Re: Operating Budget
The State Department of Housing and Urban Development is providing an additional
$3,000,000 to the Office of Housing and Community Development's Housing Voucher
Program. The funds will be used for payment of rental assistance for eligible participants
of the program. In the current fiscal year's budget, $14,500,000 is appropriated for this
grant.
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating the
additional funds into the Office of Housing and Community Development's Voucher
Rental Subsidies account, and bringing the total grant appropriation to $17,500,000.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Neil S. Gyotoku, Housing
Administrator, at 961-8379.

A. REQUEST:
We request to amend Ordinance 16-72, The 2016-2017 Operating Budget to increase the Budget in the
Housing Fund as follows:
The Office of Housing and Community Development is requesting the appropriation of$3,000,000 to the
Housing Voucher Program (Account Number 152.3301.54). This amount represents an additional increase in
revenues received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to be used for Housing
Assistance Payment subsidies, and is to cover the expenditure account number 152.461.5466.30.371,
Voucher rental subsidies.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The increase in appropriation reflects the updated allocation to be received from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development for the period July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 for the Housing Choice
Voucher HCV (Section 8 program). The $3,000,000 is to be used for payment of rental assistance for eligible
participants in the program. The OHCD expects to expend this allocation by June 30, 2017.
In February of each year, the OHCD compares the County budgeted and HUD anticipated funding for the
Section 8 Program and adjust the budgeted amounts, if necessary; to reflect more closely the anticipated
Program 8 funding the County is to receive for the current fiscal year.
