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.

Draft Plans

Each year in July the PHA starts updating its Agency Plan for the fiscal year which begins the following April 1st. PHA staff reviews the plan with the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) and representatives from housing advocacy organizations like SMRLS (Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services, Inc.) and CSP (Community Stabilization Project). The draft is released for public review and comment around October 1st and a public hearing on the Plan is held in mid-November. The draft of the Agency Plan for the next fiscal year is posted here when it is available (click on the link below). Written comments about the draft plan may be submitted before the hearing to the PHA, Attention: Al Hester, Housing Policy Director, W. Andrew Boss Building, 555 North Wabasha St., Suite 400, St. Paul MN 55102-1017.

This year's public hearing was held on November 17. At the hearing staff summarized the proposed Plan update for the PHA's next fiscal year (FY 2013) which begins April 1, 2012. The Plan includes the PHA's application to HUD for a Capital Fund Program (CFP) grant for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2012. Since Congress has not approved the HUD Appropriations bill for next year yet, the amount the PHA will receive from the Capital Fund is unknown. Staff drafted the application based on an estimated grant of $6.5 million, the same as this year's CFP grant. The Agency Plan this year includes the Annual Plan and the CFP evaluation reports for the active grants, and a CFP Five Year Action Plan.

The PHA's Board of Commissioners will be asked to approve the draft Plan at its regular business meeting on December 21, 2011. The Plan will be submitted to HUD by January 15, 2012.
