Home

HCHA April 9, 2019 now its designated to go into Kaloko Heights Project in Kona off of Hina Lani road. The last thing was have also is the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act program where we provide basically job education training for disadva....dislocated workers and also youth that may need the assistance throughout the island. There is a correction on the bottom, it actually totals out to 26 million dollars...$26,562,000 that we receive each year through the different grants from HUD and W...labor...Department of Labor. This shows that, and this is an error to because actually the federal grants and revenues totals 92.7% of our funding comes federal grants and program revenues and eight...7.3 shows 8.54 but actually is 7.3% is from County general subsidy funds to help us pay for costs. We try to charge as much as we can to the different projects but there are things that...if we work like, lets say on a non-subsidized program we have to charge those costs to the County as far as help us pay for the expenses. A lot of the projects that when were talking to these people, there's nothing, no program revenue derived but, you know, that time and efforts is usually charged to that...when were working. I'll skip this there's administrative division, existing housing is one of the division. This one shows the breakdown of the housing vouchers throughout the island and right now I hate to say it but because of the cost is much lower on the east side, 78.9% of the housing vouchers are on the eastside, the rest is on the westside from Kohala all the way to Ka`u. Lot of times its very difficult on the westside to find rental units within the fair market rent values that their limited to. But were working on that as far as trying to build more inventory on the east...westside. This shows the waiting list and its little bit confusing because although there's roughly 2000 people on the waiting list for different...for the housing voucher program and various projects. One person can be on be on several waitlists so it can be a little bit confusing but its all, each waitlist is kept separate for each project. Right now the housing voucher program we have 385, we recently purged the waitlist to make sure that these people are really interested in participating and these are current, updated, waiting list applications. This one shows the different programs also on existing housing you'll see self- sufficiency program where we provide during five years for section 8 clients where the agency would put monies into an escrow account which they may use later to purchase a home. So lets say the 30% is $300 and we subsidize $500 and they increase their income so now they gunna be paying $400, instead of decreasing the $500 subsidy, we put the...actually we pay $100 into the escrow Page 6 of 22
