Agency Plan
This Saint Paul PHA Agency Plan describes the programs, policies and practices that the PHA is carrying out in its current Fiscal Year, which began April 1st. In general the PHA is continuing the same course of action described in the HUD-approved plan for the previous fiscal year. This plan has proved successful over several years in meeting the needs of residents and the community, within the limits of available resources. The PHA focuses on its mission and Agency Goals, stressing sound property management, modernization and maintenance, and sound Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher administration. The PHA is also continuing its successful homeownership program for residents, and working with other community partners to address the critical shortage of affordable housing in the Twin Cities. The PHA is implementing its Five-Year and Annual Capital Fund Plan, including the major renovation of McDonough Homes.
