B.1 Statement of Housing Needs and Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs
1. Provide a statement addressing the housing needs of low-income, very low-income and extremely low-income families
According to the Maricopa Urban County 2015-2020 Five Year Consolidated Plan, many Maricopa County residents pay more
than 50% of their income on housing and utilities.
Of the 23,471 extremely low- income renting households… It is estimated that a total of 42,395 households (6% of all
households within the Urban County) are households
15% are elderly earning less than 30% of the median income. 92% of
38% are small households HAMC public housing applicants and 82% of the HCV
applicants are at or below this income level. The table
15% are large households
below describes the type of households facing housing
32% are one-person households
issues at 30% of the median income.
Of the 24,679 very low-income renting households… It is estimated that a total of 46,510 households or 6.5% of
all households in HAMC’s jurisdiction are comprised of
23% are elderly households earning between 31 to 50% of the median
34% are small households income with housing problems of some sort. 6% of HAMC
public housing applicants and 12% of the HCV applicants
11% are large households
are at or below 50% of the median area income level. The
32% are one-person households
table below describes the type of households that were
facing housing issues at 50% of the median income.
Of the 29,546 low-income renting households… It is estimated that a total of 64,280 households or 9% of
households in HAMC’s jurisdiction are comprised of
15% are elderly households earning 51% to 80% of the median income
39% are small households with housing problems of some sort. This group makes up
9% are large households only 1% of HAMC’s public housing applicants and 6% of
37%are one-person households HCV applicants on HAMC’s current waitlist. The table
below describes the type of households that were facing
housing issues at 80% of the median income.
HAMC’s mission is to improve the quality of life of families and strengthen communities by developing and sustaining
affordable housing programs, and an important strategic priority for the Agency is to increase housing options in underserved
communities and to maintain the affordability and subsidy for each HAMC property. HAMC will accomplish all of this by:
 Serving in the County’s efforts to end chronic homelessness
 Exploring options for mixed income communities throughout Maricopa County jurisdiction
 Investigating the availability of VASH voucher funding or the viability of establishing a veterans housing program
 Repositioning and repurposing existing portfolio for supportive or affordable housing options
 Exploring the creation of a home ownership program
 Creating and implementing redevelopment strategies for the entire HAMC portfolio
 Applying for all opportunities to grow rental assistance programming
 Diversifying affordable housing options in high opportunity neighborhoods
 Applying for Moving to Work (MTW) designation
 Applying for grants that would provide additional supportive services to HAMC program participants
 Applying for grants that would provide additional housing opportunities to Maricopa County residents

3. Provide a description of the PHA’s strategy for addressing the housing needs of families in the jurisdiction and on the
waiting list in the upcoming year. (24 CFR §903.7(a)(2)(ii))
When it comes to strong, safe, and healthy communities, lower cost rental housing is particularly scarce. A recent survey
conducted in the Maricopa HOME Consortium shows significant waiting lists in effect for federal rental assistance programs.
Many in the community await assistance from HAMC. Currently there are 805 families on the HAMC Public Housing waitlist and
8288 families on Housing Choice Voucher waitlists.
Homeless programming – HAMC has developed and implemented a program to use the HCV Program to house homeless
families and individuals through the use of a portion of its attrition. It is designed to support local Maricopa County homeless
strategies, and to date has housed 11 families. HAMC’s Public Housing program through its Homeless waitlist preference
housed 2 in 2016 and 45 to date.
Homeownership programming – HAMC may seek to evaluate the current stock of single-family homes for inclusion in a
homeownership program and partnering with non-profit community groups who provide pre-purchase and down payment
assistance for affordable homeownership.
Community Reentry programming -- HAMC will review the feasibility of participating in a program to house women recently
released from prison.

B.1 Deconcentration and Other Policies that Govern Eligibility, Selection, and Admissions
Deconcentration Policy
The PHA will monitor its admissions to ensure that at least 40 percent (40%) of families admitted to public housing in each fiscal
year shall have incomes that do not exceed thirty percent (30%) of area median income of the PHA’s jurisdiction. Hereafter,
families whose incomes do not exceed 30% of area median income will be referred to as “extremely low income families”.
The PHA shall have the discretion, at least annually, to exercise the “fungibility” provision of the QHWRA by admitting less than
40 percent of “extremely low income families” to public housing in a fiscal year, to the extent that admissions of extremely low
income families to the PHA’s voucher program during a PHA fiscal year exceeds the 75 percent minimum targeting requirement
for the PHA’s Section 8 Voucher Program. This fungibility provision discretion by the PHA is also reflected in the PHA’s
Administrative Plan.
The fungibility credits will be used to drop the annual requirement below 40 percent of admissions to public housing for
extremely low income families by the lowest of the following amounts:
1. The number of units equal to 10 percent (10%) of the number of newly available vouchers in the fiscal year; or
2. The number of public housing units that 1) are in public housing projects located in census tracts having a poverty
rate of 30% or more, and 2) are made available for occupancy by and actually occupied in that year by, families other
than extremely low-income families.
The Fungibility Floor
Regardless of the above two amounts, in a fiscal year, at least 30% of the PHA’s admissions to public housing will be to
extremely low-income families. The fungibility floor is the number of units that cause the PHA’s overall requirement for
housing extremely low-income families to drop to 30% of its newly available units.
Fungibility shall only be utilized if the PHA is anticipated to fall short of its 40% goal for new admissions to public housing.
Low Income Family Admissions
Once the PHA has met the 40% targeted income requirement for new admissions of extremely low-income families, the PHA
will fill the remainder of its new admission units with families whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the HUD approved area
median income.
Eligibility, Selection and Admissions
The Public Housing program adopted the Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act (form HUD-5380).
The Notice informs applicants and tenants of the protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking.
References to criminal arrests was removed from screening criteria for admission into the Public Housing Program.
_______
12

Public Housing Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy implemented the following policy changes due to regulatory
updates
Mixed Family Rents
HUD regulations prohibit assistance to ineligible family members. A mixed family is one that includes at least one U.S. citizen or
eligible immigrant and any number of ineligible family members. HAMC must prorate the assistance provided to a mixed
family. To do this, HAMC must:
(1) Determine the Total tenant payment in accordance with 24 CFR 5.628. Annual income includes income of all family
members, including any family member who has not established eligible immigration status.
(2) Family maximum rent is equal to the applicable flat rent for the unit size to be occupied by the family.
(3) Divide the family maximum subsidy by the number of persons in the family (all household members) to determine the
maximum subsidy per each family member who has citizenship or eligible immigration status (eligible household member).
The subsidy per eligible family member is “member maximum subsidy.”
(4) Divide the family maximum subsidy by the number of persons in the family (all household members) to determine the
maximum subsidy per household member who has citizenship or eligible immigration status (“eligible household
member”). The subsidy per eligible family member is the “member maximum subsidy”.
(5) Multiply the member maximum subsidy by the number of family members who have citizenship or eligible immigration
status (eligible household members). The product of this calculation is the “eligible subsidy”.
(6) The mixed family TTP is the maximum rent minus the amount of the eligible subsidy.
(7) Subtract any applicable utility allowance from the mixed family TTP. The result of this calculation is the mixed family
tenant rent.
When the mixed family’s TTP is greater than the maximum rent, HAMC must use the TTP as the mixed family TTP.
Revised public housing prorated rents will be applied to a family’s rent calculation at the first annual re-certification after the
revision is adopted.
Earned Income Disallowance
The EID has a two year (24-month) lifetime maximum. The two year eligibility period begins at the same time that the initial
exclusion period begins and ends 24 months later. The one-time eligibility for the EID applies even if the eligible individual
begins to receive assistance from another housing agency, if the individual moves between public housing and Section 8
assistance, or if there are breaks in assistance.
During the 24-month eligibility period, HAMC will conduct an interim re-certification each time there is a change in the family
member’s annual income that affects or is affected by the EID (e.g., when the family member’s income falls to a level at or
below his/her pre-qualifying income, when one of the exclusion periods ends, and at the end of the lifetime maximum eligibility
period).
Even if the full 24 months of disallowance (12 months of full disallowance plus 12 months of 50% disallowance) have not been
used, the EID will terminate 24 months from the date when the resident first qualified for the EID.
Arrest Records in Determining Eligibility
The fact that an applicant or tenant was arrested for a disqualifying offense shall not be treated or regarded as proof that the
applicant or tenant engaged in a disqualifying criminal activity. The arrest may, however, trigger an investigation to determine
whether the applicant or tenant actually engaged in the disqualifying criminal activity. As part of its investigation, HAMC may
13

obtain the police report associated with the arrest and consider the reported circumstances of the arrest. HAMC may also
consider any statements made by witnesses or the applicant or tenant not included in the police report; whether criminal
charges were filed; whether, if filed, criminal charges were abandoned, dismissed, not prosecuted, or ultimately resulted in an
acquittal; and any other evidence relevant to determining whether or not the applicant or tenant engaged in disqualifying
activity.
Extension for submission of Social Security Numbers
An applicant family with a child under the age of 6 years may become a participant family, even if the SSN for the child has not
been verified at the time of admission. If the SSN has still not been verified at the end of the initial 90-day period, then the
HAMC must determine whether a 90-day extension is merited. If it is not merited, then the HAMC must follow the provisions
of 24 CFR 5.218. If a 90-day extension is merited, then HAMC must either verify the SSN for the child by the end of the 90-day
extension period or follow the provisions of 24 CFR 5.218 regarding termination of assistance/tenancy.
Updated Definition of Extremely Low Income
Extremely low-income family. A family whose annual income does not exceed the higher of 30 percent of the area median
income or the federal poverty level for the area, adjusted for family size.

B.1 Rent Determination
HCV Administrative Policy Chapter 10.5 Payment Standards for the Voucher Program
The Payment Standard is used to calculate the housing assistance payment for a family and is based on Fair Market Rents (FMR)
published by HUD on an annual basis. Maricopa County is included in the Phoenix Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMA) Fair Market
Rents.
HAMC will maintain the payment standards at a minimum of 90% and a maximum of 110% of the published FMR. HAMC will
review and analyze the payment standards on an annual basis but will not revise the payment standards each year when the new
FMR’s are published if the current payment standards remain at a minimum of 90% and a maximum of 100% of the newly
published FMR’s.
When reviewing the payment standard on an annual basis, HAMC will consider the available budget authority and determine if a
reduction in payment standards is needed including an amount below 90% of the published FMR, to assist a maximum number
of households up to HAMC’s baseline allocation. If it is determined that payment standards below 90% of FMR is needed, a
waiver will be secured from HUD with corresponding justification.
Case by case reviews of a higher payment standard will be considered as a reasonable accommodation for a family that includes
a person with disabilities. If appropriate, HAMC will approve a payment standard up to 120% of the FMR.

the use of HUD‐5383 form for requesting the transfer. All applicants and tenants are being required to sign the
Notice of Occupancy Rights under the violence Against Women Act.
HAMC also incorporated these polices at the HAMC managed sites, Maricopa Revitalization and Rose Terrace
Apartments I and II.
17

B.1 Asset Management
HAMC converted all public housing and fee managed sites to smoke free housing. The conversion process included resident
meetings and the distribution of educational materials.
The RAD conversion of the 40 units of public housing at Rose Terrace Apartments and 13 units at Maricopa Revitalization to
Project Based Vouchers (PBV) is expected to close in February, 2017. The balance of the public housing portfolio is in various
stages with the balance of the portfolio transitioning to Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA).
The RAD conversion of Madison Heights (143 units) has been completed. The conversion included the relocation of the
households at Norton Circle and Watson Homes to the new site. HAMC is currently working to obtain the release of the
Declarations of Trust for the two properties from HUD. Upon the release, HAMC will be able to provide the communities with
additional affordable rental housing options.
Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA)
In October 2016, HUD published initial implementation guidance for HOTMA, and a few of the HOTMA provisions became effective.
 Reasonable accommodation payment standards. HOTMA allows PHAs to establish a payment standard of up to 120 percent of fair
market rent (FMR) without HUD approval as a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability. Because the streamlining
rule previously provided PHAs with this flexibility, no action is required to implement this provision.
 Establishment of FMR. This provision changes how HUD publishes FMRs and the procedures for comment and requests for
reevaluation. Additionally, HOTMA provides that in the housing choice voucher (HCV) program, no PHA is required as a result of a
reduction in the FMR to reduce the payment standard of a family continuing to reside in a unit under HAP contract at the time the
FMR was reduced. Should PHAs choose to use the higher payment standard for the family’s subsidy calculation, this must be
specified in the administrative plan. HUD’s FMRs for 2017 already reflect the new procedures, and HUD will issue additional
guidance with regards to payment standards in the future.
 Family Unification Program (FUP) for children aging out of foster care. HOTMA revises the length of the term that an FUP‐eligible
youth may receive FUP assistance from 18 to 36 months, in addition to revising the eligibility requirements for FUP‐eligible youth.
Changes to the FUP program were effective upon implementation of HOTMA and PHAs were made aware of the new provision by
means of a letter to FUP PHA executive directors on August 29, 2016. Further details can be found in today’s guidance.
 Preference for United States citizens or nationals. This section applies to Guam only. The provisions were effective upon enactment
of HOTMA and the details can be found within today’s guidance.
 Exception to PHA resident board member requirement. Certain jurisdictions, as specified in the guidance, are excepted from the
resident board member requirement. While effective upon implementation of HOTMA, this exception has already been effective for
a number of years through various appropriations acts.
The guidance also identified provisions not effective until HUD subsequently issues an implementation notice or regulation.
 Changes regarding initial inspections in HCV units
 Changes on the enforcement of housing quality standards (HQS) in HCV units
 Changes regarding the frequency of income reviews
 Changes on income reviews in project‐based housing, in addition to changes on project‐based assistance in general
 Limitations on public housing tenancy for over‐income families
 Limitations on eligibility for assistance based on assets
 Changes regarding PHA‐owned units
 Revisions to requirements regarding the public housing capital and operating funds
 Changes regarding the use of vouchers for manufactured housing

B.2 Demolition and/or Disposition
HAMC has two Public Housing Properties converted under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. The RAD
conversion included replacing the old public housing units with newly constructed units on a new site. The residents of these
two sites were relocated to the new units, therefore leaving the properties vacant. As part of the RAD program the HUD
Declaration of Trusts (DOTs) will be removed from the properties. Once the DOTs are removed the sites are no longer under
the public housing restrictions.
The plan is to re-purpose the properties as affordable rental housing units with below market rents. The rents are anticipated
to be 15-20 percent below the surrounding market rents.
The properties include Norton Circle in Avondale with 46 units and Watson Homes in Buckeye with 20 units.
HAMC will manage and operate the two properties as affordable rental housing units per the RAD Use Agreement. HAMC may
elect to dispose the properties per the RAD Use Agreement.
22

B.2 Conversion of Public Housing to Project Based Assistance under RAD (Portfolio Conversion Summary)
HAMC’s Board of Commissioners approved application to HUD to convert its public housing and portfolio under the RAD program
to project‐based assistance on December 11, 2013. HAMC’s application to convert 461 public housing units ‐‐ the balance of its
portfolio ‐‐ was accepted and issued Commitments to Enter into Housing Assistance Payment Contracts on March 27, 2015.
Because of this, HAMC will be converting its Public Housing to Project Based Vouchers (PBV) and Project Based Rental Assistance
(PRBA) under the guidelines of PIH Notice 2012‐32, REV‐1 and any successor Notices.
Upon conversion to PBV and PBRA, HAMC will adopt the resident rights, participation, waiting list, and grievance procedures
listed in Section 1.6C and 1.6 D of PIH Notice 2012‐32, REV‐1 as it pertains to PBV, and Section 1.7B and 1.7C of PIH Notice 2012‐
32, REV‐1.
The RAD conversion complies with all applicable site selection and neighborhood reviews standards and that all appropriate
procedures have been followed. HAMC is compliant with all fair housing and civil rights requirements. HAMC is not presently
subject to a Voluntary Compliance Agreement, consent order, consent decree, final judicial ruling or administrative ruling that
has any relation to or impact on the planned RAD conversion.
RAD was designed by HUD to assist in addressing the capital needs of public housing by providing HAMC with access to private
sources of capital to repair and preserve its affordable housing assets. Upon conversion, HAMC’s Capital Fund budget will be
reduced by the pro rata share of Public Housing Developments converted as part of the Demonstration, and HAMC may also
borrow funds to address capital needs. HAMC will also be contributing Operating Reserves in the estimated amount of
$3,300,000 and Capital Funds in the estimated amount of $1,000,000 towards the conversion. Current and future Capital Fund
Program Grants Budgets will be reduced because of RAD conversions. Full conversion of the HAMC portfolio to PBV or PBRA will
eliminate the Capital Fund Program. Ten Physical Needs Assessment (PNAs) have been completed by a third consulting party,
each one of these assessments outlines capital needs and 20‐year replacement schedule.
HAMC currently has debt under an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) and will be exiting this contract over the next few months
to enable all properties to transition to the RAD Program. Exiting terms and payout amounts are being negotiated with lender
and energy consultants.

B.2 Project Based Vouchers
HAMC submitted a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit application to the Arizona Department of Housing for the development of a
Mesa, Arizona 60-unit new construction project known as “The Residences at Temple Groves” as co-developers with Gorman
and Company. This site would make an ideal location for a LIHTC-financed development with HAMC Project Based Vouchers
(PBV). HAMC would seek 80% of the units (48) be PBV.
HAMC may work with non-profit partners to administer Project Based Vouchers.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY
2016-001 General Ledger Maintenance
Condition: Financial information relating primarily to the HCV portability accounts and interprogram balances and transactions
were not recorded appropriately and/or reconciled in a timely basis.
Criteria: Adequate internal controls require accurate recording and periodic reconciliation of general ledger activity to ensure
accurate financial reporting and the safeguard of funds.
Cause: Significant employee turnover in the finance department combined with insufficient knowledge of industry standard
financial management and reporting requirements.
Effect or Potential Effect: Significant yearend reconciliation and adjustments were necessary to report accurate financial
statements. Potentially adverse repercussions from HUD due to significant differences in reported yearend results.
Recommendation: We recommend that financial activity be reconciled on a periodic basis to ensure accurate and timely
financial reporting. Further, additional month end financial closing procedures should be designated and implemented to
incorporate the review of interprogram balances and transactions for appropriateness and purpose.
Corrective Action/Actions Taken: HAMC has fully implemented a review and reconciliation of all balance sheet accounts
monthly, additionally, trainings and technical assistance has been obtained to accelerate and address the agency’s learning
curve for newer staff.
Target Completion Date: Complete, corrective action has been taken and HAMC has fully implemented a review and
reconciliation of all balance sheet accounts monthly as part of its month-end close.

B.5 Progress Report
The Mission of the Housing Authority of Maricopa County is to improve the quality of life of families and strengthen
communities by developing and sustaining affordable housing programs; and to become a leading housing authority by
exemplifying best practices, offering innovative affordable housing programs, and expanding accessibility throughout Maricopa
County. HAMC’s progress in meeting its Mission and Goals:
Increase opportunities for our residents to move beyond their housing needs towards self‐sufficiency.
HAMC has built partnerships with other local government and nonprofit agencies to increase services and resources
available to HAMC residents and HCV voucher holders to move towards personal development, education, and
employability. Of note, HAMC has created linkages to Maricopa County Human Services DepartmePromnt programming allowing
HAMC residents and voucher holders to improve their credit scores, obtain GED certificates, attend college, earn
workforce/technology certificates, increase wage based incomes, and reduce reliance on welfare assistance. Elderly and
disabled families benefit from these partnerships through improved access to programming such as SAIL case management
and personal care and home health assistance. The same services are offered to Public Housing residents and Housing
Choice Voucher participants by Maricopa County Human Services Department.
The relationship with Maricopa County Human Services has been expanded to include the RAD Conversions. The two
properties already converted Coffelt and Madison Heights will have access to resident services provided by Maricopa County
Human Services. The services will include workforce connection, training/education, access to head start, referrals for
assistance from Community Action Agencies and senior programming.
HAMC added two new partnerships: CPLC Chase Bank Homeownership and Consumer Education to serve West Valley
communities. The second partnership added was New Leaf Financial Opportunity Center (FOC) to serve East Valley families.
Services through these new partnerships are provided to both PH and HCV residents. CPLC/Chase partnership resulted in 96
households identified for participation. Participants meet required pre‐qualifying criteria of $25k or more from work
earnings to participate. Completed the first CPLC/Chase Bank workshop session with 26 participants attending. New Leaf
Financial Opportunity Center Partnership was developed and 25 residents are to be served under this program. 4 residents
have enrolled and have completed 2 of 5 sessions required for the program.
Increase housing options in underserved communities.
HAMC created partnerships with homeless providers to lease up public housing units designated for homeless individuals
and families. HAMC’s Public Housing Program has housed over 45 homeless households since the implementation of the
homeless preference to the waitlist.
HAMC piloted a housing initiative to expand the supply of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) in Arizona for individuals
with serious mental illness enrolled in the public behavioral health system. The new initiative is a tenant‐based rental
assistance program with basic policies similar to the federal HCV Program. This initiative will provide SMI clients with more
housing choices and the flexibility to select a unit and neighborhood that meets their specific needs and preferences. This
program is designed as a “bridge subsidy” to help individuals eventually access HUD Housing Choice Vouchers. In 2016, the
program was doubled from 50 to 100. HAMC has successfully leased and assisted 73 individuals through the Bridge Program
and have approximately 27 individuals still out searching for eligible units.
All HAMC properties, through HUD’s RAD program, will convert to Section 8 rental assistance and will undergo rehabilitation
and/or redevelopment as outlined in Conversion of Public Housing to Project‐Based Assistance under RAD section of this
document. The redevelopment of two of HAMC’s largest properties is imminent. Construction started in October 2015 on
the new Madison Heights in Avondale. The property will have 143 units of Project Based Rental Assistance. The Coffelt
property is scheduled to close in April 2016. Each HAMC site is undergoing a thorough Physical Needs Assessment. Upon
completion, a long‐term improvement plan will be developed for each HAMC property.
Effective in 2016 all public housing sites went smoke free.

Promote employee growth and build organizational capacity in support of the agency becoming a High Performer.
HAMC was again officially designated a High Performing agency. This is the second consecutive year HAMC has been High
Performer and submitted a SEMAP certification with zero Corrective Actions identified.
One strategy HAMC employed to promote organizational growth and build capacity is through the cultivation of
partnerships with community agencies and other industry organizations as a resource for information and industry trends.
To that end, HAMC’s Executive Director was elected Vice President of the Arizona Housing Directors Association. She also
serves as a board member of the Arizona Housing Alliance and Arizona Multihousing Association. All these organizations
provide industry updates on the local, state and federal level, and this information is shared with staff.
In an effort to prepare HAMC workforce to be competitive in the housing industry, Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA)
training scheduled in October 2016 was attended by Administrator, Asset Manager, and affected property managers and
assistant managers.
RAD PBV training and certification was obtained by HCV Supervisor, and PBV housing specialist, and East Valley property
manager. An additional RAD PBV class was brought in‐house and all HCV staff and PH Property Managers were in
attendance.
RAD and Financial Management training for Management and Finance staff was attended in November 2016.
HAMC has agreed to pilot HUD’s new inspection protocol called UPCS‐V. This new protocol will enhance the consistency and
objectivity of the inspection process, and will provide more information about the condition of individual housing units.
Through this initiative, HUD aims to clarify and streamline inspection processes for housing authorities and inspectors while
increasing owners’ and tenants’ access to detailed information about their homes in a national database. The HCV
Inspections Department is on track to work side by side with HUD on their pilot program for UPCSV where they will receive
hands on training from HUD staff.
Emphasize organizational performance and results by being responsive to our customers.
2016 Single Audit resulted in an Unmodified audit opine (the best audit opinion that can be obtained). This allows HAMC to
remain competitive when applying for grants from sources that may have discounted our reputation/efforts due to previous
year’s findings. Also increases our confidence and the confidence from Maricopa County, investors, partners, HUD and other
stakeholders. There were no findings or major adjustments to the Mixed Financed audits which allows us to remain in
compliance with investors and banks, improves our reputation and supports our capacity as property managers and elevates
the vote of confidence when proposing a restructure or early exit
HAMC desires to provide customers additional forums for allowing HAMC to respond to their concerns and needs, and as a
result of that desire, 2016 accomplishments include:
Information: The website was upgraded for improved accessibility for those who are sight‐impaired and those with Limited
English Proficiency.
Services: Waitlist applications for both the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs are received both online
and by telephone.
Money: HAMC realized savings through a new postcard and web‐based waitlist interest confirmation process, and was able
to efficiently refresh our waitlist with interested applicants and save time, materials, and labor in comparison to the previous
process.

B.6 Resident Advisory Board Comments
2017 Annual Agency Plan Resident Meetings
HAMC facilitated local area meetings to address the required US Department of Housing and Urban Development mandate that
the PHA coordinate an annual process, providing opportunity for Public Housing Residents to review and give their input to the
PHA (HAMC) concerning the agency plan.
HAMC facilitated the Annual Plan process which included:
 Formal meetings with staff and residents to discuss community accomplishments, current issues, and to solicit ideas and
solutions for their local communities as part of the Annual Plan Input process.
 Discuss HAMC services and improvements completed within the past year.
 Discuss and solicit input on progress made toward the accomplishment of previous year recommendations and actions
requested by the residents.
 An update on the RAD conversions since the last resident meetings held in September 2016.
 Solicit input on new perspectives and suggestions from resident participants on future actions and improvements desired
for their community.
Meeting Notices and Community Meeting Schedules were distributed and posted at the local public housing properties.
Although agenda content was common for all meetings, dialogue and feedback from residents was specific and distinct for each
community and individualized local input was able to be gathered and assessed. Staff who attended the meeting provided
responses and information to questions from residents. The local Property Manager served as the meeting facilitator and
recorder.
