Summary
Staff reported approximately 4,000 people across voucher and project-based waiting lists, high monthly maintenance volume (about 137 new work orders, seven emergencies closed within 48 hours) and recent capital expenses (roughly $30,000 sewer line replacement and $30,000 rooftop chiller).
At the Oct. 15 meeting staff provided management updates covering waitlists, maintenance and recent capital repairs. They reported roughly 7,744 vouchers under lease, 231 vouchers not issued, more than 1,600 people on project-based waiting lists and about 2,500 on tenant-based voucher waiting lists (about 4,000 people combined). Staff said demand is concentrated in one-bedroom units (about 764 applicants on that specific waitlist).
Maintenance activity was described as high: staff said the past month produced about 137 work orders created and about 140 closed, with eight remaining open; year-to-date work orders exceeded 1,191 and seven emergency calls were closed within 48 hours. Staff also reported recent capital repairs, noting a sewer-line replacement (about $30,000) and replacement of a rooftop chiller (about $30,000). The board approved the management reports by motion and staff will continue tracking occupancy, turnover and capital expenses.
