and speak the other language. If it is determined translating a document into a different language is not feasible, Burbank Housing Authority will make other efforts to explain the information contained in such documents to applicants and participants in their language. At any time that a person not fluent in English requests an Informal Hearing, the Burbank Housing Authority will have an interpreter present at the hearing whenever possible. The interpreter will execute a statement that the tenant had all of the information explained at the time of the hearing. That document will be retained in the tenant file. I. MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES (SEMAP) In an effort to monitor the performance of the housing agencies that administer the Section 8 Program, HUD has established the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). There are several areas of Program implementation that are included in SEMAP. Housing agencies are required to submit an annual certification that their policies and practices are in compliance with HUD standards. Every month, information concerning the Program is transmitted electronically to HUD for reporting purposes. This information gives HUD the ability to monitor performance without making a site visit.

Live-in aides are not subject to Non-Citizen Rule requirements and they are not considered to be a remaining member of the household if the tenant leaves the unit.

It is not a decision to be made by the Housing Authority. Income of Applicant Family MembersThe incomes of all members of the applicant family, listed on the application, will be taken into consideration to determine eligibility for the Section 8 Program. Applicant family members cannot exclude themselves from consideration.

Such applicant families will be given notice that their assistance will be pro-rated and that they may request an Informal Review if they contest this determination. 2. No eligible members. Applicant families that include no eligible members will be ineligible for assistance. Such families will be denied admission and offered an opportunity for an Informal Hearing. 3. Non-citizen students. Applicants falling into this category are not eligible for Section 8 assistance and will be offered an Informal Hearing. E.

SCREENING PROCEDURES FOR APPLICANTS [24 CFR 982.307] In an effort to prevent future drug-related and other violent criminal activity, the Housing Authority will endeavor to screen applicants as thoroughly and fairly as possible. All screening procedures shall be consistently administered in such a way as not to violate rights to privacy or to discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, religion, familial status, disability, sex or other legally protected classes under the law (as described in Chapter 1). Such screening procedures will apply to all members of the applicant family who are 18 years of age or older. Criminal history reports will be obtained for all members of the applicant family who are 18 years of age or older. Assistance will be denied if any applicant family member has ever been convicted or is currently/recently engaged (as defined in each subsection below) in one or more of the following behaviors that meet these HUD definitions: 1. Drug-related criminal activity is the illegal manufacture, sale, distribution, use or possession with intent to manufacture, sell, distribute or use a controlled substance by any family member. Drug-related criminal activity means on or off the premises, not just on or near the premises within the last five (5) years of application review. 2.

For purposes of this section, the circumstances related to any drug related or other criminal/non-criminal, or violent criminal activity (e.g., probation, parole, status of parole, etc.) will be reviewed before denying admission. If an applicant family is denied based on criminal record, the Burbank Housing Authority will notify the household of the proposed action and will provide a copy of the record from which the denial is based. For Informal Review procedures for Applicants please see Chapter 13 Complaints and Appeals. It is a HUD requirement that persons evicted from public housing, Indian Housing, Section 23 or any Section 8 Program because of drug-related criminal activity are ineligible for admission to the Section 8 Program for a three-year period beginning on the date of such eviction. G. SUITABILITY AS TENANTS [24 CFR 982.202(b)(1)]The Burbank Housing Authority may not screen for factors which relate to the suitability of the applicant family as tenants. It is the responsibility of the landlord to screen the applicants as to their suitability for tenancy. If an applicant feels that she/he has been discriminated against by a landlord, the Housing Authority will counsel them about their fair housing rights.

CHAPTER 4 APPLICANT WAITING LIST [24 CFR Part 5, Subpart D; 982.54(d)(1); 982.204, 982.205, 982.206] INTRODUCTION It is the objective of the Burbank Housing Authority to maintain an accurate Applicant Waiting List to provide an adequate pool of qualified applicants to fill vacancies in the Section 8 Program. This Chapter explains the preference categories that determine the order of placement of the applications on the Applicant Waiting List. Maintenance of accurate information on the Applicant Waiting List ensures that applicants are admitted to the Program in the proper order and in a timely manner. A. APPLICANT WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.202(c) and 982.204]Names will be selected from the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List in accordance with policies and preferences defined in this Administrative Plan. The Applicant Waiting List will be maintained in a manner that an application can be tracked from date of receipt to final disposition. The pre-applications will be sorted by preference category and will be a permanent file while active on the Waiting List. While all can apply, no applicant has a right or entitlement to be listed on the waiting list, or to any particular position on the waiting list. B. PREFERENCE CATEGORIES [24 CFR 982.207 and 982.4] The Section 8 Program allows Housing Authorities to apply local preferences to the applications in order to determine placement on the Applicant Waiting List. These preferences are intended to meet the needs of the community. The local preferences that will be used by the Burbank Housing Authority will be as follows: Residency PreferenceApplicants who reside in the City of Burbank or applicant families with a member who works or has been hired to work in the City of Burbank will be given preference over non-residents. The Section 8 Applicant Waiting List will be separated into the two broad categories of residents and non-residents. Applicants claiming additional preferences will be placed within that preference category. Burbank homeless individuals/families that have been working with qualified Burbank service providers, should utilize the Burbank address of the service provider.

This preference will assist those applicants that become homeless while on the waiting list; and homeless applicants in the future that apply to the Program with no home address that instead will utilize a Burbank service provider address with an Authorization form on file. Severely Rent Burdened PreferenceThis preference is for applicant families that pay more than 50% of their gross annual income towards the rent.

This category is different than the Homeless preference and does not apply to homeless households. C. PREFERENCE ELIGIBILITY [24 CFR 982.207] Applicants are allowed to claim the preferences at time of pre-application and their names will be placed on the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List according to that preference category. At time of final eligibility determination, the applicant will be required to provide verification of the preference. Changes in an applicant's circumstances while on the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List may qualify the applicant family for a preference. Applicants are required to notify the Burbank Housing Authority in writing when their circumstances change. When applicants claim to have recently become eligible for a preference, they will be placed on the Applicant Waiting List within the newly claimed preference. D. PREFERENCE DENIAL [24 CFR 982.207 If an applicant cannot provide third party verification to prove a preference at the time that the name is selected from the Applicant Waiting List, then the preference will be denied. Applicants will be informed in writing why the preference was denied, and they will be placed back on the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List without the denied preference. Applicants will have the right to an Informal Review. E. ORDER OF SELECTION [24 CFR 982.207(e)] When the preliminary applications are received, the preference categories claimed by the applicants will be honored. The verification of the preferences will be obtained at the time that the applicant name is selected from the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List.

TARGETED FUNDING [24 CFR 982.203]When HUD awards special funding for specific applicants, the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List will be searched for the first available applicant family meeting the targeted funding criteria. Applicants who meet the specific requirements for the targeted funding will be placed on a separate Applicant Waiting List for use in the targeted program. G. REMOVAL FROM WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.204(c)] In order to ensure applicants on the waiting list receive correspondence from the Burbank Housing Authority, it is the responsibility of each applicant to provide in writing any changes to address and contact information. Current and updated contact information will allow the Burbank Housing Authority to manage and maintain the waiting list, as required by HUD, for optimum implementation of the Section 8 Program. To that end, the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List will be updated periodically to ensure that contact, and preference information is on file for all applicants. Letters will be sent to all applicants on the Applicant Waiting List informing them that any changes in address must be sent in writing to the Burbank Housing Authority. The applicants will also be advised to send written notification of any change in household circumstance that would qualify them for a preference. Applicants will be required to complete an information update form and return it to the Housing Authority office within the specified time period. The Burbank Housing Authority has no control over postal delivery and will assume correspondence was delivered as addressed. Any applicant who fails to respond within the stated time period will have their name removed from the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List. The applicant will be informed in writing of their removal. If any correspondence that is sent out by the Burbank Housing Authority is returned by the Post Office for any reason without a forwarding address, the name will be removed from the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List without further notice. If a forwarding address is provided by the Post Office, the correspondence will be forwarded, however, time periods to respond will remain unchanged.

H. EXCEPTIONS FOR SPECIAL ADMISSIONS [24 CFR 982.203, 982.54(d)(3)]If HUD awards special funding to the Burbank Housing Authority for specifically targeted groups, these households will be admitted to the Section 8 Program under a special admission procedure which is outside of the regular Section 8 Applicant Waiting List process. These applicant families will not have to qualify for any preferences, nor are they required to be on the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List. The Burbank Housing Authority will maintain separate records of these admissions. The following are examples of the types of low-income households that may be designated by HUD for special admission based on their participation in the following programs: 1. A household displaced due to demolition or disposition of a public or Indian housing project; 2. A household residing in a multi-family rental housing project when HUD sells, forecloses or demolishes the project; 3. A household residing in housing covered by the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act of 1990; 4. A household residing in a project covered by a project-based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments contract at or near the end of the contract term; and 5.

CHAPTER 5 INCOME, ASSETS AND ALLOWANCES [24 CFR Part 5, Subparts B, D & E; Part 982, subpart E] INTRODUCTION The Burbank Housing Authority will use the methods described in this Administrative Plan to verify and determine that applicant family income at admission and reexamination is correct. The accurate calculation of annual income and adjusted income will ensure that participants are paying the proper amount of rent under the Section 8 Program regulations. This Chapter defines the sources of income that are included and excluded as well as allowable expenses and deductions. A. INCOME [24 CFR 5.609]Income includes all monetary amounts that are received by all members of the applicant family and participant household. Annual income is defined as the gross amount of income anticipated to be received during the future 12-month period after certification or recertification. The amount of annual income is used to determine whether or not applicants are within the applicable income limits. Gross income is the amount of income prior to any allowable expenses or deductions. Adjusted income is defined as the annual income minus any allowable expenses and deductions and cannot be more than 60 days old at the time of admission to the Program. Annual income includes, with respect to the family: 1.

For fully excluded income, the PHA is not required to follow the verification hierarchy, document when third-party verification is not available, or report the income on the 50058. Fully excluded income is defined as income that is entirely excluded from the annual income determination (for example, food stamps, earned income of a minor, or foster care funds) [Notice PIH 2013-04]. PHAs may accept a familys signed application or reexamination form as self-certification of fully excluded income. They do not have to require additional documentation. B. COMPUTATION OF ANNUAL INCOME [24 CFR 5.611 and 5.617] Gross annual income will be determined by combining all sources of income to derive the total income for a one-year period. The calculation method to be used for the various types of income will be calculated as follows: Earned Income 1. Gross monthly multiply gross monthly income by 12 pay periods. 2. Semi-monthly multiply the gross semi-monthly income by 24 pay periods. 3. Hourly multiply the gross hourly rate by the number of hours worked each week by 52 pay periods. 4. Weekly multiply the gross weekly rate by 52 pay periods. 5. Bi-weekly multiply the gross bi-weekly rate by 26 pay periods. Income Other Than Wages For applicant families or participant households having income other than wages, such as Temporary Aid to Needy Families, Social Security payments, SSI, disability income or pensions, the computations will be based on the gross monthly amount multiplied by 12 months. Fluctuating IncomeFor applicant families or participant households that have fluctuating amounts of income over a 12-month, such as Unemployment Insurance payments or earnings from a temporary employment agency, the monthly amount will be projected for a 12-month period to determine income. If the income changes, the head of household may request a recalculation at any time to adjust their portion of rent.Lump Sum Payments [24 CFR 5.609] Lump-sum payments caused by delays in processing periodic payments, such as unemployment or welfare assistance, are counted as income in the same manner as bonuses. Lump sum payments from Social Security or SSI are excluded from income, [24 CFR 5.611 and 5.617] [24 CFR 5.611 and 5.617] will be determined by combining all will be determined by combining all sources of income to derive sources of income to derive calculation method to be used for the various calculation method to be used for the various 1.

but any amount remaining, such as accumulated interest, will be considered an asset. The head of household needs to report the lump sum payment within 30 calendar days from receipt of the funds and a recalculation will be performed at that time. De Minimis Errors The BHA will not be considered out of compliance when making annual income determinations solely due to de minimis errors in calculating family income. A de minimis error is an error where the BHA determination of family income deviates from the correct income determination by no more than $30 per month in monthly adjusted income per family. If the BHA determines that there has been an income calculation error, the error(s) will be corrected retroactive to the effective date the action resulting in an error, regardless of the dollar amount associated with the error. Families will not be required to repay the BHA in instances where the BHA miscalculated income resulting in the family being undercharged for rent. Once the BHA becomes aware of the error, the family will be provided a 30-day notice of the increase to their rent portion. The BHA will take corrective action to credit a family if the family was overcharged tenant rent in income determination. The families rent portion will be temporarily adjusted down with additional HAP going to the property owner. The BHA will send a letter to the family and the landlord prior to the change in the payments notifying them of the change and the duration of the change. C. ASSETS [24 CFR 5.609] Net household assets will include equity in real property, savings, stocks, bonds, and other forms of capital investment, excluding interests in Indian trust land. Personal property, such as automobiles and furniture, will be excluded. In the case of a trust fund, the value of the trust will not be considered as an asset as long as the fund continues to be held in trust. Any income distributed from the trust fund shall be counted when determining annual income. When the net household assets are in excess of $5,000, the annual income shall include the greater of the actual income derived from all net household assets or a percentage of the value of such assets based on the current passbook savings rate. rmination of family income deviates from rmination of family income deviates from re than $30 per month in monthly adjusted re than $30 per month in monthly adjusted here has been an income calculation error, the error(s) will here has been an income calculation error, the error(s) will the action resulting in an error, regardless the action resulting in an error, regardless with the error.

D. CHANGE OF INCOME The head of a participant household must report any changes in household income within 30 calendar days of the change. The change of household income may have a direct impact on the calculation of total tenant payment. The Housing Authority must have information by the 5th day of the month in order to process the change for the following month. If the household income increases, and the household does not report the change, a retroactive calculation will be made to the point in time when the changes would have taken place. E. INCOME CHANGES FROM WELFARE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS [24 CFR 5.618] Annual income will not be reduced for purposes of calculating rental assistance payments when the reduction in welfare payments is the result of fraud or failure to comply with welfare requirements. When a household requests a rent reduction based on lower welfare payments, written verification must be obtained from the Department of Public Social Services that the reduction in benefits is not based on failure to participate in an economic self-sufficiency program or to comply with work activity requirements. Households that fall into this category will be provided the opportunity for an Informal Hearing. A recalculation of income will be performed when a reduction in benefits is the result of the following factors: 1. The expiration of a lifetime limit has been reached. 2. The participant has sought but has been unable to obtain employment. 3. The household has complied with welfare program requirements but loses welfare because of a durational time limit, such as a cap of welfare benefits for a period of no more than two years in a five-year period. F. INCOME FROM ADDITIONAL HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS The head of a participant household must report changes in household composition within 30 calendar days. The addition of people to the household may have a direct impact on household income and the calculation of total tenant payment. Any change to the household composition will be evaluated to determine if a recalculation of assistance needs to be made. point in time when the changes would have point in time when the changes would have E.

Visitors Any adult, not included as a member of the household, who has been in the unit more than 14 consecutive days without Burbank Housing Authority approval, or a total of 30 days in a 12-month period, will be considered to be living in the unit as an unauthorized household member. The household will need to include this person as a member of the household for calculation of income eligibility. If the head of household denies that this person is living in the assisted unit, then the burden of proof will rest with the tenant. In the absence of such proof, the individual will be considered an unauthorized member of the household. Written statements from the landlord concerning occupancy will be considered in making the determination. If the tenant is unable to prove that the person lives at another address, then the assistance will be terminated. The participant will have the right to request an Informal Hearing before the termination date. Caretakers There are situations where neither one of the parents remain in the household, due to death, illness, incarceration, or abandonment. In some cases, another adult moves into the unit to care for the minor children. In these situations, the caretaker will be considered a visitor for the first 90 days. At the end of that period, the income of the caretaker will be taken into account. As soon as the caretaker has been granted court-awarded custody or legal guardianship, the caretaker will be designated as the head of household. If the appropriate agency cannot confirm the guardianship status of the caretaker, the Housing Authority will review the status every 60 days. Children Minors and full-time students over 18 years of age who were a part of the household, but who now live away from home during the school year, may visit for up to 120 days per year without being considered a member of the household. These visits are subject to the approval of the landlord. In a joint custody arrangement, if the minor is in the household less than 120 days per year, the minor will be considered an eligible visitor and not a household member. G. INCOME FROM ABSENT HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS There are times when a member of the household leaves the unit, either temporarily or permanently. It is the responsibility of the head of household to report these changes to the Housing Authority within 30 calendar days of the absence. Depending on the type of absence, the income of the absent member may or may not be taken into consideration. An evaluation will need to be made to determine if the total household income has changed. If the income does change, a recalculation of the housing assistance payment will be made. Temporary Absences ed an unauthorized member of ed an unauthorized member of oncerning occupancy will be oncerning occupancy will be the tenant is unable to the tenant is unable to prove that the person prove that the person hen the assistance will be terminated.

Any person who is absent from the household for a period of less than 90 days will still be considered part of the household. With temporary absences, the income of the person will be taken into account when determining household income and total tenant payment. Permanent AbsencesAny member of the household who leaves the assisted unit for more than 90 days will be considered permanently absent. In cases where the entire household leaves the assisted unit for more than 90 days, the assistance will be terminated. In order to determine that the household member is absent from the unit, the Burbank Housing Authority will try to contact the head of household by telephone; send a certified letter; send the Housing Inspector to the unit; and will verify if the utilities are still in service. If there is no response from the household, then the assistance will be terminated. Under no circumstance does HUD allow an absence for more than 180 days. H. ALLOWANCES AND DEDUCTIONS [24 CFR 5.611] In calculating adjusted annual income, the HUD established allowances and deductions will be subtracted from the gross annual income. The adjusted annual income is used to determine the amount of rent that the tenant will pay toward the rent. The following list details mandatory deductions from annual income: 1) Dependent Allowance. There is an allowance of $480 for each person under 18 years of age (other than the head or spouse); for household members who are 18 or older and are full-time students and members who are disabled. 2) Elderly/Disabled Household Allowance. There is an allowance of $400 per household where the head or spouse is at least 62 years of age or is disabled. 3) Unreimbursed Expenses. The sum of the following unreimbursed expenses will be deducted to the extent that the sum of these expenses exceeds three percent of annual income: a. Unreimbursed medical expenses of any elderly or disabled household member. b. Unreimbursed reasonable attendant care and auxiliary apparatus expenses for each member of the household who is a person with a disability, to the extent necessary to enable any member of the household (including the member with a disability) to be employed, from the unit, the Burbank from the unit, the Burbank contact the head of household by telephone; send a certified contact the head of household by telephone; send a certified letter; send the Housing Inspector to the unit; and will verify if the utilities are still in letter; send the Housing Inspector to the unit; and will verify if the utilities are still in d, then the assistance will be terminated. d, then the assistance will be terminated. w an absence for more than 180 days. w an absence for more than 180 days.

CHAPTER 6 VERIFICATION PROCEDURES [24 CFR Part 5, Subparts B, D, E and F; 982.108] INTRODUCTION Proper verification of information is essential to the integrity of the Section 8 Program. Factors of eligibility and total tenant payment will be confirmed by third party verification and retained in the tenant file. Written verification will be obtained from independent sources whenever possible and any deviation from this policy will need to be thoroughly documented in the tenant file. Applicants and Program participants must provide true and complete information to the Burbank Housing Authority whenever information is requested. This Chapter explains the procedures and standards for verification of preferences, income, assets, allowable deductions, citizenship or immigration status, and changes in household composition. The Burbank Housing Authority will obtain written authorization from applicants and participants before requesting information from independent sources. A. METHODS OF VERIFICATION [24 CFR 5.233]The verification methods used to confirm the accuracy of information provided by the applicant or participant will have the following order of priority: 1. HUDs Enterprise Income Verification system (EIV). 2. Non-HUD Income Verification system (EIV). 3. Third-Party Written Verification. 4. Third-Party Written Verification form. 5.

INCOME VERIFICATION TOOL (IVT) The IVT is a tool for identifying families who may have concealed or under-reported income. When it appears that a family may have concealed or under-reported income, third party written verification of the income in question will be requested. EIV Identity Verification The EIV system verifies tenant identities against SSA records. These records are compared to PIC data for a match on Social Security number, name, and date of birth. Program participants whose identity verification has failed will be identified as part of the annual reexamination process. Work Number Participating employers provide employment verification information to The Work Number to act as their official agent for issuing employment verifications. Third Party Written VerificationThird-party written verification is used to verify information directly with the source. These verification forms must be marked with the office stamp of the independent third party or the information must be provided on their letterhead. Verifications received electronically from the information sources are considered to be third-party written verification. Computer matching reports from other agencies will be considered to be third-party written verification. Each adult member of the household will be required to sign an authorization form for the information source to release the specified information. Third-party written verification must be an original or authentic document generated by a third-party source dated within 120 days of the date received by the BHA. For fixed-income sources, a statement dated within the appropriate benefit year is acceptable documentation. Third-Party Oral Verification Third-party oral verification will be used when written third-party verification is delayed or not possible. When third-party oral verification is used, staff will be required to complete a Certification of Document Viewed or Person Contacted form, noting with whom they spoke, the date of the conversation, and the facts provided. If the information was obtained by telephone, the Housing Authority must originate the call. This type of verification must be approved by a supervisor. Review of Documents s against SSA records.

In the event that third-party written or oral verification is unavailable, the reason for this situation will be noted in the tenant file. At that point, the documents provided by the applicant or participant will be used as the primary source to provide complete information. This type of verification must be approved by a supervisor. All documents, excluding government checks, will be photocopied and retained in the tenant file. In cases where documents are viewed, which cannot be photocopied, staff viewing the documents will complete a Certification of Document Viewed or Person Contacted form. If third-party verification is received after documents have been accepted as provisional verification, and there is a discrepancy, staff will utilize the third-party verification. Self-Certification/Self-DeclarationThis type of verification is not to be used except in extremely unusual situations. When verification cannot be made by third-party verification or review of documents, applicants and participants will be required to submit a self-certification. The form of the self-certification must be a notarized statement of fact that is signed under penalty of perjury. This type of verification must be approved by a supervisor. B. ITEMS TO BE VERIFIED [24 CFR 982.516]The applicant or participant needs to provide whatever information is necessary to determine initial or ongoing eligibility for the Section 8 Program. The following list gives examples of the various items that need to be verified, however, this list is not all-inclusive. 1. All income not specifically excluded by the regulations. 2.

Eligible immigrants must fall into one of the categories specified by the HUD regulations and must have their status verified by Immigration and Naturalization Service. Each household member must declare his/her status. Assistance cannot be delayed, denied, or terminated while verification of status is pending. The form that must be completed is as follows: Citizens or nationals of the United States are required to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury. Proof of citizenship is required.

CHAPTER 7 SUBSIDY STANDARDSINTRODUCTION The subsidy standards used in the Section 8 Program determine the amount of assistance that each eligible applicant family and participant household will receive on a monthly basis. This Chapter explains how the subsidy standards are applied and the methods of calculation that will be used to determine the amount of subsidy. A. VOUCHER SIZE DETERMINATION The number of bedrooms shown on the Voucher indicates the maximum subsidy that would be available to the household before any deductions. The subsidy amount increases with the number of bedrooms. The household size is the determining factor when establishing Voucher size. If the household size changes, the subsidy standard will be changed at the next annual re-examination date. The standards in this section relate to the amount of subsidy only and do not dictate the actual living arrangements of the household. Guideline for Determining Voucher Size Voucher Size Household Members 1 Bedroom 1 - 2 2 Bedrooms 3 - 4 3 Bedrooms 5 - 6 4 Bedrooms 7 - 8 Changes in Household CompositionThe head of household must report the names of all members of the household that are residing in the unit, including any approved live-in aide. The head of household must obtain approval from the Housing Authority before moving any additional people into the unit. The exceptions to this rule are additions to the household by birth or adoption of a child or court-awarded custody. Any increase or decrease in household members must be reported within 30 calendar days. Changes in Bedroom Size If the size of the household increases, and the unit does not have an adequate number of bedrooms to meet the Housing Quality Standards, the household will need to move to household will receive on a household will receive on a standards are applied and the standards are applied and the determine the amount of subsidy. determine the amount of subsidy.

The Housing Authority will assist the household in locating another unit by providing a current list of available apartments where the landlords will accept the Section 8 Program. If the household does not relocate to another unit within the 120 days, the Section 8 rental assistance will be terminated. B. UNIT SIZE SELECTED [24 CFR 982.505 (c) (i)(ii)] The payment standard is based on the number of people in the household and specifies the maximum amount of subsidy. The household may select a unit with a different number of bedrooms than what is specified on the Voucher. In those situations, the following guidelines will apply: 1. Subsidy Limitation: In the Voucher Program, the subsidy amount will be the lower of the payment standard or the payment standard amount for the number of bedrooms in the actual unit selected. In cases where the rent is lower than the payment standard, the subsidy amount will be the balance of the rent after the tenant portion is deducted. 2. Utility Allowance: The utility allowance used to calculate the gross rent is based on the lower of the actual unit size or the voucher bedroom size. 3. Housing Quality Standards: These standards allow two persons per living or sleeping room. The following table gives the guidelines for occupancy in order to prevent overcrowding: C. PAYMENT STANDARDS [24 CFR 982.503 (a)(b) and 982.505 (a)(b)]A payment standard is used to calculate the monthly housing assistance for a household. The payment standard is the maximum monthly subsidy payment before any deductions.

very low-income households to obtain rental units in the City which meet the affordability requirement. Each year when the fair market rent limits are published (usually in September of each year and take effect October 1st of each year), the payment standards may be adjusted accordingly.2 The payment standards will be reviewed annually to determine whether the tenants are able to find quality units in a timely manner. Each year during the Annual Plan approval and adoption process by the Housing Authority Board, the Housing Authority Board will be presented with the payment standard for the upcoming federal fiscal year (October 1 September 30). Notification will be provided to Program participants at least 12 months in advance of a reduction in payment standard per HUD rules and regulations during the annual recertification process. An increase in the payment standard will be calculated at the next, regularly scheduled annual recertification for an existing participant. Furthermore, all participants of the Program will receive advance notification of any Resident Advisory Board (RAB) and Housing Authority Board meetings when a reduction in payment standard/subsidy level will be considered (increasing a participants portion of the rent). Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) [24 CFR 888.113(c)(3)] Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) are Fair Market Rents (FMRs) calculated at the ZIP code level rather than for the entire metropolitan area. SAFMRs are designed to help families access low-poverty, high-opportunity areas by offering rental assistance that matches the local market rent, making housing in these neighborhoods more affordable for families. The Burbank Housing Authority has been designated by HUD as an SAFMR PHA and, in accordance with 24 CFR 888.113(c)(3), and was required to implement SAFMR-based payment standards no later than January 1, 2025. SAFMRs will apply to all tenant-based vouchers in the BHAs jurisdiction, including special vouchers such as the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program, Foster Youth to Independence (FYI), and special housing types such as Single Room Occupancies (SROs). The BHA may, without HUD approval, establish an exception payment standard of up to and including 120% of the SAFMR if required as a reasonable accommodation for a family that includes a person with a disability (or, in the case of HUD-VASH, up to 140% of the SAFMR). The BHA may request HUD approval to establish a payment standard exceeding 120% of the SAFMR (or 140% in the case of HUD-VASH), if necessary, as a reasonable accommodation for such a family.

The family moves. A change in household composition requires a change in payment standard at the next annual reexamination.

PBVs The BHA will not apply SAFMRs to the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program but will apply the Metropolitan Area Fair Market Rents (MAFMRs) to the PBV Program. Exception to Payment Standard as a Reasonable Accommodation Federal regulations stipulate that requests for accommodations will be considered reasonable if they do not create an "undue financial and administrative burden" for the Public Housing Agency or result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the program or service offered. The BHA may, as an accommodation, grant a higher payment standard if the BHA determines it is necessary and reasonable to enable a person with a disability to obtain a suitable housing unit. The BHA may approve a higher payment standard up to 120% of the FMR. Requests for accommodations requiring approval of a payment standard exceeding 120% of the FMR will require HUD approval. (See Chapter 1 for policies regarding the request for reasonable accommodations) D.

the tenant portion is the greatest of 30% of the adjusted monthly income or 10% of gross income. The Housing Authority does not have a minimum rent amount. E. SUBSIDY AMOUNTS [982.505] For the Voucher Program, the subsidy is based on the payment standard for the number of household members and the size of the unit selected. The subsidy amount is equal to the lower of the payment standard minus the tenant payment or the gross rent minus the tenant payment. In situations where special housing types are allowed for participation in the Program as a reasonable accommodation for a household with a disabled member, there are specific rules that apply to the calculation method for the amount of subsidy. These various types of subsidy are found in 24 CFR 982.604, 608, 613, 617 and 619 (Including HOTMA 2016). F. CHANGES IN HOUSEHOLD SUBSIDY [24 CFR 982.505 (c)]The payment standard that was used at the time that the unit was placed under Section 8 contract will remain in effect, unless the household composition changes. If the household size increases or decreases during the HAP contract term, the new family unit size may be used to determine the payment standard amount for the family immediately but no later than the family's first regular reexamination following the change in family unit size.the new family size must be used to determine the payment standard amount for the family beginning at the familys first regular reexamination following the change in family size.

H. UTILITY ALLOWANCES [24 CFR 982.517)] The Housing Authority has a Schedule of Utility Allowances which shows the typical cost of utilities not included in the rent. The allowances are based on the typical cost of utilities and services paid by energy-conservative households that occupy housing of similar size and type in the same geographical areas. Allowances are not based on an individual households actual energy consumption. The Schedule of Utility Allowances is updated on an annual basis. HCV program regulations require a PHA to approve a utility allowance amount higher than shown on the PHAs schedule if a higher allowance is needed as a reasonable accommodation for a family member with a disability. (See Chapter 1 for policies regarding the request for reasonable accommodations). I. PRORATION OF ASSISTANCE [24 CFR 5.520]Proration of assistance must be offered to any mixed household, which includes at least one U.S. citizen or eligible immigrant, and any number of ineligible members based on immigration status. Mixed households that were participants on June 19, 1995, and who do not qualify for continued assistance at full subsidy, must be offered prorated assistance. Prorated assistance is calculated by determining the amount of assistance payable if all household members were eligible and multiplying that figure by the percent of the members who actually are eligible.

The Voucher is valid for a total term of 120 calendar days. The household must submit a Request for Tenancy Approval within that period or the Voucher will expire. If the Voucher does expire, the head of household may request an Informal Review. For households with a person with a disability, an extension of 60 calendar days will be granted upon request as a reasonable accommodation. The Housing Authority does allow for suspensions (tolling) of time on the term of the Voucher. F. PORTABILITY [24 CFR 982.353, 355 Portability is the practice of Section 8 tenants being allowed to take their rental assistance with them when they move. A Program participant has a statutory right of nationwide portability to any jurisdiction where a Housing Authority is administering the Section 8 Voucher Program. The Housing Authority that issues the Voucher for the first time is called the initial Housing Authority. When the household relocates to another jurisdiction that Housing Authority is referred to as the receiving Housing Authority. For admission to the Program, the household must be income eligible in the area where the household initially leases a unit with assistance. The receiving Housing Authority does not re-determine eligibility for a portable household that was already receiving assistance in the initial Housing Authoritys Section 8 Program. However, for a portable household that was not already receiving assistance, the initial Housing Authority must determine whether the household is eligible for admission to the Receiving Housing Authoritys Program. Burbank residents will be allowed to move out of the jurisdiction during their first year on the Program if they desire. Non-residents need to live in Burbank for their first year of Program participation before being allowed to move to another jurisdiction. In order to qualify for portability, the household must be income eligible in the geographical area where the assisted unit is located. The receiving Housing Authority must issue a Voucher to the Household. The term of the receiving Housing Authority Voucher may not expire before 30 calendar days from the expiration date of the initial PHA voucher. The receiving Housing Authority must determine whether to extend the Voucher term. The household must submit a Request for Tenancy Approval to the receiving Housing Authority during the term of the Voucher issued by the receiving Housing Authority. Households that are moving out of Burbank will need to inform the Housing Authority of the location of the new unit. The Burbank Housing Authority will contact the receiving Housing Authority and send the agency the appropriate transfer documents. In situations where household are moving into Burbank under portability, the sending Housing Authority will need to follow the same procedure. If other Housing Authorities decide to bill the Burbank Housing Authority for tenants who moved out of Burbank, the payments will be made on a monthly basis to the appropriate Housing Authority at the same time as the other payments to landlords are made. being allowed to take their rental assistance being allowed to take their rental assistance A Program participant has a stA Program participant has a statutory right of nationwide atutory right of nationwide ng Authority is administering the Section 8 ng Authority is administering the Section 8 thority that issues the Voucthority that issues the Voucher for the first time is her for the first time is hority.

G. VOUCHER ISSUANCE FOR SPLIT HOUSEHOLDS [24 CFR 982.315] In instances where an assisted household is divided into two otherwise eligible components, due to divorce or legal separation, the tenants will need to decide which household component will receive the Voucher. A reduction in household size may require a reduction in the bedroom size shown on the Voucher. H. REMAINING HOUSEHOLD MEMBER [24 CFR 982.315]In cases where the head of household is no longer in the unit, the household member remaining in the unit may be entitled to continued assistance. The remaining household member must have been on the lease and must have been approved by the Burbank Housing Authority to be living in the unit before the head of household vacated.

CHAPTER 9 REQUEST FOR TENANCY APPROVAL AND CONTRACT EXECUTION INTRODUCTION This Chapter describes the policies and procedures that pertain to processing the required forms to place a rental unit under the Section 8 Program. All of these procedures must be followed in the proper sequence and all documents must be executed by all parties before the first housing assistance payment is made. A. REQUEST FOR TENANCY APPROVAL [24 CFR 982.305 (b)]The Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA) is the first document that is signed when the tenant finds a suitable unit for the Program. This form must be signed by the landlord and the tenant and needs to be submitted to the Housing Authority during the period that the Voucher is valid. The information on the form will be reviewed to determine whether the unit qualifies for the Section 8 Program. The landlord must also submit a rent schedule for the other units in the building. The rent for the selected unit will be reviewed in comparison with the unassisted units. In addition, the landlord will need to provide proof of ownership, such as a grant deed or tax bill, and must sign the W-9 form for the IRS. If the property is managed by a professional property management company, a copy of the management agreement must be provided. The unit will be inspected after all of this documentation is received. If the Request for Tenancy Approval cannot be approved for any reason, the landlord and the tenant will be contacted immediately. They will be advised concerning the steps that would be necessary to approve the unit. If the landlord does not want to take steps to change the circumstances, such as reducing the rent or making the repairs, then the tenant will be encouraged to look for another unit. At that time, the tenant will be given a new Request for Tenancy Approval form to be used elsewhere. B. ELIGIBLE TYPES OF HOUSING [24 CFR 982.352] All typical structure types, including but not limited to single-family houses, condominiums, townhouses, multi-family apartment units and mobile homes are eligible for inclusion in the Section 8 Program. However, there are no existing mobile home parks in the City of Burbank. If at any point in the future, one such park is developed, this type of housing will be included as being eligible for participation in the Section 8 Program.

C. SPECIAL HOUSING TYPES [24 CFR 982.601]There are special housing types that are eligible for Section 8 assistance as a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability. The participant must provide a certification from a medical professional that this type of housing is necessary. The following types of housing fall within this category: Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Housing [24 CFR 982.604]For a person residing in SRO housing, the payment standard is 75 percent of the zero-bedroom payment standard and the utility allowance is 75 percent of the zero-bedroom utility allowance. Congregate Housing [24 CFR 982.608]Unless there is a live-in aide, the household residing in congregate housing, the payment standard is the zero-bedroom payment standard amount. If there are two or more rooms in the unit (not including kitchen or sanitary facilities), the payment standard is the one-bedroom payment standard amount. Group Home [24 CFR 982.613]Unless there is a live-in aide, the payment standard for a person who resides in a group home is the lower of the payment standard for the household size or the pro-rata share of the payment standard for the group home size. The utility allowance for each assisted person residing in a group home is the pro-rata portion of the utility allowance for the group home unit size. Shared Housing [24 CFR 982.617]An assisted household may live in shared housing with other assisted or unassisted residents including the owner of the residence. The payment standard is the lower of the payment standard for the household size or the pro-rata portion of the payment standard for the shared housing unit size. The utility allowance is the pro-rata portion of the utility allowance for the shared housing unit. Cooperative Housing [24 CFR 982.619]For this type of housing, the rent to landlord is the monthly carrying charge under the agreement between the assisted member and the cooperative. The carrying charge consists of the amount assessed to the member which covers the members share of the cooperative debt service, operating expenses, and necessary payments to cooperative reserve funds. This monthly amount is subject to the rent limitations in the Section 8 Program. ment standard is 75 percent of the zero-ment standard is 75 percent of the zero-he utility allowance is 75 perhe utility allowance is 75 percent of the zero-bedroom cent of the zero-bedroom de, the household residing in de, the household residing in congregate housing, the payment congregate housing, the payment ment standard amount. ment standard amount.

D. LEASE REVIEW [24 CFR 982.308]The Housing Authority will provide a sample lease and will encourage the landlord to use that form. If the landlord submits a different lease, the Housing Authority may review the lease to determine if the lease complies with State and local law. The Housing Authority may decline to approve the tenancy if the Housing Authority determines that the lease does not comply with State or local law. House rules of the landlord may be attached to the lease as an addendum, provided that they do not violate any fair housing provisions and do not conflict with the Addendum to Lease form that is required by HUD. E. RENT REASONABLENESS [24 CFR 982.507] The Housing Authority will not approve a lease until it has been determined that the rent is reasonable compared to rents for unassisted units. This determination will be made: 1. At initial lease-up, 2. Any time the landlord requests a rent increase, 3. When directed by HUD, 4. At the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 10 percent decrease in the published fair market rent (FMR) in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The Housing Authority may also re-determine reasonable rents at any time. The rent charged for a unit under the Section 8 Program cannot be the highest rent for that size unit in the building. Landlords will be required to provide rent schedules for all of the units in their building where the Section 8 unit is located. The Housing Authority will maintain a Rent Comparable Reference Guide to be used to determine rent reasonableness. The items that will be included will be: 1. Number of bedrooms, 2. Square footage, 3. Quality, 4. Amenities (dishwasher, air conditioning, covered parking), 5. Age of unit, 6. Neighborhood, and 7. Unit type. The listings in the Reference Guide will be updated annually. A point system to rate the comparability of units will be used and documented in the case file.

comparables will be used for new units (initial lease-up) and one comparable will be used when the landlord requests a rent increase. Units considered assisted due to a rent restriction remain excluded from rent reasonableness determinations until the PHA is notified by the owner or otherwise determines that the rent restriction has expired, or the restricted rents are no longer below market. F. INFORMATION TO LANDLORDS [24 CFR 982.307(B), 982.54 (d)(7)]When landlords call the Burbank Housing Authority to obtain information concerning tenants, they will be told that information about tenants is not given to individuals. Landlords will be encouraged to follow their standard screening procedures to determine the suitability of Voucher holders as tenants. If a landlord needs to obtain specific information about a previous tenant who is still on the Section 8 Program, a staff person will call the tenant and request that the tenant call the landlord. G. DISAPPROVAL OF LANDLORDS [24 CFR 982.306]A landlord does not have a right to participate in the Section 8 Program. There are certain circumstances under which a property landlord will be disapproved for participation. These circumstances include but are not limited to: 1. HUD has informed the Burbank Housing Authority that the landlord has been disbarred, suspended, or subject to a limited denial of participation under federal regulations. 2. HUD has informed the Housing Authority that the federal government has instituted an administrative or judicial action against the landlord for violation of the Fair Housing Act or other federal equal opportunity requirements and such action is pending. 3. HUD has informed the Housing Authority that a court or administrative agency has determined that the landlord has violated the Fair housing Act or other federal equal opportunity requirements. 4.

The landlord is related to any household member as a parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother. This restriction will be waived as a reasonable accommodation for a household that has a person with a disability. H. CONTRACT EXECUTION PROCESS [24 CFR 982.305(c)]In order to finalize the contract process, the landlord and the tenant will execute the Lease and the Addendum to the Lease. The landlord and the Housing Authority will execute the Housing Assistance Payments Contract and copies will be given to all parties. The unit must pass inspection prior to the first payment under the contract. Payments to landlords are made on the first day of the month unless the first falls on a weekend or holiday, then the payment will be made the first following business day. The term of the contract is specified on the documents as the first day of assistance. The contract continues as long as the tenant continues to receive assistance in that unit. I. RECERTIFICATIONS [24 CFR 982.516] The income of each participant household is required to be recertified annually. Third party verification will be obtained for income and assets. The recertification process will commence 90 days before the anniversary date of the Housing Assistance Payments Contract. Income limits are not used as a test for continued eligibility at recertification. The household remains eligible for participation as long as the tenant portion does not equal the rent. J. RENT INCREASES Rent increases in the Voucher Program must be given in writing to the tenant and the Housing Authority 60 days in advance. In all cases, the new rent must be considered reasonable when compared to unassisted units. The Housing Authority will not approve a rent increase for a unit that is in failed HQS status or subject to abatement of Housing Assistance Payments.K.

All of this documentation must be complete before a payment is made to the new landlord. The recertification date for the tenant will remain the same. L. MOVES [24 CFR 982.354] The Program regulations allow households to move with continued assistance provided that they are in good standing with the Housing Authority. The household is informed that they should not move in the first year of a new Housing Assistance Payments Contract. However, there are situations that may necessitate the household to move. These situations include the following circumstances: 1. The lease was terminated by mutual agreement between the landlord and the tenant. 2. The landlord has given the household a notice to vacate or has commenced an action to evict the tenant. 3. The household has given the landlord a written 30-Day Notice of Intent to Vacate and has provided a copy to the Housing Authority. 4. The lease for the old unit has termination because the Housing Authority has canceled the Housing Assistance Payments Contract for landlord breach of obligations or the unit does not pass inspection. At the time of a move, the assistance will stop at the old unit at the end of the month in which the tenant ceases to occupy the unit. Assistance will start in the new unit on the effective date of the lease and contract. Assistance payments may overlap for the month in which the household moves. A move within the same building or project will be processed like any other move. Households that owe the Burbank Housing Authority money under a Repayment Agreement must pay all monies owed in full before being allowed to move. This requirement may be waived if the inability to move would present a hardship to the tenant. Any exception to this rule would need to be approved by the Housing Administrator. w households to move with continued assistance provided w households to move with continued assistance provided hority.

CHAPTER 10 HOUSING QUALITY STANDARDS AND INSPECTIONS[24 CFR 982.401] INTRODUCTION Housing Quality Standards are the HUD minimum quality standards for the Section 8 Program. Units are required to meet these standards at both initial occupancy and during the term of the assistance. These standards apply to the unit, the building, and the premises. Newly leased units must pass the Housing Quality Standards inspection before the beginning date of assistance. The Burbank Housing Authority will inspect each unit under the Section 8 Program at least once per year. Quality control inspections will be performed by a Housing staff member on at least five percent of all units under contract. This Chapter describes the procedures for performing Housing Quality Standards inspections and the time frames to be used for repairs. It also explains the responsibilities of the landlord and tenant as well as the consequences of non-compliance with the Housing Quality Standards requirements. A. TYPES OF INSPECTIONS [24 CFR 982.401(a), 982.405]Initial Inspections At the time that the Request for Tenancy Approval is submitted, an initial inspection will be scheduled to be performed within five working days. The purpose of the initial inspection is to make sure that the unit meets the minimum requirements for decent, safe and sanitary housing, which are contained in the Housing Quality Standards. The requirements for the various items to be inspected are contained in the HUD Inspection Report. This report form is completed for all units approved for the Section 8 Program. If a unit does not pass inspection, the landlord and tenant are notified immediately, and the landlord will be given 14 calendar days to make the repairs3. The landlord will be allowed to have two reinspections to check that the repairs have been made. The maximum time period to make these repairs will be 30 calendar days. If the landlord does not make the repairs within the maximum time period, the tenant will need to find another unit. In addition, the utilities must be in service and the appliances must be present and in working order prior to the effective date of the Housing Assistance Payments Contract. 3 The HQS Inspection Manual requires the Burbank Housing Authority Inspector to check for minimum standards of habitability. Using the guidance available, the inspector makes determinations as to whether or not a unit passes inspection. In recent years, bed bugs have reemerged in the United States. Inspectors will utilize the HQS Inspection Manual to determine if a bed bug infestation exists and subsequently the unit may fail the HQS inspection. andards for the Section 8 andards for the Section 8 h initial occupancy and during h initial occupancy and during These standards apply to the unit, the building, and the These standards apply to the unit, the building, and the y Standards inspection before y Standards inspection before t each unit under the Set each unit under the Section 8 Program at ction 8 Program at tions will be performed by a Housing staff tions will be performed by a Housing staff under contract.

Biennial Inspections All units under the Section 8 Program will be inspected at least every two years. However, the Housing Authority reserves the right to inspect units more often as deemed necessary, such as units that do not pass inspection. Those units will be inspected as often as necessary, and more often than once every two years. The landlord and tenant are advised of the inspection date and they must make the unit available for inspection. Move-Out Inspections At the time that a tenant moves out of the unit, either the landlord or the tenant may request a move-out inspection in order to verify the condition of the unit. Special Inspections If at any time that the landlord or tenant notifies the Housing Authority that the unit does not meet Housing Quality Standards, a special inspection will be performed. The unit will be inspected, and the Inspector will notify the landlord and tenant of any repairs that need to be made. A special inspection may also be conducted as the result of a complaint by a responsible party, such as a property manager, that unauthorized people are living in the unit. Quality Control Inspections [24 CFR 982.405(b)] Each month a Housing staff member or other qualified person will conduct quality inspections of at least 5 percent of the total number of units under contract during the fiscal year. The unit sample must include only units that have been inspected within the preceding three months. The purpose of the quality control inspections is to ascertain that each inspector is conducting accurate and complete inspections. This procedure will also ensure that there is consistency among the inspectors in the application of the Housing Quality Standards. A log will be maintained to document the dates that the quality control inspections were conducted. Time Standards for Repairs 1. Emergency items which endanger health or safety must be corrected by the landlord within 24 hours of notification. 2. For non-emergency items, repairs must be made within 30 calendar days. 3. For major repairs, time periods beyond 30 calendar days may be granted. B.

If an Inspector makes note of deteriorated (peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking or otherwise damaged) paint in a unit (during visual assessment inspections), the Inspector will notify the owner that he or she is legally required to hire an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified tester to determine if lead-based paint exists; and to remediate, if necessary. Once assessment, and if required, remediation is complete, the report is required to be retained by the property owner for review at the request of the Burbank Housing Authority. D. FAILED INSPECTIONS [24 CFR 982.405, 982.453] [24 CFR 982.404(b)] If a unit fails to meet Housing Quality Standards, the Housing Authority will abate the rental assistance payment to the landlord. After the repairs have been made, an inspection will be conducted, and rental assistance payments will be resumed if the unit passes inspection. No retroactive payments will be made to the landlord for the period of time that the unit did not comply with the Housing Quality Standards. E. OWNER AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY FOR HQS COMPLIANCE The Housing Authority will require that owners maintain assisted units in compliance with Housing Quality Standards (HQS) at all times.

CHAPTER 11 DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ASSISTANCEINTRODUCTION The federal regulations dictate circumstances when assistance must be denied or terminated due to willful action or inaction by the applicant or participant household. The Burbank Housing Authority has not established any other circumstances under which such action is necessary. There is a concerted effort made to inform applicants and participants about their responsibilities and obligations under the Section 8 Program. At the initial briefing session, the requirements of the Program are discussed with the head of household and the reasons for denial or termination of assistance are explained. This Chapter also describes the situations where the Housing Authority is required to deny or terminate assistance. VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2022 (VAWA) The Burbank Housing Authority will comply with the reauthorized and amended Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2022 (VAWA). VAWA protects individuals who are survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity from being evicted or terminated from housing assistance based on acts of such violence against them. Victims will need to complete any of the HUD forms that would best apply to their situation under current law, signed and submitted by the family along with written certification from a knowledgeable professional. Finally, staff will follow HUD rules and regulations when an applicant, resident, or tenant requests admission or continued residency as a result of being a self-petitioner under VAWA (non-citizen victims) and will have on file an Emergency Transfer Plan as required by HUD. HUDs Offices of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity and General Counsel will enforce VAWA 2022 using existing Fair Housing Act complaint process. The BHA will continue to comply as regulations and policies are issued and implemented by HUD. VAWA 2022 revises the definition of domestic violence and adds the definitions of economic abuse and technological abuse as noted in the Glossary. A.

AIDS, cancer, or glaucoma is legal under California State Law, the Burbank Housing Authority will issue a warning to the participant that use of medicinal marijuana is grounds for termination of assistance.4 The Burbank Housing Authority will offer conditions on assistance to the family and the family must sign the agreement acknowledging that they understand the policy. If the family violates the terms of the Burbank Housing Authoritys agreement, program assistance may be terminated. Participants who have been convicted of manufacturing or producing methamphetamine on the premises of an assisted housing project will have their assistance terminated and will be permanently ineligible for future participation in the Section 8 Program. The Burbank Housing Authority will not deny admission to or terminate assistance under the Section 8 Program to for a tenant or an immediate family member if any members of the household are victims or threatened victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, economic abuse, or technological abuse. If the tenant claims that the denial or termination of assistance is based upon behavior resulting from a disability, the Housing Authority will refer the matter to the ADA Coordinator for the City of Burbank. The ADA Coordinator will review the case to determine if there is an accommodation which would negate the behavior resulting from the disability. This referral will occur before any final determination is effective. C. ONE STRIKE POLICY [HUD Notice PIH 96-27]The One Strike Policy established by HUD is designed to emphasize the fact that federally assisted housing is intended to provide a decent, safe and sanitary place to live and raise families. Assisted housing is not meant to be a place to commit crime, to use drugs, to sell drugs or to terrorize neighbors. It is the intention of the Burbank Housing Authority to fully endorse and implement a policy which is designed to encourage a safe and drug-free community and to keep Program participants free from threats to their personal safety. Notice of Termination of Assistance If an adult member of the household is convicted of or engaged in drug-related, violent criminal activity or other criminal activity during the time that the household is participating in the Section 8 Program, the Housing Authority will terminate assistance. In this case, the Housing Authority will give the household a written notice that contains the following information: 4 The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA) of 1998 (42 U.S.C. 13661) prohibits the illegal use of controlled substances, including state legalized medicinal marijuana, in housing assistance programs.

The tenancy may be terminated by the tenant or the landlord. No future subsidy payments on behalf of the household will be made after the month in which the Contract is terminated. If the household continues to occupy the unit after the Section 8 Contract is terminated, then the household will be responsible for the total amount of rent due to the landlord.

Any time that the Housing Authority proposes termination of the Housing Assistance Payments Contract, the participant will be given an opportunity for an Informal Hearing. The Housing Authority will give both the participant and the landlord a written 30-Day Notice of Termination. The Housing Assistance Payments Contract will be terminated in the following situations: 1. When the Housing Authority terminates assistance to the participant household. 2. When the household is required to move from a unit due to overcrowding. 3. When the unit does not pass the Housing Quality Standards inspection. 4. When there has been a zero rental assistance payment for 180 days due to the tenant portion of the rent being equal to the rent. 5. When funding is no longer available under the Annual Contributions Contract from the federal government. F. TERMINATION OF TENANCY BY THE LANDLORD [24 CFR 982.310, 982.455] If the landlord wishes to terminate the tenancy, the eviction procedures found in the California Civil Code must be followed. The landlord must provide the Housing Authority with a copy of the eviction notice. Housing assistance payments will continue while the tenant remains in the unit provided that the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards. By accepting the monthly payment from the Housing Authority, the landlord certifies that the tenant is still in the unit, the rent is reasonable, the unit is in good condition, and the landlord is in compliance with the Housing Assistance Payments Contract. G. TERMINATION OF TENANCY BY THE PARTICIPANT [24 CFR 982.309(b)(2) The participant is not a party to the Housing Assistance Payments Contract, but the Contract will terminate at such time as the household moves out of the unit. The Housing Authority cannot make housing assistance payments for the unit after the household vacates. The household cannot move out of the unit in the first year of lease unless the landlord consents. H. PROGRAM TERMINATION FOR NON-CITIZENS [24 CFR 5.514, 5.516, 5.518]Participant households without U.S. citizens or eligible immigrants are not eligible for the Section 8 Program.

Service (INS) primary and secondary verifications fail to document the eligible status, the household may make an appeal to the INS. Assistance may not be terminated while verification of the eligible immigration status is pending. Prior to the time that the assistance is terminated, the household will be offered an Informal Hearing. Assistance to the household may not be delayed, denied or terminated on the basis of immigration status at any time prior to the receipt of the decision on the INS appeal. In addition, assistance to a participant household may not be terminated or denied while the Housing Authority Informal Hearing is pending. However, assistance to an applicant household may be delayed pending the Housing Authority Informal Review. INS Determination of IneligibilityIf a household member claims to be an eligible immigrant and the INS verification system and manual search do not verify the claim, the Housing Authority will notify the applicant or participant. The notice will be sent within 10 calendar days of determination to inform the household of their right to appeal to the INS within 30 calendar days. The household may also request an Informal Hearing with the Housing Authority either in lieu of or subsequent to the INS appeal. If the household appeals to the INS, they must give the Housing Authority a copy of the appeal and proof of mailing or the Housing Authority may proceed to deny or terminate assistance. The time period to request an appeal may be extended by the Housing Authority for good cause. The written request for an Informal Hearing must be received by the Housing Authority within 30 calendar days from the date of the letter sent to the applicant or participant. If an appeal was made to the INS, then the request for Informal Hearing must be made within 30 calendar days of receipt of that notice. After receipt of the written request, an Informal Hearing will be conducted in accordance with the procedures described in Chapter 13 for participants. If the Hearing Officer decides that the individual is not eligible, and there are no other eligible household members, then the Housing Authority will deny assistance to the applicant household. If there are eligible members in the household, the Housing Authority will offer to prorate the assistance or give the household the option to remove the ineligible members. There are other situations that pertain to the Non-Citizen Rule and involve the following actions: 1. If any household member fails to provide documentation or certification as required by the federal regulations, then that member is treated as ineligible. 2.

Participants whose assistance is pro-rated are entitled to an Informal Hearing based on the grounds that their portion of the rent is being redetermined. 4. Households who are denied participation or are terminated from assistance for fraud in connection with the Non-Citizen Rule are entitled to an Informal Hearing. Temporary Termination [24 CFR 5.514 (c)(1)(iii)] If the Housing Authority determines that a household member has knowingly permitted another individual who is not eligible for assistance to reside on a permanent basis, the Housing Authority will terminate assistance for a period of 24 months. This provision does not apply if the ineligible household member was taken into consideration for proration of assistance. I. TERMINATION OF HAP CONTRACT AND HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS (HCV) DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FUNDING [24 CFR 982.454]The Housing Choice Voucher program regulations allow the Housing Authority to deny families permission to move and to terminate Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contracts if funding under the Consolidated Annual Contributions Contract (CACC) is insufficient to support continued assistance for families participating in the program. The Housing Authority will determine whether there is sufficient funding to pay for currently assisted families. Prior to terminating any HAP contracts, the Housing Authority will determine if any other actions can be taken to reduce program costs. If after implementing all reasonable cost cutting measures, there is not enough funding available to provide continued assistance for current participants, the Housing Authority will terminate HAP contracts as a last resort. Before terminating HAP contracts, the Housing Authority will notify the HUD field office and the Financial Management Center (FMC). In addition, the Housing Authority Board must approve any HAP contract terminations due to insufficient funding. The Housing Authority will terminate HAP contracts and/or cancel HCV in the following order: 1. Cancel all outstanding vouchers issued to applicants from the waiting list. 2. Contact receiving Housing Agencies to request absorption of portable contracts. 3. Cancel all outstanding vouchers for participants who are not currently being assisted in a contracted unit. 4. Participants with zero HAP contracts.

CHAPTER 12 REPAYMENT/RECOVERY OF OUTSTANDING DEBTS [24CFR 982.453(b), 982.552 (v)(vii)] INTRODUCTION This Chapter describes the policies to be followed to recover funds that are owed by tenants and landlords to the Burbank Housing Authority. In an effort to prevent overpayments, the Burbank Housing Authority informs Program participants about the Section 8 Program rules and regulations on a regular basis. Before a debt is assessed, the participant or the landlord will be given ample opportunity to present documentation that would dispute the Housing Authority assertion that an overpayment has been made. The case file will contain written documentation concerning the cause of the overpayment and the calculations to determine the amount of the debt. The Burbank Housing Authority will use a variety of collection methods to recover debts including, but not limited to: 1. Repayment agreements 2. Collection agencies 3. Abatements 4. Reductions 5. Income tax set-off programs 6. Civil Suits 7. Credit bureaus 8. Prosecutions A. REPAYMENTS There are situations where participants do not report changes in household income and receive more rental assistance than they are entitled to under the Program regulations. Case Managers will meet with participants to review the overpayment calculation and participants may submit any additional documents or paperwork relevant to the situation at this time. At the conclusion of this meeting, participant will be required to sign an Overpayment and Repayment Agreement that states the participant has 60 days to begin reimbursing the Housing Authority. Failure to sign the Agreement may result in termination of assistance. If the payment is not made within the 60 day period, the rental assistance may be terminated. If an overpayment occurs in the future due to the tenants failure to report changes, the rental assistance may be terminated based on the amount of the overpayment. A second Repayment Agreement may be offered if the second overpayment, combined with the first overpayment, is not over $10,000. Under no circumstances, however, will a participant be offered a third Repayment Agreement. In the case of a third overpayment, rental assistance will be terminated for failure to comply with Program requirements.

B. REPAYMENT AGREEMENTS FOR PARTICIPANTS [24 CFR 982.552(c)(1)(v)(vii)]Tenants will be offered a Repayment Agreement to recover the amount owed. A Repayment Agreement is the document entered into between the Housing Authority and the participant who owes the debt. This agreement will contain the following information: 1. The reason for the overpayment. 2. The total amount of the overpayment. 3. A statement that failure to make a payment may result in termination of assistance. 4. A statement that the entire overpayment must be repaid before the participant can voluntarily move to another unit. 5. A statement that the participant must report all future changes in income and that a second violation may result in termination of assistance. 6. A statement that a third violation will result in termination of assistance. 7. Remedies available to the Housing Authority upon default of the agreement. The typical arrangement for repayment of the debt will be to offer the participant the opportunity to repay the full amount in one lump sum or to make payments in the amount of $100 per month, or other amount affordable to the participant. The monthly payments must be received by the 10th of the month in order to be considered current. The Housing Authority will not charge interest on the amount that is owed. There are situations where a tenant, who is current in making payments, would need to move to another unit before the debt is paid in full. In these instances, the Housing Authority will approve such a move if one of the following conditions is met: 1. The household size exceeds the maximum occupancy standards. 2. The Section 8 contract is terminated due to actions of the landlord. 3. The unit is declared to be uninhabitable due to a natural disaster. a payment may result in termination of a payment may result in termination of 4. A statement that the entire overpaym4.

C. LANDLORD DEBTS TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY [24 CFR 982.453(b)]If the Housing Authority determines that the landlord has retained a rental assistance payment that the landlord is not entitled to, the Housing Authority will request reimbursement. If the landlord refuses to pay, then the Housing Authority may deduct the amounts from future rental assistance payments for any other units owned by that landlord. If future payments are not sufficient to recover the amount owed, the Housing Authority will require the landlord to pay the amount in full before being allowed to participate in the Section 8 Program in the future. D. CRITERIA FOR INVESTIGATION OF SUSPECTED FRAUD AND ABUSE The Housing Authority has the expectation that participants will comply with HUD requirements, provisions of the Voucher, and other Program rules. Staff will make a diligent effort to orient and educate all households in order to avoid unintentional violations. However, the Housing Authority has a responsibility to the federal government, to the community, and to eligible households in need of housing assistance to follow up on indicators of possible fraud and abuse. Under no circumstances will the Housing Authority arbitrarily undertake an inquiry or an audit of a participant household. The Housing Authority will initiate an investigation of a participant household in the event of one or more of the following: Referrals, Complaints, or Tips. The Housing Authority will follow up on referrals from other agencies, companies or individuals which allege that a participant is in non-compliance with or is violating Program rules. Such follow-up will be made provided that the referral contains at least one item of information that is independently verifiable. The case file will be documented concerning the allegation. Internal File Review. A follow-up will be made if Housing Authority staff discovers that information in the case file is in conflict with previous file data. Information received from the household which contradicts previous information will be pursued. Verification of Documentation. A follow-up will be made if the Housing Authority receives independent verification conflicts with information in the case file. These documents may include computer matching reports from other agencies.

CHAPTER 13 COMPLAINTS AND APPEALSINTRODUCTION It is the duty of the Burbank Housing Authority to comply with all Section 8 Program regulations and to exercise a superior level of customer service. All complaints received by the Housing Authority will be taken seriously. There is an appeal process for both applicants and participants who disagree with an action, decision or inaction of the Housing Authority. This Chapter describes the policies, procedures and standards to be used when applicants or participants disagree with Housing Authority decisions. The procedures for Informal Reviews and Informal Hearings will be explained in this section. It is the policy of the Burbank Housing Authority to ensure that all households have the benefits and protections due to them under the law. A. COMPLAINTS TO THE HOUSING AUTHORITY The Housing Authority will respond promptly to complaints from applicants, participants, landlords, employees and members of the public. All complaints will be documented in the case file or in the form of a memorandum to the file. Complaints against Housing Authority staff will be referred to the Housing Specialist for initial resolution. If the Housing Specialist is unable to resolve the matter, the complaint will be forwarded to the Housing Authority Manager. If the situation still cannot be resolved, the complaint will be forwarded up the chain of command for resolution. B. INFORMAL REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR APPLICANTS [24 CFR 982.54(d)(12), 982.554] When the Housing Authority determines that an applicant is ineligible for the Program, a written notification will be mailed out that specifies the reason and the procedure for requesting an Informal Review. Housing Authority decisions that require the opportunity for an Informal Review include denial of placement on the Section 8 Applicant Waiting List or denial of a claimed preference. If the Housing Authority does not issue a Voucher to an ineligible applicant or does not allow the applicant to participate in the Program after being issued a Voucher, the applicant has the right to request an Informal Review.

CHAPTER 14 FAMILY SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR USE OF TARGETED VOUCHERS INTRODUCTION The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program was created by the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and became a mandatory requirement for the receipt of Housing Choice Voucher funding in 1993. The intention of the Program is to leverage public and private sector resources to Housing Choice Voucher participants to achieve economic independence. The FSS Program offers a financial incentive to participants through the establishment of an escrow account which becomes available to the household upon successful completion of their Contract of Participation. The original purpose of the FSS Program has been incorporated in the federal welfare reform legislation of 1996 and consequently the FSS Program is gradually being phased out of the Housing Choice Voucher Programs. The information in this Chapter refers to the FSS requirements and procedures for those tenants who have chosen to participate in the FSS Program. The minimum size of the FSS Program will be reduced over time through attrition. A. PROGRAM SIZE REQUIREMENTS [24 CFR 984.101]Each time that the Housing Authority received additional funding from HUD during the period of October 1, 1993, through October 20, 1998, it was mandated that those units be designated as FSS Certificates or Vouchers. During that time period, the Burbank Housing Authority received 50 additional Certificates and Vouchers which made the minimum FSS Program size 50. The Housing Choice Voucher regulations have been changed to state that any FSS participants who successfully complete their Contract of Participation obligations after October 21, 1998, will reduce the minimum size of the FSS Program by that number. This process will continue until FSS is phased out completely. B. CONTRACT OF PARTICIPATION In order to participate in the FSS Program, the head of household must sign a Contract of Participation. By regulation, the contract of participation is considered to be concluded when the FSS family has fulfilled all of its obligations under the contract of participation on or before the expiration of the contract term, including any extension thereof. This contract may be extended if the participant needs additional time to accomplish certain goals. The FSS Case Manager and the participant develop short term and long-term goals that need to be accomplished in order to move forward in education and work experience. The Contract specifies the tenant responsibilities and the timelines to be followed. The FSS Case Manager will provide the participant with various resources and referrals concerning education and job placement.

monitored annually to evaluate progress and to make modifications to short term goals if necessary. Contract of participation may be extended for good cause to include: (i) Circumstances beyond the control of the FSS family, as determined by the PHA or owner, such as a serious illness or involuntary loss of employment; (ii) Active pursuit of a current or additional goal that will result in furtherance of self-sufficiency during the period of the extension (e.g., completion of a college degree during which the participant is unemployed or under-employed, credit repair towards being homeownership ready, etc.) as determined by the PHA or owner or(iii) Any other circumstances that the PHA or owner determines warrants an extension, as long as the request is reasonable and the PHA or owner is consistent in its determination as to which circumstances warrant an extension. C. ESCROW ACCOUNT The financial incentive for participants to use the FSS Program is the escrow account. The Housing Authority establishes an escrow account for a participant at the time that there is an increase in the tenant portion of rent based on increased income from earnings. Although the tenant actually pays the increase in tenant rent to the landlord, the Housing Authority calculates the differential between the previous payment and the new payment to determine the amount that is credited to the escrow account every month. If the participant who successfully completes the goals established in the Contract of Participation and is employed full time (working a minimum of 32 hours a week), at the time of Contract completion the escrow account will be dispersed to the tenant. If the FSS participant requests an interim disbursement, the Housing Authority will review on a case-by-case basis. Any funds owed to the Housing Authority by the tenant would be deducted from the escrow amount first. If the participant does not successfully complete the goals and the Contract of Participation is terminated, the escrow account will be forfeited. D. PORTABILITY [24 CFR 984.306]Participants in the FSS Program may request to move under portability to another jurisdiction. The Housing Authority will approve this request provided that the landlord and tenant have mutually agreed to terminate the Housing Choice Voucher lease and contract. After the first 12 months of participation in the FSS Program, the tenant may move to another jurisdiction under portability in the same manner as other Housing Choice Voucher participants. E. TERMINATION OF CONTRACT OF PARTICIPATION The participant may decide at any time to terminate the FSS Contract of Participation and the Housing Authority will close out the escrow account at that time. The participant will continue to receive Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance as before.

Authority may terminate the FSS Contract of Participation when the participant does any of the following: 1. Fails to complete the requirements of the Contract of Participation within the term. 2. Violation of obligations under the Contract of Participation. 3. Violation of Housing Choice Voucher Program requirements. Participants who are terminated from the FSS Program have the same right to an Informal Hearing. If at any time in the future, the head of FSS household may request to participate in the FSS Program again. The Housing Authority would need to document the file to explain why it is reasonable to believe that the previous problems have been corrected and the Contract of Participation will be reinstated. F. ACTION PLAN [24 CFR 984.201]The following Action Plan for the Family Self-Sufficiency Program was originally prepared in 1993 and was submitted to HUD to demonstrate that the Burbank Housing Authority had the administrative capacity to implement the FSS Program. It describes the cooperative effort between the Burbank Housing Authority and the Verdugo Private Industry Council in providing supportive services to Housing Choice Voucher participants to become financially independent. The format of the Action Plan follows a series of questions that needed to be answered to demonstrate to HUD that the Burbank Housing Authority had addressed the various issues of concern. The numbered sections correspond to the listing of these items in the Federal Register, Volume 58, No. 101 that was dated May 27, 1993. The Burbank Housing Authority was approved to participate in the FSS Program and this Action Plan is incorporated in the Administrative Plan for reference.

FAMILY SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM ACTION PLAN November 1993 Updated March 2015 and September 2022 1. The participants in the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program administered by the Burbank Housing Authority will be taken from the Housing Choice Voucher Programs. The demographic composition of this population will reflect the characteristics of the current Program participants. The racial and ethnic breakdown of the Housing Choice Voucher Program in 1993 was 58% White, 6% Black, 2% Asian or Pacific Islander, 33% White/Hispanic, and 1% Other. As of 2022, the racial and ethnic breakdown of the Housing Choice Voucher Programs is 81% White, 5% Black, 2% Asian or Pacific Islander, and 12% Hispanic. 2. The supportive services that are required for the FSS participants include, but are not limited to, child care, transportation, education and skills assessment, remedial education, high school diploma or equivalency preparation, college education, vocational training, job training, job preparation and counseling, substance abuse treatment and counseling, homemaking and parenting skills, household management skills, money management and budgeting, grooming skills, job development and placement, social skills, health care, nutrition, legal assistance, motivation and self-esteem counseling, time management, assistance in dealing with various government agencies and mentoring. The case management approach is practiced in order to define and address the individual needs of the participant. 3. There are adequate supportive services in the community to accommodate the needs of the 50 households participating in the FSS Program. The Verdugo Private Industry Council serves as the resource center for the various supportive services for the cities of Burbank and Glendale. Participants have graduated from the program; therefore, the required figure continues to change over the years. 4. The Verdugo Private Industry Council (VPIC) is a consortium of the cities of Burbank, Glendale and La Canada/Flintridge which serves as the entity that receives federal Job Training Partnership Act funds for the Verdugo service delivery area. The VPIC coordinates various job training and Job placement activities that relate to low income people throughout the entire service delivery area. There are a number of private businesses and public agencies that have representation on the Board of Directors for the VPIC.

CHAPTER 15 ENTERPRISE INCOME VERIFICATION (EIV) SECURITY POLICY AND PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION The EIV system is intended to provide a single source of income-related data to PHAs for use in verifying the income reported by participants in the various assisted housing programs. The Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) is responsible for administering and maintaining the EIV system. A. TYPES OF UPFRONT VERIFICATION OF INCOME PROVIDED BY EIV The EIV system compares the participant income data obtained from various sources including: 1. Participant-supplied income data captured on Form HUD-50058 and maintained in the PIC databases; 2. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) data. NDNH becomes the single source for wage, unemployment insurance benefit information, and the new hire (employment) information; 3. Social Security and Supplemental Security Income from the Social Security Administration (information formerly accessed through TASS); and 4. User profile information from the PIC database. B. WHAT EIV PARTICIPANT DATA IS USED FOR EIV data is the first level in the hierarchy of income verification. The EIV data may be used in the following way: 1. To verify a participants eligibility for participation in a HUD rental assistance program and to determine the level of assistance the participant is entitled to receive; 2. No adverse action can be taken against a participant until the PHA has independently verified the EIV and the participant has been granted an opportunity to contest any adverse findings through the established grievance hearing, or other legal procedures.

Applicability The procedures in this document apply to all Burbank Housing Authority staff that access EIV data. Purpose The purpose of this document is to establish the Burbank Housing Authoritys policies and procedures to assure that the practices, controls and safeguards used by Public Housing are in compliance with the Federal laws regarding the protection of this information. Privacy Act The data provided via the EIV system will be protected to ensure that it is only used for official purposes and not disclosed in any way that would violate the privacy of the individuals represented in the system data. Privacy of data and data security for computer systems are covered by a variety of Federal laws and regulations. The Privacy Act of 1974 as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552 (a) is one such regulation. The full text of the Privacy Act can be accessed at http://www.usdoj.gov/fo is/privstat.htm. Examples of Privacy Act Violations Public Housing will not rely entirely upon staff to read and understand the Privacy Act.

A record of all users who have approved access to EIV data including the date the access was granted and the date access was terminated. F. PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS The purpose of physical safeguards is to provide barriers between unauthorized persons and documents containing private data. Confidential Participant Files All EIV data will be printed and saved in the Confidential participant file. Each participant file will be clearly labeled on the front cover as Confidential. This alerts staff that this file contains EIV data that must be protected at all times when not in use. Locking File Cabinets for Confidential Files Even though the Burbank Housing Authority has a monitored office building, persons unauthorized to view EIV data, such as maintenance staff, janitorial staff, or temporary staff, have access to the office spaces. In office settings where any staff other than the staff responsible for the participant file or their supervisor has access to the office; all Confidential Participant Files will be kept in locking file cabinets. The cabinets will be locked whenever the responsible staff leaves the workspace. Hard Copy Security Violations The Burbank Housing Authority will handle EIV data in such a manner that it does not become misplaced or available to unauthorized personnel.

Disposal of EIV Information To reduce the risk of improper destruction of EIV hard copy data and to eliminate the need for monitoring and tracking individual destruction logs, all EIV data will become part of the Confidential file. As part of the confidential file, the EIV data will be secured and disposed of like all other confidential file documents which require Privacy Act protection, in accordance with Public Housing policy and procedures and records retention procedures. Reporting Improper Disclosures Recognition, reporting and disciplinary action in response to security violations are crucial to successfully maintaining the security and privacy of the EIV system. Security Violations may include the following: 1. Disclosure of private data; 2. Attempts to access unauthorized data; and 3. Sharing of User IDs and passwords. Upon discovery of a possible improper disclosure of EIV information or another security violation by a Public Housing Employee or any other person, the individual making the observation or receiving the information should contact the Security Officer(s). The PHA Security Officer(s) will document all improper disclosures in writing on a security disclosure form providing details including who was involved, what was disclosed, how the disclosure occurred, and where it occurred. The following contacts will be made: 1. The Security Officer(s) will contact and provide the Director of Public Housing the written documentation of the security violation; 2. The Administrator or his designee will provide the HUD Field Office Public Housing Director with the written documentation; and 3. The HUD Field Office Public Housing Director upon receipt of the documentation will make a determination regarding the referral and provision of the written documentation to the Headquarters EIV Coordinator and / or EIV Security Officer(s) for further review and follow-up action.

CHAPTER 16 PANDEMIC: CONTINUING OPERATIONS PLAN (COP) INTRODUCTION HUD recommends a PHA adopt a Continuing Operations Plan (COP) to continue service uninterrupted to the community. This chapter was developed in collaboration with the Citys Emergency Operations Center (EOC) protocols. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a pandemic as the worldwide spread of a new disease. The COVID-19 pandemic is considered as the most crucial global health calamity of the century. A pandemic has a trickle down, chain reaction effect on all aspects of life. Since the threat to an organizations continuity of operations is high during a pandemic outbreak; it is important for the Burbank Housing Authority (BHA) to have a Continuing Operations Plan (COP) in place to ensure we can carry out our essential functions and services. While we may be forced to suspend some operations due to the severity of a pandemic outbreak, an effective COP can assist us in our efforts to remain operational, with the emphasis of maintaining our mission. The BHA has concluded that the following topics listed below are critical in our efforts to continue our essential functions and services while understanding that the safety and health of our tenants, landlords, and BHA staff is top priority. A. TELEWORK The purpose of telework is to support social distancing as a precautionary measure to inhibit the spread of a virus during a pandemic. The goal is to increase overall social distancing with the safety of the community in mind. When offices are temporarily closed to the public, telework allows BHA operations to continue and services to continue uninterrupted to the public. As the situation continues to evolve, staff will reassess service delivery and staffing levels following the guidance of city and local requirements. B. MODIFYING REGULAR PROCESSES The following processes will change during an emergency. Housing Quality Standard (HQS) Unit Inspections 1. Annual/Biennial Inspections a. All annual/biennial inspections will be conducted over the phone with the tenant (or family representative) and/or the landlord. 2. Initial Inspections a. BHA staff will conduct initial inspections if the unit is vacant. Staff will wear personal protective equipment such as a mask, gloves, and shoe covers. Staff will ask the tenant, building manager or landlord to refrain from coming into the unit during the inspection.

landlord must wait outside of the unit to follow social distancing requirements. b. If the unit is not vacant, the BHA will request a self-certification from the landlord to see if the unit passes HQS. BHA will confirm once inspections resume. This third-party verification will be documented in Housing Pro. 3. 24-Hour Emergency Inspections a. Emergency repairs for items which endanger health or safety must be corrected by the landlord within 24 hours of notification. 4. Quality Control (QC) Supervisory Inspections a. QC inspections will be cancelled until it is deemed by local officials to resume site visits. 5. If deficiencies are found in any type of inspection, the tenant and landlord will be sent a fail letter by United States Postal Service (USPS), mail, email, fax, Assistance Check or a phone call to the landlord will be made. Re-inspections will be conducted over the phone with the tenant, building manager or landlord. This third-party verification will be documented in Housing Pro. ANNUAL RECERTIFICATIONS 1. Staff will continue to mail out recertification paperwork via USPS mail, email, fax, and Assistance Check. 2. Tenants may return documents via USPS mail, email, fax, Assistance Check, and through a drop box, as noted in Section C, below. 3. In addition to the normal process outlined in Chapter 6, case managers will utilize the following methods to complete a recertification: a. Documents submitted; whether complete or incomplete b. Income certifications older than 120 days, as a last resort. If applicable, staff will document as to why we do not have access to current verifications (i.e. COVID-19) c. All recertifications will be completed with information provided and collected. If the paperwork is not complete, case managers may utilize information from prior recertification. d. Self-certification for income and document completion over the phone. This can be performed as a last resort. RECALCULATIONS 1. All recalculations (recalcs) will be completed in a timely manner to benefit the tenant as soon as possible. For example, the tenant or household member loses his/her job, hours are decreased, change in family composition, etc., this recalc will be a priority file. The effective date is dependent upon the timeframe when the information is submitted to the case manager. If the following months Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) have already been processed, the change will take effect the first of the following month. il it is deemed by local officials to il it is deemed by local officials to inspection, the tenant and landlord will be inspection, the tenant and landlord will be ed States Postal Service (Ued States Postal Service (USPS), mail, email, fax, SPS), mail, email, fax, landlord will be made. landlord will be made.
