The Fayetteville Housing Authority board on June 26 approved a package of policy updates to keep the authority's administrative documents current with HUD guidance. The board passed Resolution 13-53 (ACOP updates), Resolution 13-54 (administrative plan updates) and Resolution 13-55 (tenant selection plan updates).

Executive Director Shonda Tapley said the updates are routine and reflect HUD regulation changes and Public and Indian Housing (PIH) notices; the authority uses a subscription technical-assistance service from Nan McKay to translate regulatory changes into policy language. Tapley said the documents are large (hundreds of pages) and updated periodically to maintain compliance.

Commissioners asked about the vendor experience and training resources. Tapley said Fayetteville Housing Authority and other PHAs have used Nan McKay services for years and that the subscription provides annual updates and guidance on tenant-selection, administrative, and ACOP policy changes. Commissioner Deutsch asked whether staff had been satisfied with the service; Tapley replied they were "very pleased" and noted specific staff training such as hearing officer training had been taken.

Each resolution was moved and seconded and passed by recorded vote; commissioners present voted "aye." Staff said the updated policies will take effect as appropriate and be made available as required by HUD and local policy.
