Longview housing office updates 5‑year plan, proposes occupancy, notification and fraud changes
Summary
The city’s housing office presented a HUD-required five‑year plan and proposed administrative changes including rolling foster‑youth vouchers into the regular HCV program at program end, adopting two‑persons‑per‑room occupancy guidance and changing landlord notification rules for rent increases.
Shetiva Marshall, who presented the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) five‑year plan to the council on Thursday, said the plan covers the City of Longview service area — Longview, Kilgore, Henderson, Beckville and Carthage — and governs administration of just over 1,200 vouchers.
Marshall told council the five‑year plan is HUD‑required and aims to expand affordable housing supply, promote economic mobility and strengthen operations and customer service. She outlined several discretionary administrative updates staff will implement if the council approves the resolution.
