Re: Operating Budget
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the Department of
Veteran's Affairs, is providing an additional $75,000 to the Office of Housing and Community
Development's Housing Voucher Program. The funds will be used for Housing Assistance
Payment subsidies. In the current fiscal year's budget, $15,000,000 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 $15,075,000.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Neil S. Gyotoku, Housing Administrator, at

A. REQUEST:
We request to amend Ordinance 17-39, The.2017-2018 Operating Budget to increase the Budget in the
Housing Fund as follows:
The Office of Housing and Community Development is requesting the appropriation of $ 75,000.00 to the
Housing Choice Voucher Program (Account/Number 152.3301.54). This amount represent a projected
increase in revenues from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be use for
Housing Assistance Payment subsidies, and is to cover the expenditures account number
152.461.5466.30.371, Voucher rental subsidies.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
On February 22, 2018, the County of Hawai'i (County) was informed that HUD in collaboration with the
Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA), V21/Pacific Islands HCS Facility, approved the County to receive an
allocation of twenty-five (25) Fiscal Year 2017 HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers.
After the processing of the County's application, HUD will issued a formal, public Press Release for all FY17
HUD VASH awardees. HUD will send the County an award letter via email and a Consolidated Annual
Contributions Contract (CACC) Amendment.
The County anticipates that the HUD-VASH vouchers and funding will become available sometime in April
2018.
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, 2017 to June 30, 2018 for the Housing Choice Voucher HCV
(Section 8 program). The $ 75,000.00 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, 2018.
