Quarterly Report for the Housing Choice Voucher Program <br />May 4, 2021 <br />Page 3 <br />6 <br />8 <br />4 <br />Chart 5 depicts participants by percentage of <br />Orange County median income. As of March <br />2021, the County’s median income is $102,450 <br />per year for a family of four. <br />Approximately 88 percent of families on the <br />program earn less than 30 percent of the median <br />income, which is $38,450 per year for a family of <br />four (4). <br />Participants’ incomes come from a variety <br />of sources, as illustrated in Chart 6. A total <br />of 30 percent of participating families have <br />income from employment. <br />Participating families pay a portion of their <br />monthly rent based upon their income and <br />the payment standard for their unit. The <br />Housing Authority pays the difference <br />between the tenant’s portion and the <br />contract rent. This payment is the Housing <br />Assistance Payment (HAP). The average <br />HAP for January to March was $1,300. <br />Production <br />HQS Inspections: <br />At least once every two (2) years, the <br />Housing Authority must inspect each <br />assisted unit to ensure it meets <br />HUD’s Housing Quality Standards <br />(HQS) in compliance with the federal <br />regulations. From January to March, <br />a total of 285 inspections and re- <br />inspections of our assisted units <br />were performed, of which 52 <br />inspections failed. Chart 7 illustrates <br />the number of inspections performed on a monthly basis during the reporting period.
