COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its Regular Meeting of October 16, 2007, by a vote of 4:0 (Pedroza,
Turner absent), the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission
recommended that the Housing Authority direct the Authority General
Counsel to prepare and authorize the Executive Director and the Secretary

DISCUSSION
In 1993 the four Housing Authorities in Orange County (Anaheim, Garden
Grove, Santa Ana and the County of Orange) entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) for the purpose of establishing procedures and
guidelines for the implementation of an inter-jurisdictional mobility

are able to relocate anywhere in the United States where there is a
Housing Authority to administer their voucher. When a participant

required to reimburse the receiving Housing Authority for the housing
assistance payments (HAP) and pay eighty percent of the administrative
fee. In order to reduce the administrative burden necessary to implement
portability, the four Orange County Housing Authorities choose to
implement a mobility program.
The MOU, which establishes the mobility program, provides inspection
services, rent reasonableness and rent negotiations for a set fee, thus
reducing administrative costs. The amendment to the MOU will allow the
continuation of the mobility program for our participants and a
continuation of reduced administrative costs for a term of five years.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Housing Authority account (account no. 140-
133-6931).
