Mr. Ilagan: Is your mic on? Mr. Arnett: My mic is on, yes. Mr. Ilagan: We are going to take a five minute break. Mr. Ilagan: We are back from recess, I hope that we didn't delay anything, the discussion, but I just want to say, if you could continue, Administrator Arnett? Mr. Arnett: Yes. As a result of our one year plan that we are required to submit to HUD, a draft of that plan is before you following the blue paper in your packet. I'm going to have Sharon Hirota who is my Division Head for the Section 8 Rental Subsidy Program, Existing Housing come forward and give you the details on what we would like to have you approve today. So 2180wcmd Page 3 of 8 HCHA April 15, 2014 Sharon, if you would come forward in Hilo and describe where we're going with this please. Ms. Hirota: Good morning. Mr. Ilagan: Good morning Sharon. Ms. Hirota: So we are requesting the approval of the Public Housing Agency Plan. It's an annual plan that we must file to HUD in regards to our Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 Program documenting our plans and actions for the upcoming fiscal period starting July 1, 2014. We held, as required, we conducted a public hearing. Well first of all, we made the plan available for public review and had a public hearing on April 2. And we received public comments in regards to one of the action items and so this is in regards, located on page four of nine of the actual plan in section 7.0 that talks about the Project Based Voucher Program. And based on comments that we received, the Office of Housing is going to increase the number of available Project Based Vouchers in 2014 from 20 to 55. So we will be amending this plan and then submitting it upon your approval to HUD. No other changes will be made. Mr. Ilagan: Thank you Sharon for that clarification, Administrator Arnett. Mr. Arnett: So based upon that we would ask you to approve the draft of this plan so we can submit to HUD and increase the Project Based Vouchers from our original number of 20 to 55 so that we can have an additional number of Big Island residents getting rental subsidy. Mr. Ilagan: Thank you. Does any of the Housing Members have any discussion? Ms. Wille. Ms. Wille: Thank you Chair. Mr. Arnett, a couple questions. On the Homeownership Assistance Program, and I see that that is sort of moving people towards the option of homeownership rather than rental and if you could just say very, very briefly how that works, and I guess my question is, how much money is being diverted over to that as opposed to the rental and what the cost is per unit considering that we got over 8,000 people on the waiting list, over 52% have children and over 48% are in the extremely low income area. Mr. Arnett: You want to clarify your question for me just a little bit please? 2180wcmd Page 4 of 8 HCHA April 15, 2014 Ms. Wille: So I see that there's both a rental program and a homeownership program, and I admit, I haven't researched exactly what the cost of each is and I just wonder if you could just summarize... Mr. Onishi: Excuse me, Mr. Chair? Mr. Ilagan: What's your point of order Mr. Onishi? Mr. Onishi: In Hilo we are having a hard time hearing because of the volume but then if we put up the volume than this humming sound get louder so people in the audience and also with the staff, they can't really understand what Ms. Wille is saying. Mr. Ilagan: Thank you Mr. Onishi. Ms. Wille: Okay, Fresh, does this sound okay? Better? Mr. Onishi: Yes, much better. Ms. Wille: Okay, so I'm just looking at how we're allocating funds and comparing what funds are being used for the homeownership program versus the rental program. And just as a point of inquiry, given the high, what I've mentioned before, if they didn't hear me in Hilo, was that there's over, right now, 8,000 waiting to be on the rental program and of those, over 520 have children and over 480 of those are in the extremely low income category. So just out of concern as to how we're allocating funds, to what extent are we sort of taking money from the rental program to the homeownership option program and whether that's a good idea to continue doing. Mr. Arnett: Sharon, do you want to take that or do you want me to have that? Ms. Hirota: No, I can take it. Mr. Arnett: Okay. Ms. Hirota: So in regards to the Section 8 Homeownership Program, it is a volunteer program for those who are current participants of the Section 8 program. And if they are interested in becoming a homeowner and is homeowner ready, the program allows for mortgage assistance versus rental assistance. We do not allocate monies or divvy out, divide monies saying we're going to allocate so many to homeownership or so many to project based. Our total funding, if somebody is interested, we 2180wcmd Page 5 of 8 HCHA April 15, 2014 would switch over from rental assistance to mortgage assistance. So we currently have three program participants that are receiving mortgage assistance. We've serviced around a total of six families since the inception of the program about four years ago. Three of them are no longer receiving. So they were receiving mortgage assistance and they "graduated" and is now paying 1000 of the mortgage on their own based on their income. So we do still service three. Ms. Wille: Okay so it's basically being used as a transition program and not sort of taking the place in any way of the rental program? Ms. Hirota: That is correct. So it is more geared toward people who are interested and who have become mortgage ready, have connected to resources in our community and through our programs and the mortgage assistance is more like gap funding, if the individual cannot afford the entire mortgage on their own. Ms. Wille: Thank you and my second question is just in terms of this 8,722 applicants waiting, what's on the horizon here? I mean are we moving towards more, we've got the affordable housing projects or workforce housing projects or just how you see us addressing those 8,000 people waiting on the applicant list. Ms. Hirota: In regards to the number of people on our waiting list, I will tell you that we are the only County currently that has a wait list open in our State and the list continues to grow. But since December of 2013, we've started calling people off of our wait list, the first time in over two years. So as of today, we've called up 400 applicants off of our wait list and our plan is to continue to do so for the remainder of 2014 in order to spend down our allocation that HUD has given us for the calendar year 2014. So by the end of 2014 we would have called up at least, we're hoping if all works out, at least 1,300 off of our wait list. Ms. Wille: And when you say off of the wait list, where you are determining that they may be no longer eligible and that would bring the wait list down or that they now...? Ms. Hirota: Correct. Ms. Wille: That's correct? 2180wcmd Page 6 of 8 HCHA April 15, 2014 Ms. Hirota: Yes so our wait list, we are calling people off the wait list. So far, our statistics show that 70% have responded that they are interested in the program but we are still working on the processing of the applications. Ms. Wille: Okay so, I just want to adjust my question. I guess I'm not really, for our County to be one allowing people to get on the waiting list, I'm not sure how that really plays towards what we're doing in order to address getting those applicants that are eligible into some kind of shelter or housing. Ms. Hirota: Okay so once we, the way the Section 8 Program works is that once our office determines that a family or participant is eligible, they will search for a rental unit in the general public, so they don't need to stay in a specific area or in a specific project. They would then enter into a lease agreement directly with a private landlord anywhere within our County. Ms. Wille: I see so all of these 8,000 people, or the number of those that are eligible, could be out locating suitable housing shelter right now and then making arrangements with you all through the program to get a Section 8 voucher? Ms. Hirota: We will offer the voucher to those off of the waiting list based on the date and time they applied. So our wait list is over six years old. We are processing applications dating back in April of 2008. Mr. Arnett: Let me answer your question a little more directly. The answer to your question is no. 8,000 people seeking housing, seeking a voucher, not happening. Long story short is that as your name comes up to the top of the list, those are the people who are then vetted to determine whether or not their income requirements are equal to what are necessary for rental subsidy. But everybody on the list seeking housing, we don't have that kind of funding. I'm sorry. Ms. Wille: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Ilagan: Thank you Ms. Wille, Ms. Ford? Ms. Ford: Mr. Arnett, also this may have been stated earlier but I just want to make sure I understand it. Of those 8,000, as they come up and they're vetted, the reason they drop off the list is either they don't need it anymore or they didn't qualify in the beginning. 2180wcmd Page 7 of 8 HCHA April 15, 2014 Mr. Onishi: Excuse me, Mr. Chair can you have her move closer to the mic? We cannot hear her. Ms. Ford: Ok thanks. The people who move to the top of the list who are then vetted, either don't need the help anymore or they don't qualify and that's the reason they are dropping off the list to be vetted out? Mr. Arnett: That's true, yes. Ms. Ford: Okay so I think you and I had a discussion sometime before that a lot of people will apply for the housing vouchers that never would be qualified. We seem to have, and this is just a comment, we seem to have a gap between the people at the very low end who will qualify for the housing Section 8 vouchers and those right above them who kind of fall through the crack. They can't get the assistance but they also don't make enough money to get into the market priced housing, is that correct? Mr. Arnett: Yes ma'am, that is. Ms. Ford: Alright, thank you Mr. Chair. Mr. Ilagan: Thank you Ms. Ford. Any other Housing Members have any discussion, comments? At this time we will end discussion and all in favor for the motion to approve the Public Housing Agency Plan for the Housing Choice Voucher Program for the County of Hawaii say aye. Members: Aye. Mr. Ilagan: Any opposed? None. At this time the approval has been voted on and we have no old business. We don't have Administrator's oral report and we don't have a next meeting so may I have a motion for adjournment? Mr. Kern: So moved. Ms. Ford: Second. Mr. Ilagan: Moved by Mr. Kern, second by Ms. Ford, all in favor say aye. Members: Aye. Mr. Ilagan: Any opposed? We have the ayes and the meeting is now adjourned. (9:40 am) 2180wcmd Page 8 of 8 4.

A "substantial deviation " or a "sig—wificant amendment or modification " is defined by OHCD as substantive change to the OHCD's method ofdoing business. HUD rules govern many ofthe procedures used by any PHA, including OHCD. Where HUD rules require OHCD to state its policies regarding its procedures, thosepolicies are contained in the Rules and Regulations of the Office ofHousing and Community Development (Rules). Substantive changes in those Rules require a Public Hearing according to Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 91. Some examples of substantial deviations or significant amendments or modifications to the Rules ofOHCD would be: 1) Changes to rent or admissions policies 2) Changes to Waiting List policies; 3) Changes in the eligibility criteria for participants; 4) Changes in the grievance settlement policies. OHCD will also explain in the Annual Plan when there is a substantive change in OHCD's policies as stated in the 5 -Year Plan.
