On March 19, 2026, the Orange County Housing Authority Advisory Board voted unanimously to approve revisions to its Administrative Plan while excluding a proposed change to the waitlist.
The board discussed several items tied to the Project-Based Voucher program, including language for construction/rehabilitated properties, a draft award letter that will require board approval at a future meeting, a proposed repayment agreement, and an item described as a "failure to enter" policy. Members also discussed portability denials handled by OCHA staff. Board member Richards asked specifically what harm would come to people who remain on the waitlist if the changes proceed; the transcript records that question but no vote on the waitlist change was taken.
Board member McCalla moved to approve the Administrative Plan changes with the exception of any waitlist modifications. Miles seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Next steps include finalizing the award-letter language and any repayment agreement terms and bringing them back to the board for formal approval. The meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
