III. 3. Adopt Resolution 537, approving the Operating Subsidy submission for the period ending 12/31/21 (HRA2021-01) March 2, 2021 HRA Report 2021-01
Public Housing Operating Subsidy
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: adopt Resolution 537, approving the Operating
Subsidy submission for the period ending 12/31/21.
With approval of this motion, staff will complete the Operating Subsidy documents and
make them available to HUD for their review, adjustment and approval.
Overview
Each year the HRA is required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) to develop and approve a budget for the operation of the 76 units of Hopkins
HRA-owned Public Housing at Dow Towers. HUD currently distributes Operating
Subsidy based on the calendar year rather than the HRA fiscal year. In addition to
preparing the fiscal year budget, HUD annually requests the submission of the
Operating Subsidy Calculation. When Congress determines the amount of funding for
public housing programs, we will be notified of the actual amount. For 2021, we will
receive Operating Subsidy funding from HUD to assist in the general operations at Dow
Towers. Currently, we are anticipating receiving approximately 95 percent of federal
Operating Subsidy. This year HUD has developed a new method to submit the
Operating Subsidy and has requested it be reviewed and approved by resolution.
Supporting Information
• Calculation of Operating Subsidy Forms
• Resolution 537
Alternatives
The HRA has the following alternatives regarding this issue:
1. Approve the action as recommended by staff.
2. Continue for further information.
