HOUSING AUTHORITY OF MARICOPA COUNTY ADDENDUM - ADÉNDUM DE LA AUTORIDAD DE VIVIENDA DEL
CONDADO DE MARICOPA
HA-1. RESOLUTION 17-025 AUTHORIZE PARTICIPATION IN LITIGATION
Adopt Resolution No. 17-025 and authorize participation in the litigation that NAHRO and PHADA will
manage to seek recovery of underfunding in 2012 public housing operations. Participation in the litigation
requires $3,000 of non-Federal funds which is the Housing Authority’s share of the filing fee and attorney’s
fees.
On January 18, 2017, the United States Court of Federal Claims ruled that HUD, in 2012, underfunded public
housing operations for over 300 plaintiff public housing authorities in violation of their Annual Contribution
Contract and were entitled to money damages equal to the difference between the prorated eligibility
amounts and monies received. A second suit is being organized by the National Association of Housing and
Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) and the Public Housing Authority Directors Association (PHADA) on behalf
of public housing authorities who did not participate in the first round and which needs to be filed by
November 18, 2017 due to statute of limitations. The Housing Authority of Maricopa County’s share of
recovery from a successful ruling would be approximately $133,229.00. Participation in the litigation

requires $3,000 of non-Federal funds which is the Housing Authority’s share of the filing fee and attorney’s
fees. (C-66-18-008-M-00)
Motion to approve by Supervisor Chucri, seconded by Supervisor Gallardo
Ayes: Barney, Chucri, Gates, Hickman, Gallardo
