4:35 am
process examine we wanted to protect our utilization rate. but the exhibit was meant to say, no, if it's our pvv, that's when dh can do it or when they can do it and if they don't, refer somebody in 30 days, then we'll step in. if there is no prequalifier, then you come straight to us. so we clarified that language down there. so the chart will be cleaner and for any sites that have any over day, it will say for the prequalifier overlay. and you'll have the new language that is most city can do it after 30 days if no overlay.
4:36 am
it maybieseding it more clear that no we never expected to flood the building with more people than they could actually provide services for. so that's that's and the other thing which is in chapter 4, which again was not a chapter that we expected changes to. that we have allowed for, we have the red emergency referral section. and that's is going to change to say emergency transfers. that's provided but ocd and, the reason why it's going to say just emergency rather than rad, they want to add in, so anyone who is at the rad properties, the hope 6 and hope
4:37 am
sfpvv website would all fall in the emergency referral process that we currently have. but limited to sites. so that's a change that has happened that i did not anticipate at the beginning. so i'm bringing that >> just we go through the slides, i know these presentations have been moving through committees as well? correct? >> yes. >> can we, as we move through these final slides, see how we can condense that we're spending on each slide since we have revisited. >> the only ones that i'm bringing are the ones that has not been talked about. so this chapter 4 has not been talked about. we had already done this before
4:38 am
annual planning started, we made changes. i have literally never talked about this change except for today. >> i just feel, some of the, the rate which we're moving through the slide, we know there is been substantive review. next slide. okay, so this is the chapter 2 and you'll see in red are the additional, the additional language that has been present thed the whole time. there is a lot of around the 30
4:39 am
calendar days. is that enough time? is that when it starts, is that when it ends, so we did add that the investigation will commence after 30 days. and we will create a process for this. none of these proposed changes are going to into affect until october. so there will be a robust process and things figured out for this. and you'll see the public comment so you'll see the comments made about this on the side so really try to clarify, okay are you going to let a person know that you received it all that kind of stuff. so we did add language to try to clear up the 30 days and how many time we were planning on taking. and we will have more robust
4:40 am
procedures on how to do this going forward. so the change here, we talked a lot about inspire. we have reverse in the hcv plan. we will continue through this year. that is not the case for the public housing side who adopted and inspired in 2023 so that was already the case and our sites our two remaining sites have been inspired. so the inspired changes to the acot remains but the admin plan have been removed. and then i put the lease termination slide because the chapter 13 is not one that i
4:41 am
identified in the beginning as a chapter that was going to receive changes. but chapter 13 actually did receive changes. we did discuss it and it's that over income, limitation to public housing where they have if they become over income, they have the 24-month grace period for that. and then they can either sign a new lease as a non public housing over income tenant, so they no longer be part of the housing program but they can remain in the unit paying a different rate. so that discussion has been had but the changes are in chapter 13 which had i mentioned before. and then the other only other
4:42 am
public comments about income calculations and things about that nature were mainly around noticing. there is a lot of concern about the legal aid group. so they provided a lot of process, and so, their concerns was with these changes will we notice them? of course, between now and when the changes go into affect, as i said, our change will not in into affect until october. we will having to revamp at the, in take packets and all the different forms and release of informations all of that stuff will have to align with
4:43 am
the new hotma rules. so none of these changes would be implemented for any of the families until after october first of this year at which point when they get to their annual reexamination or interim, is when they will start to see a lot of this new stuff and we will make some sort of decision, not me, higher than me, but some decision about how to notify individuals who are coming up on their reexamination will be notified to how their income will be calculated and things of that nature. yes, so this is another one, where they wanted to get more specific about how the tenant rate, the way income is
4:44 am
calculated. the reason why the policy is general, like how the code is since all income is calculated unless it's excluded that would be different for every family depending on the size, how many are over the age of 18 and how many jobs do they have. so we don't put into the policies specifics as far as that goes, you have to know that all income is counted and unless it's excluded and then there is a chart. we have an exhibit that has all the exclusions. and then it's adjusted and exclusions that they qualify for. and then after that, it's just a matter of the code tells, they can, it tells them how it's calculated. so we're not going to put that in the, we're not going to put any specific in the policy like
4:45 am
they want. and yup that's just a slide that we've given before that showed all the deductions, it combined the reductions and new reexamination schedule how the income is suppose to be calculated just to show we've gone over there and every one will be well-informed of how that is. and families, have always been required to you know, report fully report all of their income. i don't know that it's an extra burden the way the code has changed.
4:46 am
it shouldn't be a problem but,. yeah, that's just more of this same thing, i was just bringing up the public comment but that group seems to be concerned about noticing and making sure that people are aware of how the changes to the calculation of their income was going to play out. >> you know, the theme that seems to be continuing throughout the annual plan, this is been going on tore every single part that i've been part of this process. what is the common sense that is provided to residents, or their advocates to help them address individual needs in questions and provide a path for clear concise agreements. given how far the authority can
4:47 am
move in one direction or another? that is still an unresolved itches that includes continuous work. how complicated issues. no more, no questions? i said something about, oh yeah. >> just on the communication side, thank you very much. it's so much information to provide. similar to how we move through these conversations, the same process is necessary. how do we concise.
4:48 am
and what tools are we using that people are using when looking for. if we're not plugged in in a way that residents use, why not? what do we need to do so? so that more people have clear ways of understanding what resources are available to them. thoz are the basic component and we have to come back to the basic residential questions
4:49 am
that residents have. and i think for cau, that would are available and contracted to the city. similar to successful processes where nonprofit are contracted with to help us do the translation of our own work and common language that is accessible, i think it's a very important principle that is constantly has to be returned to. and i'm looking forward to seeing wecan do that as we move through this process. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. any public comment for item 10 a? >> we do have one online, ashley, apologize for the pronunciation, if you can unmute yourself.
4:50 am
>> speaker: yes, thank you, i want to highlight and reiterate some of the comments. especially for the discrimination complaints especially to request to requesting an informal hearing related to the outcome of the investigation. for example if they determine that no discrimination has occured. i want to to reconsider the language of confidentiality requirement. we do appreciate that this information is confidential, but we also want to make sure that victims and their representatives do not face any obstacles in obtaining information.
4:51 am
or obtaining their information. even after providing time lited releases with disclosure from tenants. thank you. >> thank you very much. any additional public comment? >> close public comment and ask for motion for approval. >> before we do that, are there any authority comments based on the comments that we heard today? >> speaker: yes, on the discretion part, i did intend to make it clear, so i'll make it clear now, if you look at the policy, the the complainant, they don't have to
4:52 am
notify the authority about these things. it's permissible on their part. it says they should and they may notify in our authority breakout, they may notify us. they always absolutely have the right to file a complaint with had youed. we do let them know already in their briefing packet that they have that right and noticing in the lobby placard that they have the right. the part when they came in and did this 30-day thing, that's really putting the we're supposed to be, if somebody were to notify it, did it have merit, that we were suppose to try to do something about it. so we added, that language to say, okay, here's what we're fwg to do and we're going to create that process.
4:53 am
but, at no point does even if they were to notify us, nobody has to wait toerer our decision to contact hud. because it's a completely voluntary tare' process. maybe they want to talk to us first rather than go through the formal process with hud. we have only committed thus far to making sure that we investigate any complaints against us, which would be if you felt like our contractors or anyone, from the authority did anything that is suppose to be discriminatory and that is from the fair housing perspective, a lost times, sometimes what gets mixed up is is the land order issues, we
4:54 am
get something in but we log the complaint and determine, this is just a normal tenant complaint. >> and then, just on the domestic question. information, is that a policy or administrative? >> yeah beinger i don't believe it's the poll sew issue, i looked at the policy again and it says pretty clearly that when it comes to disclosure if the victim release that they want that information disclosed tip i can --typically, because they need it, that it would be disclosed. so with the intent. >> i think thank you very much. i think that comes back to commissioners, just the follow-up work that we want to be doing and encouraging of the housing authority.
4:55 am
it's an issue of communication both by us and those we contract with. in simplifying our messaging, i think that's something that we need to pay attention to as we continue to see an increase in members of the public who are joining us at these meetings. while that's wonderful that we're accessible, it's unfortunately of the items that we need to dive into once again. but i know that's for future conversations and meetings. any additional questions or comments before we pick back up on the motion to approve? okay. okay. >> so just to confirm that was a motion to approve from commissioner kim. >> second? >> i second.
4:56 am
>> commissioner kim? >> aye. >> commissioner lindo. >> aye. >> commissioner--torres. >> aye. >> any additional commissioners comment right now? all right, well i hope everybody has a wonderful month of june and we'll see you all next month. can we please articulate again, my understanding is that we're scheduling a special meeting. >> yes, for the next three months, we'll be having special meeting at different times than we would have typical meeting. our next meeting will be july 31 in the 11:00 am like i said if you want to see the meeting times, they're on our website under the commission tab.
