\"We have to provide the landlord an opportunity to respond,\" Malaya said, explaining the proposed process. She said staff intend that complaints be opened and closed within 30 days where possible and that the policy will explain required documentation, the investigation steps and how the housing office will track repeat complaints against landlords.

Malaya said the draft grievance policy will be presented to the commission for formal approval once staff finish the forms and process documentation. \"When I am prepared for approval, commissioners, we will present the policy. We will present the process and we will present the forms to the housing commission,\" she said.

Separately, the commission considered a resolution supporting the authority’s 2025 annual plan, which the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires. Matt read the resolution into the record as \"Resolution 2025-04-01\" and noted the plan had been available for public comment for 45 days. The commission moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote.

Ending: The tenant grievance policy remains a draft; staff plan to bring finalized forms, process details and a proposed tracking approach back to commissioners at a future meeting. The commission signed and will forward the 2025 annual plan paperwork to HUD per federal requirements.","Staff presented a draft tenant grievance policy and administrative changes to formalize complaint handling; the commission approved a resolution supporting the Housing Choice Voucher 2025 annual plan, required by HUD, by voice vote.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6070717,"Davenport Housing staff plan targeted waitlist pulls after stabilizing funding; utilization report approved",198,629000,827000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3049967-0850d71a3da3af835ca608f8694c1565&start=629&end=827","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3049967-0850d71a3da3af835ca608f8694c1565/thumbnail_629000.jpg","/articles/6070717/Davenport-City/Scott-County/Iowa/Davenport-Housing-staff-plan-targeted-waitlist-pulls-after-stabilizing-funding-utilization-report-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6070717-eaad0a2a0fc7ec367f3213c6598f1084/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442923&Signature=mBoKBBouwZgumRdJGR0hBHqp3b9TwDTQM9dH~fjl8~rcOLHKwwmeejTK9zBaeThWdre9N3eVz4IhhrjyzU3pjB5R3JVIuRHIIAwXSwWZd9JNH13dhsXIyt-ArgUV-BjpSKjIhVqBkwd0ZKOO6yiFln1yVJUjg-87I8SdNHa-gikW6OkQf1RbaGi16J52b-5EWFvpL~p4knfy1stgyD~p8iQl9ELAqZmz8CTXUyVhgl~LWGW5WvKm1kojFq5Pz5jozW-pn36l5eLE8oW4n53l0qMNIpNiLzOkdF6BLMC~xlkYVOxxxNuGpnXwZeXClF57XN9nVKs2ecr9lcmn4mFp0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Malaya, a housing office staff member, told the Davenport Housing Commission on April 14 that the office expects to resume pulling households from the Housing Choice Voucher waitlist after stabilizing funding and reviewing caseload capacity.

\"We are looking to start pulling people from the wait list, hopefully sooner than later. We've stabilized our funding, so we don't anticipate that we'll go into a shortfall,\" Malaya said. She said the office has not pulled from the waitlist since May 2024, when the payment standard was decreased to avoid a shortfall.

Staff described a more strategic approach than the open intake drive used in 2022, when the authority received more than 1,100 applications and later found many nonresponsive applicants. Malaya said staff are considering staggered openings and targeting populations such as people 62 and older and those with disabilities so the authority can manage issuance and staff workload.

The authority reported ongoing attrition of about 22.1 percent — staff described attrition as the share of vouchers that fall off the program — and said current voucher utilization figures feed administrative funding that pays staff salaries and benefits. \"So we do need to kind of look at our numbers and decide how many we're gonna pull,\" Malaya said.

The commission moved and seconded approval of the March utilization report; the motion passed by voice vote.

Ending: Staff said they will purge the waitlist before reopening it and will present more detailed numbers and a proposed pull plan at a future meeting.","Staff told the commission they plan to resume pulling households from the Housing Choice Voucher waitlist after stabilizing funding, consider targeted openings for seniors and vulnerable groups, and monitor attrition; the commission approved the March utilization report by voice vote.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6070721,"Housing office says billing incoming portability vouchers will raise short-term HAP expenses; budget increased",397,139000,536000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3049967-0850d71a3da3af835ca608f8694c1565&start=139&end=536","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3049967-0850d71a3da3af835ca608f8694c1565/thumbnail_139000.jpg","/articles/6070721/Davenport-City/Scott-County/Iowa/Housing-office-says-billing-incoming-portability-vouchers-will-raise-short-term-HAP-expenses-budget-increased","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6070721-ed23081fded6e2ee58b0e0a35d94bf26/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442923&Signature=myDid5F6rBErWya259sXC2hBSBgb3RIZF2knRR3rRhVLm1nTzAA3vuLiC61EmUHzD6RZbu~ZsHhorxw08NXFyBOBOU7TcgXmBDDQnTJ9swr9kU19TAyPj7iJUj87VjHdclVFB8seQyfUYFvRHlWo~-u4HZ2SGs8CAURCNZItdQgBKrgZ0~zZQnA3JjRaAnezHqWeecUqkewP~r19iUEz~2RJrsrnJCZwp76t0ln5A901qJxew3pjY5V4T5ekhxrDp9VE-r6KotlKpY0kamBVCQR6WYK1jwHS0KdHtBDgAoE8CFFT2b1Chr7idk05b6359BW3W1t3hmbzNOlNwcYobQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Malaya, a housing office staff member, told the Davenport Housing Commission on April 14 that the office’s Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) expense line has risen because the authority now bills other housing agencies for vouchers that transfer into Davenport.

\"Our HAP expenses include those portability requests for transfers into the housing authority. So we pay those expenses up front and then we receive reimbursement throughout the month from the other housing authority to pay for those expenses,\" Malaya said.

The increase is a cash-flow issue rather than a net cost, staff said. Malaya told commissioners the authority pays HAP for a household when that household leases a unit under Davenport administration, then invoices the originating housing authority and receives reimbursement later. To reduce the risk of running a deficit while reimbursements are pending, staff said finance agreed to expand the HAP expense line from $30,000 to $60,000.

Commissioners pressed staff for additional detail about timing and volume. Leah, a staff member who processes portability requests, told commissioners Davenport is billing for roughly \"40, almost 40, 42, do not quote me\" transfers into the authority and that many port-ins come from rural Iowa housing authorities. Leah said Davenport is seen as an attractive option because of housing, school and transportation options.

Malaya said the office stopped absorbing port-ins several years ago after drawing down reserves and that a recent increase in the payment standard contributed to spending from those reserves. \"We will be billing moving forward for any vouchers that are transferring into this housing authority,\" she said.

Staff offered to present a fuller briefing on portability—timing of reimbursement, administrative cost impact, and how other authorities process portability checks—at a future meeting.

Ending: Commissioners scheduled follow-up briefings; the finance motion to approve the March financial report (which incorporates the HAP figures Malaya described) passed during the same meeting.","Staff told the Davenport Housing Commission that billing for vouchers transferring into Davenport has raised Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) expenses up front; staff said those costs are reimbursed later and the authority increased a line from $30,000 to $60,000 to avoid a shortfall.","actionData","errors"]
