The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires non-qualified Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to submit an Annual Plan at least 75 days prior to the start of each fiscal year. The Annual Plan outlines the Agency’s mission, goals, and objectives, and incorporates provisions addressing violence against women, consistent with the Five-Year Plan.

The mission of the City of Hawthorne Housing Agency is to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing for very low-income families while managing resources efficiently. The Agency is committed to promoting personal, economic, and social mobility, with the goal of supporting families in transitioning from subsidized to non-subsidized housing.

During the current reporting period, the Agency approved thirty-three (33) new property owners for participation in the Section 8 Program, maintained its "High Performer" designation through consistent adherence to program regulations and procedures, and continued efforts to enhance customer satisfaction while delivering high-quality services. The Agency also upheld equal housing opportunities by providing comprehensive property listings to all Hawthorne voucher holders.

In addition, the PHA’s Administrative Plan has been updated in accordance with 24 CFR Part 903 to establish a strategic framework for the effective management of operations. This plan is designed to benefit all Section 8 Program participants, both directly and indirectly.
