WHEREAS, The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HOD) currently operates two rental assistance
programs commonly known as the Section 8
(Existing) 'Housing
Assistance Payments Program and the Section 8 Housing Voucher
Program, respectively; and,
WHEREAS, among the most notable differences between the
two aforementioned programs is that the Section 8 (Existing)
program contains a limit on a total rent which can be paid by
the participant while the Section 8 Voucher Program does not
have a rent limit; and,
WHEREAS, the mobilehome residents are currently only
eligible to use the Section 8 (Existing) program, but are not
eligible to use the Section 8 Voucher program; and,
WHEREAS, when a Section 8 tenant who owns his or her own
mobilehome and receives space rent assistance from HOD and has a
rent increase above the program rent limit, the resident is
forced to drop off the program because it is impossible or
financially infeasible to move his or her mobilehome to another

the Voucher Program does not have a specific rent limit: and,
WHEREAS, the Section 8 Voucher Program if it could be
used, would appear to meet the needs of mobilehome residents to
a greater extent than the section 8 program because of the
aforementioned problem with rent limitations under the section 8
program; and,
WHEREAS, inclusion of mobilehome owners for eligibility
in HOD's section 8 Voucher Program would be in the best interest
of the public to promote the general welfare of eligible lower
income residents throughout the United States.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Congressional
representatives of the San Bernardino area are hereby urged to
seek legislative amendments to Section 887 203 of the Section 8
Housing Voucher Program to 1) allow mobilehome owners who rent
spaces to participate in the U. S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development's Section 8 Voucher Program; and 2)
consideration be given to the needs of mobilehome owners in any
future or subsequent legislation addressing rental assistance
programs.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was
adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
