9:10 A.M. - (Sitting as the Lake County Housing Commission) Consideration of a Letter to Colusa County Board of Supervisors and authorize the Chair to Sign

Summary

The Lake County Housing Commission (LCHC) is considering a voluntary transfer of its Section 8 housing voucher programs to the Regional Housing Authority (RHA). This transfer, suggested by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), aims to improve efficiency and expand services in Lake County. LCHC, a small authority lacking diverse funding streams, believes transferring to the larger RHA will allow for the development of affordable housing through Project Based Vouchers (PBV) and potentially reintroduce the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The LCHC has formally requested support from the Colusa County Board of Supervisors for this mutual benefit.

Citizen Impact

This transfer could lead to expanded affordable housing options and services for Section 8 voucher holders in Lake County, including potential development of new affordable housing units and the return of the Family Self-Sufficiency program.
