Executive Summary of the Annual PHA Plan [24 CFR Part 903.7 9(r)] Provide a brief overview of the information in the Annual Plan,including highlights of major initiatives and discretionary policies the PHA has included in the Annual Plan. The Annual Plan of the Weld County Housing Authority seeks to address the most significant housing issue in Weld County—the lack of affordable housing. The Section 8 Certificate and Voucher Programs (soon to be merged into the Section 8 Voucher Program) offer rental assistance to eligible families. The program addresses the needs of the working poor as well as offering an incentive to work, as applicants on the waiting list receive a priority for maintaining employment. Section 8 Vouchers are portable anywhere in the United States, so program participants are not restricted in their choice of where to live. This flexibility also addresses the issue of deconcentration of poverty. As is not uncommon, the increase in the cost of housing exceeds the increase in wages in Weld County. This situation is not expected to improve in the near future. This plan will reviewed and modified on an annual basics to meet the needs of Weld County.

Attachment 1: Admissions Policy for Deconcentration The Weld County Housing Authority operates a Section 8 program that is comprised of 157 Certificates and 225 Vouchers. Certificate and Voucher holders are encouraged to find housing in any area that suites their needs. Portability is an option for every Section 8 participant and is not discouraged. In addition, landlords and property owners from all areas are encouraged to participate in the Section 8 program. Owner information packets are available to educate owners. PHA staff follows current regulations to inform landlords of tenants' former rental history. Clients are educated as well. During the initial briefmg, the Occupancy Specialist discusses issues of how to approach landlords, the importance of good references and maintaining their rental unit in good condition. The goal of owner/tenant education is to promote the Section 8 Program in all areas of Weld County as opposed to concentrated groups of low-income tenants. In addition, the educational component seeks to encourage responsible participation of the part of Section 8 tenants in efforts to provide a wide base of owner participation, thus not limiting housing choices to areas of poverty concentration. Attachment B: Capital Fund Program Annual Statement Weld County Housing Authority does not own property. All property and equipment is owned by the City of Greeley housing Authority.
