ITEM 3
Public Housing Authority Commission Memorandum Neighborhood Resources Memo No. HD24-08
Date:
June 24, 2024
To:
Public Housing Authority Commission
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Tadd Wille, Assistant City Manager
Leah Powell, Neighborhood Resources Director
From:
Amy Jacobson, Housing and Redevelopment Senior Manager
Subject:
Resolution No. HO180, 127 North Kingston Street (Kingston Arms Apartments) Occupancy by Elderly or Near Elderly Families
Proposed Motion:
Move Public Housing Authority Commission pass and adopt Resolution No. HO180 Authorizing the Submission of a Certification to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for its Desire to Renew the Designations of 127 North Kingston Street (Kingston Arms Apartments) for Occupancy By Elderly or Near Elderly Families.
Background:
The City’s Housing and Redevelopment Division, as the Public Housing Authority, assists 303 families in public housing. Since the inception of the City’s Public Housing Authority, the apartments located at 127 N. Kingston (Kingston Arms Apartments) have been designated for elderly and near elderly units. HUD defines elderly as a person 62 years of age or older and near elderly as a person 55 years of age or older. Staff recommends the continuation of this designation.
Discussion:
The City of Chandler Public Housing Authority recognizes that elderly residents may need additional supportive services when they reach the age of 62 years or older. To assist with this need, Kingston Arms Apartments were constructed in the early 1970s as apartments designated for serving "elderly and near elderly" low-income residents. HUD published a Public Housing Information (PIH) Notice requiring Public Housing Authorities to renew the designation of housing for specific populations every two years.
As part of the renewal request, the Public Housing Authority Commission must submit a certification requesting the renewal and address four criteria regarding the location. The Public Housing Authority must:
Identify the project by name and location.
Specify the number of units and the percentage of the project to be designated.
Indicate the total number of units in the affected project.
Identify the population served in the designated units.
This information is outlined in the certifying resolution. If HUD grants the request to continue the designation, the elderly designation will continue for an additional two years and be subject to another renewal. The designation applies only to Kingston Arms Apartments, which includes 37 units and houses entirely elderly and near-elderly individuals and families.
Financial Implications:
HUD funds the costs associated with the Public Housing Program. This request is to continue operations as they have been since the inception of Chandler’s Public Housing Program. No cost impacts are anticipated with this request.
