Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In 1982, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) was established through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the County of Sacramento and the

Page 1 of 4 ends

File ID: 2026-00369 2/17/2026
City of Sacramento (City) pursuant to California Government Code § 6500, et seq. SHRA was created to centralize and streamline housing and redevelopment efforts across both jurisdictions and currently serves as the primary administrator of federal, state, and local housing and community development programs.

SHRA operates with oversight provided by both the Board of Supervisors (Board) as the County and the Housing Authority of the County of Sacramento, and the Sacramento City Council (Council) as the City and the Housing Authority of the City of Sacramento. Each body retains authority over SHRA programs and funding decisions within its respective jurisdiction. SHRA also has an 11-member Housing Commission that serves as an advisory body for some items before they move to the Board or Council and has final decision-making authority for particular items, mostly related to Public Housing administration, that the Board and Council have delegated to this Commission. This structure was intended to ensure shared governance and equitable resource allocation.

In October of 2025, the longtime Executive Director of SHRA retired from her position and an Acting Director from within SHRA’s ranks was appointed for 30-day increments, while City and County staff were delegated the responsibility of procuring an Executive Director. The Board and Council approved shared criteria for the Executive Director search and City and County staff participated in interviews. Through multiple interviews with firms and candidates, CVR Associates, Inc. (CVR) was identified as the top firm for two contracts, with CVR Senior Vice President Kris Warren serving in the SHRA Executive Director role. Ms. Warren brings over 25 years of experience in affordable housing and public housing authority leadership, including executive roles at major housing authorities and federal housing policy positions, making her uniquely qualified to provide stability and strategic guidance during a critical period for SHRA. The Executive Director contract amount with CVR will be commensurate with the posted salary schedule for the SHRA Executive Director position.

The County and the City have worked together to select the Executive Director and upon her appointment, the County and City Executive teams will continue to work together to collaborate with the SHRA Executive Officer. In order to ensure continuity, if the contract with CVR is terminated, the resolution directs the appointment of SHRA staff to service as interim Executive Director.

City staff have also been closely coordinating with County and SHRA staff on the amendments to the Joint Powers Authority Agreement that were determined would be necessary to bring on CVR in the executive leadership role and to promote more effective oversight. The attached City Council and Housing Authority of the City of Sacramento resolutions seek approval of two recommended amendments to the JPA, included as Exhibit A to the resolutions, and Attachment 6 (redlined version) to this report that:
a) clarify that the JPA does not preclude the use of an external consultant as the Executive Director; and

Page 2 of 4 ends

File ID: 2026-00369 2/17/2026
b) SHRA must conduct an annual audit, must file and present the audit reports to the City Council and Board of Supervisors, and must provide semi-annual updates on corrective actions identified in the audit reports until any audit findings are resolved.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt the City Council and Housing Authority resolutions approving the recommended amendments to the JPA, and recommended appointment of Kris Warren of CVR Associates, Inc. to serve as the Executive Officer of SHRA.

Policy Considerations: The City of Sacramento and County of Sacramento are the two members of the SHRA joint powers authority initially formed in 1982 and therefore both parties must approve amendments to the JPA.

This action is consistent with the 2021-2029 Housing Element Policy H-7.2 Regional Coordination:

The City shall coordinate with the region and work with the Continuum of Care, Sacramento County, SHRA, and partner agencies to develop strategies that address homelessness through a shared vision, coordinated programs, and joint funding opportunities.

Economic Impacts: Not applicable.

Environmental Considerations:

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The proposed actions are administrative and fiscal activities and do not make any commitments to, or give approvals for, specific projects or activities which have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, the proposed actions do not constitute a project subject to environmental review under the CEQA per Guidelines Section 15378(b). Environmental Review for specific projects will be completed prior to any discretionary action(s) being carried out with regard to such projects.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): The proposed actions are administrative and fiscal activities and do not make any commitments to, or give approvals for, specific projects or activities and are exempt under the NEPA per 24 CFR 58.34(a)(2) and (3). Environmental Review for specific projects will be completed prior to any choice limiting action(s) being carried out with regard to such projects.

Sustainability: Not applicable.

Commission/Committee Action: On January 21, 2026, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission adopted a resolution authorizing the Acting Executive Director, or his designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the County of Sacramento for the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency to reimburse the County for costs associated with

Page 3 of 4 ends

File ID: 2026-00369 2/17/2026
CVR Associates, Inc. consulting and interim executive consulting services, in an amount not to exceed $1,097,800.

Rationale for Recommendation: An amendment to the JPA is necessary to allow a consultant in the SHRA Executive Director role. The second amendment codifies the filing and presentation of annual audit reports and spells out a reporting requirement should audit findings exist and need to be remedied.

Financial Considerations: There is no cost or impact on the City General Fund to amend the JPA.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-

Adopted by the Sacramento City Council

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO RELATING TO

THE AMENDED AND RESTATED SACRAMENTO HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT; AND APPOINTING AN

EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE SACRAMENTO HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY

BACKGROUND

A. In 1982, the City of Sacramento (City), the County of Sacramento (County), the Housing Authority of the City of Sacramento, the Housing Authority of the County of Sacramento, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Sacramento and the Redevelopment Agency of the County of Sacramento entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) establishing the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) for the primary purpose of providing staffing for the City and County Housing Authorities and Redevelopment Agencies.

B. In 1990, the JPA was amended to include devising, proposing, conducting, evaluating and administrating public social service programs.

C. In 2011, the California Legislature enacted AB 1X 26, coupled with a subsequent decision of the State Supreme Court (California Redevelopment Association et al., v.

Matosantos), resulted in the dissolution of redevelopment agencies as of February 1, 2012;

D. The County of Sacramento, by Resolution Number 2012-0051 (adopted on January 24, 2012), elected to serve as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the County and designated the Housing Authority of the County of Sacramento as the local authority to retain the housing assets and functions previously performed by the Redevelopment Agency of the County of Sacramento.

E. The City of Sacramento, by Resolution Number 2012-018 (adopted on January 31, 2012), elected to serve as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City and designated the Housing Authority of the City of Sacramento as the local authority to retain the housing assets and functions previously performed by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Sacramento.

F. Since the establishment of SHRA, the Executive Director role has historically been filled by an individual employed directly by the Agency. However, following an unanticipated leadership transition, the City and County determined that the temporary use of external

executive consulting support was appropriate to ensure continuity of operations during a transitional period, pending further organizational assessment and the appointment of an Executive Director.

G. The parties desire to amend and restate the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to 1) clarify that the Agreement does not preclude the temporary use of external consulting or advisory executive support during periods of transition, while preserving the long- standing framework under which the permanent Executive Director of the Agency is an employee of the Agency appointed pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, and 2) SHRA must retain a Certified Public Accountant to conduct an annual audit in compliance with Government Code Section 26909, generally accepted auditing standards, and 2 CFR 200, Subpart F as applicable; must file and present audit reports to the City Council and Board of Supervisors within required timeframes; and must provide semi‑annual updates on corrective actions until any audit findings are resolved.

H. The proposed action to approve and execute the amended and restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement are considered administrative and management activities. As such, this action does not constitute a project subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as provided in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).

This action is also exempt from environmental review under the National Environment al Policy Act (NEPA) per 24 CFR Section 58.34(a)(3).

I. The City of Sacramento participated in the review and selection panel for the SHRA Executive Director position, and CVR Associates, Inc., with Kris Warren, Senior Vice President serving in the SHRA Executive Officer role. Ms. Warren has 25 years of experience in affordable housing and public housing authority leadership, including executive roles at major housing authorities and federal housing policy positions, making her uniquely qualified to provide leadership, stability and strategic guidance to SHRA.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Manager is authorized to execute the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement by and among the City of Sacramento, the County of Sacramento, the Housing Authority of the City of Sacramento, and the Housing Authority of the County of Sacramento, as attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Section 2. The City Council appoints Kris Warren of CVR Associates, Inc., to serve as the Executive Director of SHRA. In the event that the County’s contract with CVR is terminated for any reason, then the City Council appoints Jim Shields, Deputy Executive Director of Business Administration as the Executive Director unless

he is no longer employed at SHRA, in which case the most senior executive level staff member at SHRA is appointed as Executive Director.

Section 3. Exhibit A is part of this Resolution.
