Malia, a housing authority staff member, told commissioners the annual plan is available online for public comment. “It has to be available for public opinion for the next 45 days,” Malia said, and she confirmed the public review period was open through April 6 for the version discussed at the meeting.

Malia described the streamlined annual plan as an annual HUD submission; next year the authority will submit a five-year plan in addition to the annual plan. She summarized notable items reported in the plan: the authority’s prior move from a 120% payment standard to 110%, changes to bedroom-size occupancy policy from the prior year, and continuation of the authority’s designation as a high-performing agency for reporting and inspection timelines.

On scheduling, staff said the resolution must be submitted to HUD by April 17. Commissioners agreed to move the regular April meeting up one week so the commission could act before the submission deadline; the commission tentatively scheduled the next meeting for Monday, April 14 at 4 p.m. in Council Chambers and asked staff to confirm availability of an essential commissioner (Yolanda) before finalizing.

Malia also reminded commissioners they must complete the annual conflict-of-interest training; she said staff will provide a presentation or a link and require a signed acknowledgement. Nicole was mentioned as a likely presenter from prior years.

No formal vote on the annual plan approval was recorded at the meeting; staff requested that commissioners review the online plan during the public-comment period and said any commission action would be scheduled before the April 17 HUD submission deadline.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Davenport City HOUSING COMMISSION 03.17.2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff posted the streamlined annual PHA plan for public comment, with public review open until April 6 and an April 17 HUD submission deadline.

Malia, a staff member with the housing authority, told commissioners the training expense spike was “out of the ordinary” and linked it to multiple one-time expenses: Choice training, HUS training for a newly hired staffer and billing training. “Staff went to the Des Moines housing conference and so those are very unusual. It wouldn't be something that would be typical and it wouldn't be something that we would do annually,” Malia said.

Malia said the professional-services line exceeded its budget in the current year because the authority needed extra training while filling a vacant inspector role. She added the authority could increase that line in next year’s fiscal budget but did not anticipate the same level of spending annually.

On rent-assistance spending, Malia said the rental-assistance/utility-reimbursement account was at about 85% of its allotment at the time of the report and that the housing authority spends roughly $400,000 a month. “Of course, the city gets reimbursed for everything that they spend for rental assistance, but we do need to ensure that that money is available so we can continue making housing assistance payments,” she said. The commission was told staff has requested a budget amendment for another $1,700,000 to ensure continuity of payments.

Commissioners discussed the authority’s tools for projecting costs. Malia described a HUD-based two-year tool the authority uses monthly to estimate per-unit cost and overall monthly payout, and said staff adjust payment standards and other variables to avoid month-to-month deficits. “We determine how many vouchers are outstanding, how many people have issued vouchers that have not leased up…All these things we do to ensure that we're staying within our regulatory budget,” Malia said.

The commission moved and seconded approval of the February financial report; the chair then called for the vote and announced the report was approved. Later, Commissioner Jordan Joyce moved and the motion was seconded to approve the February utilization report; the chair called for the vote and announced it passed.

The commission also heard that training conferences described by staff are held irregularly—often annually or every other year depending on hosts and attendance—and that the authority expects to maintain data and inspection timelines that support its high-performing status.

No formal amendments to policy were made during the discussion; the approvals were recorded as routine acceptance of the financial and utilization reports.","The Davenport City Housing Commission approved its February financial and utilization reports.
