Fikes Executive Summary Administrative Plan (under separate cover) TELEPHONE NUMBERS: - - eat. 2490 Hillsborough 732 -8181 Chapel Hill 968 -4501 Durham 688 -7331 Mebane 227 -2031 PURPOSE: To adopt a resolution approving the Administrative Plan for the Orange County Section 8 Housing Program. BACKGROUND: Every housing agency that administers the Section 8 Certificate and Voucher programs must adopt a written Administrative Plan that establishes local policies for administration of the program in accordance with HUD requirements. Further, HUD regulations require that the plan be approved by the agency's governing board by resolution. There have been several significant statutory and regulatory changes in the program over the past few years, thus the County Plan must be revised to incorporate the latest changes. The major changes are summarized in the attached Executive Summary. Because of the size of the full version of the Administrative Plan, the document will be provided under separate cover. The Section 8 Program provides rental assistance to approximately 575 low income families each year. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends adopting a resolution approving the Administrative Plan for the Orange County Section 8 Housing Program.
