EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a condition of continued funding for the Section 8 Program, HUD requires the Housing Authority to prepare and submit S-Year and Annual PHA (Public Housing Authority) Plans.
The S-Year Plan is intended to describe the mission of the Housing Authority, including long-range goals and objectives. The Annual Plan is intended to provide details about the Housing Authority's immedlate operations, program participants and services.
It is recommended that the Housing Authority open the public hearing, take testimony, close the public hearing, consider the 2020-2025 Five Year Plan, approve the 2022-2023 Agency Plan, and authorize the Chairman to execute the appropriate documents. ln 1998, HUD published Section 511 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (OHWRA), creating significant changes and new requirements for administration of the Section 8 Program. One requirement of QHWRA mandates that Housing Authorities prepare an Agency Five-Year and Annual Plan (generally referred to as "The Agency Plan"). lt was HUD's intent that the Five-Year portion of the Plan would describe the Housing Authority's overall mission, and that the Annual Plan would provide detailed information about the status of the Section B Program.
ln 2015, HUD issued Public and lndian Housing (PlH) notice 2015-18 and instituted a revised, streamlined Agency Plan process to reduce burdens on Housing Authorities.
Additionally, for Housing Authorities rated as "High Performers," no changes to the Annual portion of the Agency Plan are required for the four years following the initial adoption of

From: CAMERON HARDING, HOUSING ADMINISTRATOR
Subject: STATUS REPORT ON THE SECTION 8 AND FAIR HOUSING
PROGRAMS
URECOMMENDATION
Receive and file a quarterly status report on the Section 8 and Fair Housing Programs.
UEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Redondo Beach Housing Authority (RBHA) receives federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to operate the Section 8 Program. Section 8 is a rent assistance program that enables very low-income persons to live in decent, safe and sanitary, privately-owned housing. Tenants in Redondo Beach select their own rental housing per program guidelines. This report includes information regarding Housing Authority activity for the months of December 2021 and January and February 2022.
The Redondo Beach Housing Authority continues to operate the Section 8 Program within its available resources. On March 30, 2021, the RBHA received its Calendar Year (CY) 2021 Renewal Funding Allocation notice from HUD. The CY 2021 allocation fully funded the Redondo Beach housing assistance contracts for CY 2021. On August 02, 2021, RBHA received notification from the Los Angeles Community Development Authority (LACDA) of continued funding of the Homeless Incentive Program for Fiscal Year 2021-2022. The amount of funding under this agreement is not to exceed $25,917.
Consistent with HUD guidelines and current funding levels, the Housing Authority’s goal is to backfill vacant voucher slots as they become available through attrition and/or terminations. The vacant slots would be filled by families who are on the Redondo Beach Section 8 waiting list. There are approximately 4,355 families currently on the Redondo Beach Section 8 waiting list. The Housing Authority is providing referral and supportive information to renters of all types who may be under housing stress during the Pandemic.

Administrative Report March 15, 2022
Status Report on the Section 8 Program
U
BACKGROUND
SSection 8 Program Activity
The Housing Authority is currently assisting 442 households under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. Of those households, approximately 323 are headed by elderly and/or disabled persons; the remaining 119 are families headed by non-elderly, non-disabled persons.
During the months of December of 2021 and January and February of 2022, the Housing Authority executed 7 new contracts. The Housing Authority also renewed 100 leases.
Twelve (12) tenants moved out of their rent assistance units and are permanently off the program. During this reporting quarter, the Housing Authority spent $1,656,072 on housing assistance payments. The average per-unit client rent subsidy for this period was $1,272/month. The Housing Authority’s goal, as outlined in the 5-year and 1-year agency plans, is to assist an average of approximately 633 families. Attainment of this goal is affected by available units, market pricing and participating landlords.
The Housing Authority’s attrition rate is approximately two to three vouchers per month.
The Housing Authority has resumed conducting in-person and telephonic eligibility interviews for families who are on the Section 8 waiting list. There are approximately 4,355 families on the Redondo Beach Section 8 waiting list.
UHUD-VASH Vouchers
Veterans experiencing homelessness are referred to the HA by the Veteran’s Affairs office. RBHA has a total of 31 veterans housed in Redondo Beach under the HUD-VASH program. The goal of RBHA is to utilize all 40 VASH vouchers allocated to the city. The renewal of these vouchers will be included in the overall program funding for CY 2022.
USection 8 Funding
U
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) are comprised of HUD monies provided to the Redondo Beach Housing Authority for rental assistance payments made to landlords on behalf of qualifying Section 8 program participants.
In March of 2021, HUD notified the Housing Authority that it would receive $6,331,245 in HAP funding for CY 2021 (this is the total funding for the HCV and VASH Program). For comparison purposes, the Housing Authority received $6,356,065 for CY 2020.
Administrative Report March 15, 2022
Status Report on the Section 8 Program
In March of 2021, HUD also provided its determination of the RBHA administrative fee.
For FY 21-22, the administrative fee, subject to proration, was set at $108.66 per unit leased. In comparison, the Housing Authority received approximately $101.43 per unit leased in CY 2020.
As of this report, the Housing Authority has not received notice of HAP or Administrative fee funding for CY 2022 but expects notification from HUD by March 2022.
On May 10, 2021, HUD offered RBHA $419, 268 plus ongoing administrative fee funding to administer 29 Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV). EHV eligible recipients are individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness; at risk of experiencing homelessness; fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; or were recently homeless and for whom providing rental assistance will prevent the family’s homelessness or having high risk of housing instability. RBHA has partnered with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, LAHSA, for program support and family referrals. The EHV Vouchers will be administered under the City’s Housing Choice Voucher Program policies and procedures. Families accepted through the EHV program will be subject to the same criminal background and income eligibility screening as families accepted through the waiting list. Additionally, EHV families will be responsible for complying with the same program rules and federal regulations to maintain their housing assistance. On February 16, 2022, the RBHA entered into an interagency agreement with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) for the administration of the Emergency Housing Voucher Program.
Whereas voucher holders could only look for housing within the issuing Housing Authority’s jurisdiction, this interagency agreement will allow EHV voucher holders to secure housing anywhere within the Los Angeles County area where their housing voucher is accepted.
Payment Standards
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires Housing Authorities to establish a payment standard in the “basic” approvable range 90%-110% of the published fair market rent (FMR) for Los Angeles County. The basic range complies with section 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 982.503 and Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Notice 2002-20. Rental rates and rent increases continue to burden many of our low-income families that live in subsidized rental units under the Section 8 program.
In March of 2020, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) granted RBHA an exception payment standard for the HUD-VASH voucher program. Effective July 1, 2020 the VASH payment standards for RBHA were increased to 140% of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2020 Fair Market Rents. This increase in payment standard will enable veterans to competitively search and secure housing throughout Los Angeles County.

The Housing Authority reviews and updates its payment standards for the Section 8 rental assistance program on an annual basis or as needed. The payment standards are updated to reflect current rental market conditions to offer Section 8 families greater housing choices. Effective July 1, 2020 RBHA’s payment standards for the HCV (Housing Choice Voucher Program) were increased to 90% of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2020 Small Area Fair Market Rents. Payment standards for the HCV program had been last increased in January 2018.
The following Payment Standards became effective July 1, 2020:
Section 8 Staff
The Housing Authority staff consists of 3 full-time and 2 part-time personnel who manage section 8 client files, interview program candidates from the waiting list, perform housing inspections, provide customer service, and submit required information to HUD.
Section 8 Waiting List
The Section 8 waiting list has been closed to new enrollees since September 2015. This strategy is consistent with funding, the agency’s 5-year plan, and the discretionary authority granted to the Redondo Beach Housing Authority (RBHA). There are approximately 4,355 families currently on the Redondo Beach Section 8 waiting list. The goal for the waiting list is to maintain an active pool of approximately 1,000 applicants at all times. Preference on the waiting list is given to Redondo Beach residents and to persons who work in Redondo Beach. Priority is also given to the Elderly, Disabled, Families (2 or more people in a household), honorably discharged Veterans of the U.S.
Armed Forces and individuals experiencing homelessness. One of the Housing Authority’s goals is to refresh the waiting list and reopen it to attract eligible families already living or working in Redondo Beach.
