Council adopts Section 8 annual plan; housing staff warns of federal proration uncertainty
Summary
The Sioux City Council approved a resolution adopting a five-year and annual plan for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program; housing staff said final HUD allocations remain uncertain and administrative fees could be prorated below 100%.
The Sioux City Council held a public hearing and voted 5–0 to adopt a five-year plan and the annual plan for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program.
Amy Tooley, housing services manager, told the council that when the plan was drafted several federal funding details were still unknown. "We do have a full year continuing resolution, but the housing authority is still waiting for their final budget. We expect to receive it mid to late May," Tooley said. She added that the housing authority anticipates some level of proration and that administrative fees were likely to be prorated "probably in the eighties as far as a percent," though exact figures remained uncertain. On the subject of voucher funding, she said, "We'll be in the hundred. Cross your fingers."
No members of the public addressed the hearing. The council closed the public hearing and adopted the plan on unanimous vote.
