She indicated the Greeley Housing Authority Board is performing a national search for the permanent executive director, who they hope to have hired within the next 60 days.

She elaborated the areas of focus in the Corrective Action Plan are staff training, HUD regulation compliance, policy and procedure updates, and proper submissions into the HUD digital systems. In addition, Ms. Gligo stated the waiting lists for public housing and Section 8 (aka HCV) have been closed to allow staff to process and update the current waitlist. She addressed this short fall, which means there are more individuals leased in the program than there is money available to support. Ms. Gligo assured no one will be taken out of the program or displaced, and the Greeley Housing Authority is working diligently with HUD to get their finances in order, be better stewards of taxpayer funds, and prevent future occurrences. Commissioner James commended Ms. Gligo and her counterpart, Dorian Jenkins, for their considerable experience brought to the Greeley Housing Authority, and instructed Shawn Walcott, Greeley Housing Authority Board Member, to provide financials and minutes to be reflected as communications items for the Commissioners' public records.
