Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a Subcontract Agreement between the Housing Authority of Cochise County and Community Partnership of Southern Arizona for the Hogar Housing Program effective December 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014 in a not to exceed amount of $81,116.91.
Background:
HUD recently mandated that mental health organizations who provide housing programs for Severely Mentally Ill (SMI) tenants must team up with Public Housing Authorities to administer certain parts of the housing programs. HACC will be conducting Housing Quality Standards inspections and rental integrity according to the individual's income and circumstances as well as the HUD guidelines. In addition, HACC is providing the Housing Assistance Payment which is reimbursed on a monthly basis by CPSA. CPSA is paying HACC the HUD admin fees based on the number of units leased up monthly. Mental health case managers are present during inspections.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, HACC will proceed with entering into landlord/tenant agreements and the terms of the contract.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If the board does not approve, this would jeopardize the housing of the Severely Mentally Ill (SMI) population due to the mandate by HUD that mental health agencies team up with Public Housing Authorities to administer the housing portion of the case management.
