3/22/10: Public Notice regarding Additional Proposed Amendment to MTW Agreement
HACSC has been offered an opportunity to amend its Moving to Work (MTW) agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This amendment concerns the method used to calculate the amount of Section 8 administrative fee funds to be provided to HACSC annually. The amendment would result in HACSC receiving its annual administrative fee based on the same calculation method used for non-MTW housing authorities.
A public hearing will be held on Thursday, March 25, 2010, at 3:00 p.m. at the main offices of the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara, 505 West Julian Street, San Jose, CA 95110. This public hearing will coincide with the previously scheduled public hearing regarding HACSC’s proposed 2011 MTW Annual Plan and another proposed amendment (see March 10 Public Notice) to HACSC’s MTW Agreement.
Written comments from the public on HACSC’s plans for this amendment to its MTW Agreement may also be submitted by April 9, 2010, via email or U.S. mail, as follows:
