SUBJECT: SECTION 8 EXISTI14G PROGRAM
The Section 8 Existing Rent Assistance Program is administered by the Metro-
- politan Council Housing "and Redevelopment Authority (<<etro HRA) . Tile program's
purpose is to help lower income families to obtain decent, affordable (rousing.
Eligible families and elderly or disabled individuals may select a rental unit
in any of the Metro HRA participating communities. Privately owned apartment
units, duplexes , townhouses , single family homes, cooperatives, congregate
housing and mobile homes may be selected as long as they are in good condition
and within the current rent limits. ,
The Metro HRA program uses both local and metro'staff resources. Families and
individuals may apply in most of the participating communities with local staff
to- serve them. Communities choosing to provide staff services will be reim-
bursed from the federal funds received by Pietro HRA for administrative services.
i In some communities, Metro HR.A provides staff to the community on a part-time
basis. Local inspectors are used to determine whether rental units meet HUD
established Housing Quality Standards. Services provided at the Netro level
include applications to HUD for funding, selection of eligible *applicants ,
approval of leases and housing assistance payments contracts, bookkeeping and
accounting functions, and program monitoring.
As an Urban Hennepin County CDBG participant, your community, by availing it-
self of the Section 8 Existing Rent Assistance -Program, would enhance the po-
tential of meeting our mutual housing goals. Please carefully consider making
the Section 8 Program available to your citizens-. This can be done by simply
passing the attached resolution. Tile resolution authorizes the Petro HRA to
.apply for Section 8 Existing funds on behalf .of the community. If your com-
munity has a Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the local HRA must also ap-
prove joining the Pietro HRA program. A,certi-fief -copy:af:;�-the?resaluti.Rn
