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 March, April and May of 2022.
The Redondo Beach Housing Authority continues to operate the Section 8 Program within its available resources. On May 12, 2022, the RBHA received its Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Renewal Funding Allocation notice from HUD. The CY 2022 allocation fully funded the Redondo Beach housing assistance contracts for CY 2022. 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 4,260 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.

Status Report on the Section 8 Program
U
BACKGROUND
SSection 8 Program Activity
The Housing Authority is currently assisting 441 households under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. Of those households, approximately 324 are headed by elderly and/or disabled persons; the remaining 117 are families headed by non-elderly, non-disabled persons.
During the months of March, April, and May of 2022, the Housing Authority executed 6 new contracts. The Housing Authority also renewed 119 leases. Four (4) tenants moved out of their rent assistance units and are permanently off the program. During this reporting quarter, the Housing Authority spent $1,675,573 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 one to two vouchers per month.
The Housing Authority has resumed conducting in-person eligibility interviews for families who are on the Section 8 waiting list. There are approximately 4,260 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 30 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 is 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 May of 2022, HUD notified the Housing Authority that it would receive $6,580,684 in HAP funding for CY 2022 (this is the total funding for the HCV and VASH Program). For comparison purposes, the Housing Authority received $6,331,245 for CY 2021.
In May of 2022, HUD also provided its determination of the RBHA administrative fee. For FY 22-23, the administrative fee, subject to proration, was set at $120.59 per unit leased.
Administrative Report June 7, 2022
Status Report on the Section 8 Program
In comparison, the Housing Authority received approximately $108.66 per unit leased in CY 2021.
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. Year to date (YTD), the RBHA has received a total of 32 referrals from LAHSA and has leased 3 EHV families in Redondo Beach.
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 May 1, 2022 the VASH payment standards for RBHA were increased to 140% of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2022 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 May 1, 2022 RBHA’s payment standards for the HCV Administrative Report June 7, 2022
Status Report on the Section 8 Program
(Housing Choice Voucher Program) were increased to 95% of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2022 Small Area Fair Market Rents. Payment standards for the HCV program had been last increased in July 2020.
The following Payment Standards became effective May 1, 2022:
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 4,260 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.
Section 8 waiting list applicants that wish to check their status on the waiting list are encouraged to visit 27TUwww.waitlistcheck.comU27T or call (855) 361-9512. 90277 90278 VASH (for both Zip Codes)

May 12, 2022
Dear Executive Director:
Subject: Housing Choice Voucher Program Calendar Year (CY) 2022 Renewal Funding Allocation
The purpose of this letter is to advise public housing agencies (PHAs) of the CY 2022 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) renewal funding allocations for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP). The funding allocations described herein are based on the requirements of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, (P.L. 117-103) referred to hereafter as “the 2022 Act,” enacted on March 15, 2022. HUD is in the process of publishing the 2022 HCV Funding Implementation Notice and will notify PHAs by email when that occur. The Notice will be posted at the following link:
http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/administration/hudclips/notices/pih.
Your agency’s CY 2022 HAP renewal funding is identified at the top of the Enclosure A provided with this letter. Enclosure A sets forth the funding calculations for your PHA and provides estimated RAD 1 funding for the first full year of conversion and CY budget authority associated with tenant protection actions; the calculations are fully explained in the descriptions provided for this enclosure, and you are encouraged to review them thoroughly. Also included are Appendix I and II. Appendix I provides calculations related to the CY 2022 offset for reallocation. Appendix II provides a list of funding increments for which the PHA is receiving an additional inflation factor in CY 2022 to support increased costs since the increments were initially funded. If your agency is administering HUD Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (VASH) vouchers, the renewal of these vouchers is included in the overall renewal calculations. These vouchers are not renewed separately, other than for Moving to Work (MTW) agencies. PHAs must comply, however, with the statutory requirement that VASH vouchers may only be used to assist VASH-eligible participants, both initially and upon turnover.
The 2022 Act requires the Department to establish a new baseline for HAP funding eligibility, based on Voucher Management System (VMS) data for CY 2021 (January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021). This practice is commonly referred to as re-benchmarking. Consistent with prior years, the Department provided PHAs with the opportunity to review and update all VMS data related to the funding calculations as detailed in this letter and the enclosure. The VMS data used is the data reported by each PHA and accepted in VMS as of the end of the data review period on January 28, 2022, the same date as the December 2021 data submission deadline. There will be no further appeals or adjustments to these data items, except at the direction of the Department.
The 2022 Act provides that HUD may offset PHAs’ CY 2022 allocations based on the excess amounts of PHAs’ Restricted Net Position (RNP), including HUD-held program reserves (in accordance with VMS data in CY 2022 that is verifiable and complete), as determined by the Secretary. The Department has decided to exercise the offset for reallocation authority in CY 2022 (impacting a limited number of PHAs) but only to increase the national HAP proration to 100%. No portion of the offset will be for Shortfall Prevention. 2 For the months of January through May of 2022, your agency received HAP obligations based on an estimated CY 2022 renewal level. If your PHA has been under-obligated renewal funds through May 2022, based on the prorated funding eligibility indicated on Enclosure A (applicable only to non-MTW PHAs, MTW PHAs will receive a different eligibility enclosure), the additional amount due will be obligated in the immediate future. If your PHA has been over-obligated funds through May 2022, the June obligation will be reduced accordingly, so that your PHA is obligated the accurate amount for the year. HAP disbursements for January through May of 2022, and for the rest of the CY 2022, have and will be based on cash management procedures established in PIH Notice 2017-06.
Except for MTW PHAs, no HAP funds provided for a PHA under the 2022 Act may be used to incur in over leasing, to support prior year deficits or provide for administrative expenses, nor may they be loaned or transferred to cover other program obligations, such as Low-Rent and/or Capital Fund programs. Therefore, it is each PHA’s responsibility to retain the appropriate records to support VMS submissions for the collected periods, as they are subject to on-site review by the Quality Assurance Division (QAD). Subsequent recalculation of CY 2022 funding eligibility will occur if a QAD or other HUD review demonstrates that costs were incorrectly reported, resulting in excess funding.
Finally, it is strongly recommended that PHAs utilize the Two-Year Forecasting tool on the HUD web site, in consultation with their local HUD field office, to ensure that correct variables for the PHA are entered into the tool to arrive at the most accurate forecast to enable the PHA to maximize leasing while avoiding the need to terminate assistance to any households. The tool and instructions can be found by clicking on the following link: Two-Year Tool and Instructions.
Additionally, HAP Set-Aside funds are available in CY 2022 to address shortfalls, but in order to qualify, a PHA must have the shortfall confirmed by the Shortfall Prevention Team (SPT) and must initiate cost reduction steps. This process is detailed in the implementation notice referenced at the start of this letter.
If you have any questions concerning your CY 2022 HAP renewal funding, please contact your Financial Analyst (FA) at the Financial Management Center (FMC).
