APPROVAL TO SUBMIT THE SECTION EIGHT
MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (SEMAP) TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD)
URECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City of Redondo Beach Housing Authority’s electronic submittal of the Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) certification to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for fiscal year 2024-2025.
UEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Redondo Beach Housing Authority (RBHA) completed a quality control review consisting of 14 key indicators designed to measure performance. As a result, the RBHA adequately administered the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) rental assistance program.
BACKGROUND
In 1998, HUD introduced the SEMAP to be submitted by Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) annually. SEMAP is a management assessment system that is used to determine the performance of the PHAs administering the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) tenant-based rental assistance program.
Under SEMAP, HUD requires a review consisting of 14 key indicators ranging from proper selection of applicants from the Section 8 waiting list, accurate verification of family income, to timely Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections. The yearly process requires PHAs to submit an electronic certification form via the HUD portal to assure that all mandatory supervisory quality control reviews have been conducted.
