Roseville Housing Authority adopts five‑year and annual plans, highlights special vouchers and landlord incentives
Summary
The Roseville Housing Authority adopted its FY2025–26 annual plan and 2025–2030 five‑year plan and reported growth in special voucher programs, landlord incentives and project‑based voucher placements, including Foster Youth Initiative vouchers and partnerships for veterans and supportive housing.
The Roseville Housing Authority board, acting as the City Council, on April 2 adopted its annual plan for fiscal year 2025–26 and a five‑year plan covering 2025–2030 and authorized submission of both plans and related certifications to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Housing staff said the Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) continues to pursue additional vouchers and reported several recent program milestones: RHA was awarded 20 Foster Youth Initiative (FYI) vouchers in 2024 to assist transitional‑age foster youth; RHA leased 16 project‑based voucher (PBV) units at the recently completed Prospera development (listed in staff materials); the authority awarded 8 PBVs to Sunrose Apartments (with four units reserved for veterans to receive wrap‑around services); and RHA and Mercy Housing will begin leasing 8 PBV units at Pleasant Grove Apartments later in the summer.
Staff also described a landlord incentive program launched in 2023 that staff said has paid $155,000 in incentives and recruited 68 new landlords into the voucher program, enabling 48 new admissions and ports into Roseville and Rocklin. RHA reported a 94% leasing rate compared with a national average cited by staff and noted that special voucher types make up about 30% of the agency’s portfolio; staff said RHA has maintained HUD “High Performer” status for two decades.
Staff described collaborations with Project Sentinel for fair housing legal services and training, participation in a Placer County WEX (work experience) program that led to a city hire, and Family Self‑Sufficiency accomplishments (four families graduated in 2024 with $34,500 in escrow funds). The draft annual and five‑year plans were posted for a 45‑day public comment period that closed the night of the hearing; staff reported no resident advisory board or public comments had been received during the comment period.
Following the presentation, the council board adopted the resolution authorizing submission of the annual and five‑year plans and related documents to HUD. The motion passed on a roll‑call vote. Staff said the plans advance goals to expand vouchers, preserve and improve assisted housing and coordinate with regional housing authorities to streamline administration of voucher programs.
The agency presentation included a summary of the special voucher inventory and highlighted ongoing partnership opportunities with county services and nonprofit providers for supportive services to vulnerable households.
