FY 12 Plan - HUD

[Moving-to-Work 2011-2012 Annual Plan]
Section VI. ONGOING MTW ACTIVITES
ACTIVITY 1
(Block Grant Funded MTW 2010-2011 activities please refer to Appendix C)
ACTIVITY 2
Simplify and Streamline HUD Approval Process for the Development,
Redevelopment, and Acquisition of Public Housing
A. Description of MTW Activity:
The City of San Antonio has a great need for affordable housing for its citizens,
Unfortunately, SAHA‟s public housing portfolio has declined by more than 2,000 units
since 1990 despite the agency‟s significant efforts to redevelop aging Public Housing
Developments and construct or acquire new Public Housing Units. SAHA hopes to
simplify and streamline the HUD approval process through granting SAHA all measures
and waivers detailed in HUD‟s Proposed Rule for the “Streamlined Application Process
in Public/Private Partnerships for Mixed-Finance Development of Public Housing Units”
as published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2006. More housing choices will
be created through the resulting reduction of development costs and a reduction in the
predevelopment processing time required closing on financing.
B. Status Update:
SAHA‟s MTW Activity 2 was approved in the year 2010-2011. SAHA is creating a
Development, Redevelopment and Acquisition Policy to streamline SAHA‟s strategic
planning and policy refinement process to create a work program that fulfills SAHA‟s
goals as an MTW agency. The purpose of this activity is to create, and increase SAHA‟s
affordable housing stock by reducing cost to the agency, as well as predevelopment
finance processing time requirements. SAHA has not implemented this activity, and
may implement it in the spring of 2012.
C. Modifications:
There are no proposed modifications for FY 2011-2012.
D. Evaluators:
SAHA will not be using outside evaluators to monitor or evaluate this activity.
