Memorandum of Agreement for Inter -Jurisdictional Mobility <br />September 6, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />family from the PHA who has jurisdiction over the unit and the family's assistance would continue <br />to be administered by SAHA. This MOA will reduce the time it takes for families to move between <br />housing authority jurisdictions in Orange County and allow SAHA, OCHA, and AHA to more <br />efficiently administer our housing assistance. <br />OCHA, AHA, and the Garden Grove Housing Authority have had an agreement in place for over <br />ten year years and they intend to renew their existing five-year agreement. Prior to 2009, SAHA <br />was a party to the agreement. This agreement between housing authorities in Orange County <br />has proven to be successful and cost effective. In addition to the administrative benefits of joining <br />this agreement, SAHA would also retain 100 percent of the Administrative Fee for a family's <br />voucher outside of our jurisdiction in -lieu of paying 80 percent of the Administrative Fee to a <br />Receiving PHA that is billing SAHA for the administration of the family's voucher. SAHA currently <br />disburses approximately $375,000 per year in Administrative Fees for port -out vouchers being <br />administered by OCHA, AHA the Garden Grove Housing Authority and other housing authorities <br />nationwide, with the majority in Orange County. If SAHA decides not to be a party to this <br />agreement, voucher assisted -families will still exercise their right to portability under the federal <br />regulations for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. <br />The MOA (Exhibit 1) outlines the definitions and terms of the agreement. Contingent on approval <br />of this action by the City Council and Housing Authority, the MOA will be recommended to the <br />Orange County Board of Supervisors for consideration. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item assists the City in meeting Goal #4 - Fiscal Sustainability, Objective #1 <br />(Maintain a stable, efficient and transparent financial environment). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />Jud nn Bre <br />Housing Division Manager <br />Community Development Agency <br />JB/MZ <br />Exhibit: 1.
