The one year term of the <br />agreement begins on October 1, 2014 (Exhibit 1). <br />There are three nationally recognized providers of voucher management programs, including <br />Yardi, for housing authorities of a size similar to the Santa Ana Housing Authority. While all are <br />web -based applications, the user interface, workflow, and data exchange processes to support <br />payment creation differ. It is cost - prohibitive to change vendors and retrain staff, re -enter data, <br />and customize new software to support the City's internal control requirements. The Housing <br />Authority's original housing program management software was developed by Nan McKay, Inc., <br />which in 2002 sold its program to Yardi Systems, Inc., and over the years has been customized to <br />serve the Housing Authority's requirements. The Yardi system is recognized as an industry <br />-- - standard, chosen by Los Angeles County, Chicago; Portland, Sacramento, and other large public <br />housing authorities. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, <br />Engagement & Sustainability. <br />Funds are available in the Housing Authority Other Contractual Services account (no. 14018760- <br />62300). <br />Scott Kutner <br />District Manager <br />Community Development Agency <br />DC /SK/MZ /np <br />Exhibit 1.
