Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)Administrative Plan Proposed Changes and Revisions
Redlined versions of proposed Administrative Plan changes posted on IHCDA website in Public notice section effective August 8- September 22, 2014. Public hearing for Board Approval of changes scheduled for September 25, 2014.
The purpose of the administrative plan is to establish policies for carrying out the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program in a manner consistent with HUD requirements and local goals and objectives.
The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) regularly reviews its policies, procedures and plans to further the agency mission while taking into consideration the needs of the residents of the State of Indiana.
The below attached documents are being offered for public review and comment:
Most of the changes for the 2014 revision of the Administrative Plan were made necessary by the publication of the Federal Register notice regarding the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA), issued August 6, 2013. The notice stated that the provisions of
VAWA 2013 were not self-implementing, and that HUD would issue rules or guidance at a later date. However, on September 30, 2013, HUD sent a letter to PHA executive directors which called for immediate policy development addressing certain provisions of VAWA 2013.
In response to HUD’s letter, the revisions were developed as transitional policies to meet this HUD requirement. Once HUD issues the expected guidance, additional changes may be required. In addition to the extensive VAWA changes, the 2014 revision has been brought current with all recent regulatory requirements and guidance and also includes:
• Updates to the list of federally mandated income exclusions as published in the Federal Register
• Minor modifications for clarification and wording
Changes were also made to the Plan to incorporate HUD’s implementation of the appropriations act as stated in two new Federal Register notices on June 25, 2014. These changes include:
PHAs are required to use the lower of the family’s voucher bedroom size or the unit size when establishing the family’s utility allowance
The definition of extremely low income has changes to the higher of 30% of area median income (AMI) or the federal poverty level
PHAs may establish a policy for performing unit inspections biennially rather than annually. The policy could apply to some or all of the assisted units
Additionally, IHCDA is proposing changes to:
• Inspection results, reinspections, and extensions ; and
• Project Base Voucher Solicitation and Selection of PBV Proposals/Project municipality
Five (5) Year and Annual Plan Proposed Submission
The PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to public housing agency (PHA) policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. There are two parts to the PHA Plan: the 5-Year Plan, which each PHA submits to HUD once every 5th PHA fiscal year, and the Annual Plan, which is submitted to HUD every year. Anytime policy changes are necessary, IHCDA allows a public comment period providing participants, applicants and the general public an opportunity to review the proposed changes and provide written feedback to IHA before the recommended changes are presented to and approved by the IHCDA Board of Commissioners.
Public comment period on the above Administrative Plan changes will begin August 8, 2014 and end on September 23, 2014.
The policy changes will go before the Board for approval on September 25, 2014 @10:00am. The public is welcome to attend. If approved, the policy changes will be effective October 1, 2014 allowing for consideration of the conclusion of the public review and comment period and the Five (5) Year and Annual Plan will be submitted to HUD no later than October 6, 2014.
Written comments should be addressed to: Tamela Royston, Director of Housing Choice Operations, troyston@ihcda.in.gov or mailed to her attention at 30 S. Meridian, Suite 1000, Indianapolis, IN 46204

2014 State of Indiana Action Plan
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires states and local communities to prepare a Consolidated Plan in order to receive federal housing and community development funding. The Consolidated Plan combines into a single document the planning and application requirements for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) funding.The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is:
• To identify the state's housing and community development needs, priorities, goals, and strategies.
• To stipulate how funds will be allocated to housing and community development organizations and local governments.
As part of the process of developing the Consolidated Plan for the year beginning July 1, 2014, we need your insight on:
1. Unmet housing needs;
2. Unmet community development needs;
3. The most critical barriers to fair housing choice;
4. The equity and fairness of delivery of services (such as quality schools, parks & recreation opportunities or public transit) to communities across the state;
5. The specific challenges faced by vulnerable and special needs populations in accessing a full range of housing choices; and
6. What the state can do to help communities and residents to overcome these challenges.
The link below will take you to a brief (no more than 15-20 minutes) survey that allows you to tell us what YOU think are the most important things we need to take into account in developing our Consolidated Plan and related documents. Your voice will help us to develop policies that will truly meet local needs while fulfilling our obligations as responsible stewards of public resources. Survey's will be accepted until April 30, 2014.
