and various housing surveys completed for Weld County. The survey demonstrates a need for
one bedroom units for elderly, disabled and handicapped families and one parent/one small
child families; two bedroom family units and three bedroom units in order to meet the needs

list . The distribution reflects the bedroom composition of our waiting list.
During the past six years we have seen a significant increase in the number of homeless
families applying for Section 8 assistance. The increase, although due in part to the
preference rule for the Section 8 program, follows the national trend of the rise

The Weld County Housing Authority has administered the HUD Section 8 Existing Program
since 1981. The executive director has administered Section 8 Programs since 1976. Since
1895 the Housing Authority has administered the Section 8 Voucher Program. The Housing
Authority currently administers a combined program of 364 units of Section 8 Exsisting
Housing.
There are no outstanding audit or management review findings. During the
implementation of our Section 8 Programs, we have achieved a certain degree of success
in placing the units under contract in a timely manner. Recent reviews of the
program have concluded that our Section 8 Program is administered in an efficient manner

E. FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CAPABILITY (continued)
consistent with program regulations.
•
Although the Housing Authority has a separate Board of Commissioners
which establishes all administrative procedures and ploicies, the Housing
Authority is officed in the Weld County Department of Social Services and
has access to all services provided by the County. In a separate agreement
with Weld County, the County provides staffing for accounting services,
computer services, printing and supplies, insurance and bonding for
commissioners and employees and legal services. We believe that this
system has allowed us to develop a relatively sophisticated management
system.
The composition of the Weld County Housing Authority Board of
Commissioners provides leadership in establishing policies which make
projects more responsive to the needs of the community.
C. NEED FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE (continued)
in homelessness in the nation. Weld County Housing Authority recognized
this need among the homeless population in 1988 by revising our administrative
plan to allow for a higher preference for the homeless family. As a
component of our point ranking system, homeless families receive additional.
points which in effect allow them to receive assistance sooner. Our
administrative plan outlines the process which dictates the issuance of
Certificates and Vouchers.
