• RFP: HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER - PROJECT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE

In 1974, this program was replaced by the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Program, also referred to as Section 8. The HAP Program allowed recipients of certificates and vouchers to enter into leases directly with the owner and the Housing Authority subsidized a portion of the tenant's rent. The Section 8 program originally allocated 945 units. At the end of 1998, the Section 8 program had allocated over 2,800 certificates and vouchers.

In 1999, a new program was introduced to the Housing Authority called the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP). This program eliminated certificates and offered tenants a voucher with more flexibility in renting a unit, as long is their portion didn't exceed 40% of their income during the initial term. The HCVP also allowed owners a little more flexibility with their initial rent rate as well as market based rent adjustments.

In addition to the HCVP, the Housing Authority received 700 Welfare-to-Work vouchers to assist families in becoming self sufficient.

Application Process

Applicant Screening - An applicant screening program recently authorized by State law provides for police criminal history background checks. Any adult applicant who is found to have been convicted of a felony can be refused public housing. This new law gives Housing Authorities increased leverage to discourage criminal activity within the developments.

The Housing Authority currently manages three migrant family farm labor housing developments for the State of California. . This housing is available annually from the first week of May through the end of October. Day care centers are provided for farm workers as well as services from the Employment Development Department, the Social Security Administration, and education and health care services. During the off-season, one of the French Camp Facilities is made available to the homeless. The facilities were also used as evacuation sites during the January, 1997 floods and as "emergency" housing for families displaced by city or county action.
