Subject: Public Housing Authority Board Resolution Approving Agreement of a
FY2013 Capital Fund Program Grant with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The Waterloo Housing Authority (WHA) received notice of a Capital Fund grant
of $45,153.00 through a letter on August 2013. The purpose of the funding is to
perform modernization projects on Ridgeway Towers, examples of these
improvements are: windows, kitchen cabinets, etc. However, the method of
funding is a formula allocation.
The Housing Authority's share was calculated on the basis of current information
available in HUD's data system regarding the age of the units, the condition, the
number of bedrooms and the total number of units.
The Capital fund budget that is submitted can be revised at any time during the
next four years and need to be expended during the next four years ( two years to
obligate and two years to expend) for a range of projects from operating expenses
at Ridgeway Towers (administration, operations, etc and other projects).
The Housing Authority is required to conduct meetings between the Housing
residents and staff; conduct an audit within nine months of their fiscal year and
need to develop a HUD required housing plan between November and April of
each year. With the help of the tenants the current Capital Fund Program and
future funding priorities is a part of the planning process.
The Waterloo Housing Authority's Director is seeking the board's approval
to accept the 2013 Capital Fund Grant.

Copy to Sherri Muller, HUD finance
Subject: Resolution and approval to use Section 8 Administrative Fee Reserve
to cover Housing Assistance Program (HAP) shortfall.
A request is made on behalf of the City of Waterloo's Housing Authority, the
use of the Section 8 Administrative Fee reserves for the purpose of sending an
overage of HAP to HUD for the actual families participating on the Section 8
housing program.
Half of the families with vouchers are seniors or people with disabilities, and
many are families with children. These households typically have incomes well
below the poverty line and cannot afford decent housing without assistance.
Because of the sequestration cuts in HAP funding some of these families will go
without assistance and will face extreme hardship, such as having to live in
emergency shelters.
We will utilize these funds if approved to pay the overage of actual HAP use
for some of the Section 8 families we serve; the funds are set -a -side and the
priority is to assist the Waterloo Housing Authority's Voucher families.
The funds that are requested is approximately $63,000 from the WHA Section 8
Administrative Reserves which is approximately $21,000 per month for
October, November and December of 2013.
If you have questions on the above please contact me at 319-233-0201

RIDGEWAY Towers projects in progress.
Future Project:
Detention system was installed in November of 2011 will tie a couple of punch list
items ends this spring.
As always the numbers below will fluctuate depending on the number of
terminations, evictions or tenants that voluntarily left the program per week,
month, and year.
There is an average of approximately 1.4-16 tenants going off the program each
month approximately (180 per year).
We pull approximately 35 to 40 prospective tenants off of the waiting list on a
by- monthly basis for lease ups. We are slowing the process until we know
what is going on with the sequestration.
We are billed monthly by other Housing Authorities for tenants that ported/moved
out of Waterloo to other cities.
The numbers for that as of this month are 17.
Working on the underground detention pond is in process and will be completed in
the Spring.
Beverly, Julie, Wanda and Janet
Recertification's approximately 23 per month
Movers approximately 15.5 per month either in town or out of town
Complaints inspections approximately 3 per month
New leases approximately 11 per month on the average.
Tenants going off of the program are approximately 16 per month. We are always
playing catch up. Portability port fees are paid out to other housing authorities
1000 x 44.85 =44,450.00 administrative fee.
Some of those fees go back out to other housing authorities for our portability's to
other cities.
Budgeted $ 4,134,000 million
