Public Housing Authority Commission Memorandum Neighborhood Resources Memo No. HD22-09
Date:
June 20, 2022
To:
Public Housing Authority Commission
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Tadd Wright, Assistant City Manager
Leah Powell, Neighborhood Resources Director
From:
Amy Jacobson, Housing and Redevelopment Senior Manager
Subject:
Resolution No. HO169 Authorizing the Submission of a Certification to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to Renew the Designation of Kingston Arms Apartments, 127 North Kingston Street, for Occupancy by Elderly or Near Elderly Families
Proposed Motion:
Move the Public Housing Authority Commission (PHAC) pass and adopt Resolution No. HO169, approving the submission of a certification to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to renew the designation of Kingston Arms Apartments, 127 N. Kingston Street, for 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 in 1972, the Kingston Arms Apartments, located at 127 N. Kingston Street, have been designated for elderly and near elderly units. Elderly is defined by HUD as a person 62 years of age or older and near elderly is defined as a person 55 years of age or older. Staff is recommending the continuation of this designation.
Discussion:
City of Chandler Public Housing Authority recognizes that the elderly residents of Public Housing may need additional support services when they reach the age of 62 years or older. To assist with this need, Kingston Arms Apartments were envisioned and constructed in the early 1970’s as apartments designated for the purpose of serving “elderly and near elderly” low income residents, whose income is less than 80% of the Area Median Income.
HUD published a Public Housing Information (PHI) Notice requiring Public Housing Authorities to renew for the designation of housing for specific populations every two years. As a 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: 1) identify the project by name and location 2) the number of units and percentage of the project to be designated, 3) the total number of units in the affected project, and 4) 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 continues for two (2) additional years and is subject to another renewal. The designation only applies to Kingston Arms Apartments.
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.
