177: REPORT - SECTION 8 PRIORITIES AND PREFERENCES Mr. Priest
briefly reported on information submitted to the Housing Commission on
June 3, 1981, as requested by Authority Member Bay, including a copy of
preferences and priorities presently established by the Housing Authority,
an indication of the current waiting list for Section 8 housing units,
and the turnover rate for the past year, i.e. the number of new and
recycled certificates issued.
In connection therewith, the Commission heard residents from the Westwinds
Mobile Home Park express their concerns as to their request for priority
on the waiting list, due to their status as candidates for relocation due
to the imminent conversion of their mobile home park property. The
Commission agreed that in fairness to applicants already on the waiting
list, no change should be made in the preferences and priorities; however,
the Commission recommended that the City develop a series of "Shelter
Parks" for mobile homeowners displaced by zoning reclassification, and
that the City Council establish an equitable relocation policy for
mobile homeowners who are displaced, due to zoning reclassification of
the mobile home park property. He noted that there were currently 1,922
names on the waiting list, and all but seventy -four of those were Anaheim
residents.
Discussion was held by Agency Members, and Mr. Priest briefly described
the process of housing allocations for family and elderly housing, and
the requirements that family and large family housing needs must be met,
or no elderly housing is allocated. In order to give any "emergency''
priority to a group of people such as those displaced by zoning reclassi-
fication, the Agency's policy position would have to be modified, and
any applicant who fell into that type of displacement_ category would have
to be considered.
Responding to question by Mrs. Kaywood, Housing Coordinator Bertha
Chavoya reported that approximately four non- resident applicants had been
transferred to other authorities, and about nine had been accepted from
other authorities.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Authority Member Seymour moved that
on the Authority Occupancy Policy, Section II, Tenant Selection Plan,
"C. Order of Preference ", the order be changed to read as follows:
1) Families who are required to move or pay more than 25% of income
toward rent due to rehabilitation of unit or acquisition of their
property as a result of programs administered by the Neighborhood
Preservation Section of Community Development Department of the City
of Anaheim be granted preference over other categories.
2) Applicants who are residents of Anaheim or applicants who are working
or who have been notified that they have been hired to work in the
City of Anaheim.
3. Families who have been issued Certificates from another Public Housing
Authority (PHA), provided that there is a reciprocal arrangement with
the said PHA.
4, Other eligible families.
