Housing authority board adopts 2026 administrative plan for Section 8 program

Pittsburg City Council · August 17, 2026

Summary

Housing Authority staff presented updates to the 2026 Administrative Plan to align with HUD guidance; the governing board opened a public hearing, heard no substantive remote testimony, and adopted the resolution unanimously.

Ayanna Barnes of the Housing Authority presented the proposed 2026 Administrative Plan for the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, emphasizing updates tied to HUD guidance, changes to income and asset calculations, interim reexaminations, household changes, and compliance with HOPMA-related terminology. Barnes said the plan "serves as a housing authority operational guide for administrating the housing choice voucher program" and recommended opening the public hearing and adopting a resolution approving the plan.

Council members asked whether changes would negatively impact current voucher recipients and how the Housing Authority will notify participants. Barnes replied, "Not at this time," and described online posting, copies by request, and planned workshops for new and continuing participants. The board opened and closed the public hearing, then voted to adopt the plan by roll call; the motion carried unanimously.
