Yolo County Housing Authority adopts 2025–2029 agency plan, capital fund plan and 2025 annual statement after public hearing
Summary
The Yolo County Housing Authority closed a 45-day public review and unanimously adopted its 2025–2029 agency plan, the 2025–2029 Capital Fund Plan and the 2025 Capital Fund Program annual statement, a requirement to receive HUD operating and capital funds.
The Yolo County Housing Authority unanimously adopted its 2025–2029 agency plan, the 2025–2029 Capital Fund Plan and the 2025 Capital Fund Program annual statement after closing a 45‑day public review period and a public hearing on March 19.
The action formalizes the agency’s strategic goals and the uses of capital funds required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive housing choice voucher, public housing operating and capital funds. Ian Evans, executive director for Yolo County Housing, told commissioners the five‑year plan and the associated documents outline core programs including public housing, the Housing Choice Voucher program (Section 8), and capital priorities such as operations, maintenance and long‑term site improvements.
Evans said the plan reflects outcomes of the authority’s 2025–2029 strategic planning process and that the agency will return next year with the first annual update to the plan. He described eligible capital uses in the plan, including drawing up to 25% of annual capital funds for operations, funding for HVAC and roof replacements, and a modest annual set‑aside for RAD (Rental Assistance Demonstration) planning and predevelopment work. Evans highlighted a planned $3 million roof and HVAC project at Riverbend Senior Manor in West Sacramento and recapped a $1.5 million waterline replacement at El Rio Via completed last year.
Evans also said the plan and associated documents were posted at public housing sites and on the authority’s website during the 45‑day review; he reported no public commenters at the hearing and that the authority had received comments from Legal Services of Northern California, which staff largely incorporated. He noted a website FAQ change clarifying that landlords who reject housing choice vouchers may be engaging in unlawful income discrimination and that staff updated site content accordingly.
Commissioners moved to close the public hearing and adopt the resolution to approve the plans; the motion passed on a roll call vote with all commissioners recorded as voting in favor.
The adopted documents will be posted on the authority’s website and the agency will track implementation and return with annual updates and a July review of any administrative‑plan changes for the Housing Choice Voucher program.
Votes at a glance: the commission voted to open and close the public hearing and adopt the 2025–2029 agency plan, the 2025–2029 Capital Fund Plan and the 2025 Capital Fund Program annual statement; the motion passed unanimously.
The authority staff said they expect to return to the commission in July with proposed administrative‑plan changes for the Housing Choice Voucher program that arose from a consultant review.
