Needs of Public Housing (91.210 (b))
In cooperation with the public housing agency or agencies located within its boundaries,
describe the needs of public housing, including the number of public housing units in the
jurisdiction, the physical condition of such units, the restoration and revitalization needs of
public housing projects within the jurisdiction, and other factors, including the number of
families on public housing and tenant-based waiting lists and results from the Section 504
needs assessment of public housing projects located within its boundaries (i.e. assessment of
needs of tenants and applicants on waiting list for accessible units as required by 24 CFR
8.25). The public housing agency and jurisdiction can use the optional Priority Public Housing
Needs Table (formerly Table 4) of the Consolidated Plan to identify priority public housing
needs to assist in this process.
3-5 Year Strategic Plan Needs of Public Housing response:
In current years the Lakeland Housing Authority (LHA), which serves as the City’s
public housing authority, has focused on the improvement of its existing publiclyowned
housing units and the retention of its housing voucher program. The LHA
manages five (5) properties, which are further detailed in the housing market
analysis table contained within this document.
A description of the families on 2009 waiting list for public housing noted that of the

were families with children, 41 were families with disabilities, 17 were elderly
families, and 112 needed 1-bedroom units. Of the 201 families on the Section 8
waiting list, 73 had incomes of 30% or less of AMI, 160 were families with children,
