DescriPtion) Finance: Council Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No. -5': CITY OF SAN BBRN~DINO - RBQUBST F~ COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Every year the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino has allocated section 8 Certificates or Vouchers for use throughout the County (including City of San Bernardino). Attached for your review is a chart showing the number of households receiving Section 8 assistance in various cities and communities within the County of San Bernardino. On several previous occasions the Mayor and Common Council authorized the Mayor to send a letter to the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino approving the allocation of additional section 8 certificates and Vouchers respectively, on behalf of the City of San Bernardino. Under the section 8 existing housing program and housing voucher program, HUD has made a preliminary commitment to the Housing Authority to allocate approximately two hundred, seventy five (275) additional vouchers to assist very low income families and senior citizens to secure affordable rental housing. The two hundred, seventy five (275) certificates will serve to alleviate a portion of the Housing Authority waiting list of approximately 8,000 applicants, on a county-wide basis, except the City of Upland. section 213 of the Housing and Community Development Act and subsequent regulations require that the Housing Authority gain approval of cooperating cities, prior to submitting its application to HUD for allocation of vouchers. The allocation of additional vouchers enables the City to remain in compliance with its goals set forth in the CDBG Housing Assistance Plan, previously approved by the Mayor and Common Council and HUD. Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the Mayor of the City of San Bernardino to send a letter to the executive director of the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino approving the allocation of additional section 8 certificates to the Housing Authority to be utilized on a proportionate basis in the City of San Bernardino. _L,~~. ~~~ Kenneth J.
