CI10 OF SAN BERNARDItJ) - REQUEOT FOR COUNCIL AC'QON
STAFF REPORT
Every year the Housing Authority of the County of San
Bernardino is allocated Section 8 Certificates for use
throughout the County (including 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 two-hundred (200) additional
vouchers to assist very low income families and senior
citizens to secure affordable rental housing.
The two-hundred (200) vouchers will serve to alleviate a
portion of the Housing Authority waiting list of
approximately 1,700 applicants, county wide. Housing
Authority staff advises that approximately 100 of the
vouchers will assist senior citizens.
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 alloca-
tion of additional vouchers enables the City to remain in
compliance with its goals pursuant to 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 vouchers to the Housing Authority on behalf of the
c~an Bernardino.
