Sincerely, Executive Director RAP/sw Enclosures SALINA HOUSING AUTHORITY 1984 ANNUAL REPORT During 1984, progress was made in several areas. Highlights of the year include: Improvement of Project 38-2 Deficit of $14,450 on December 31, 1983, to a small surplus of $ on-December 31, 1984. This was accomplished by moving a more equitable share of Administrative overhead to the Section 8 Program, by better cost control of maintenance purchases, and reduction in contract maintenance costs. Also, some maintenance expenses were converted to the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program (CIAP). A chart showing the status of the deficit/reserves is enclosed. Completion of 1982 CIAP. under this program. 13 houses were fitted with new windows Application for 1984 CIAP funds were made in the amount of $250,000 and HUD approval was granted. .This is a three-year program to be carried out in 1985, 1986, and 1987. Application for additional units of housing to be owned by the City was made as Project KS 38-3. This application has tenative approval, and will be carried out in 1985 and 1986. Late in the year application was made for 69 additional Section 8 Existing Rental Assistance units. This application is pending with HUD at this time. The Fiscal Audit for the two years ending June 30, 1984, was com- pleted ahead of HUD timeframe guidelines and all findings were cleared. At the end of the year the Section 8 Program was slightly over con~nitted at 133 units, against 131 authorized. This is permis- sible because some months we fell below the authorized level. We anticipate no difficulty in closing out the fiscal year within the contract authorization. At year end the 38-2 Program had 6 vacancies. Overall turnover for 38-2 was 30 units or 40 percent. This is a very high rate, but we know of little that can be done to reduce this rate since we are dealing with relatively unstable low income families. The reasons for these moveouts are summarized as follows: 13 - Personal - no reason given 5 - Rent too high because of income increases 4 - Behind in rent, threat of eviction or skipped 4 - Moved because of job opportunity I - Moved to Elderly Housing I - No longer eligible I - Eviction - high rent, refused to pay 1 - Parents bought them a house Tenant applications received for 1984 totaled 255. About 140 remain on waiting lists. There were 42 new families assisted in Section 8 and 34 housed in 38-2 - leaving approximately 40 who could not be found, or otherwise did not accept housing after they came to the top of a waiting list. Payment In Lieu of Taxes: For our Fiscal Year ending June 30, 1984, PILOT accrued in the total amou'nt of $6152.33. This re- presents approximately 44 percent of the estimated actual taxes, which would be due if the property were privately owned. The payment is being made in January, 1985. Major maintenance completed in 1984, includes: Interior Repaints: 32 Exterior Repaints: 14 (3 on Contract) Sewer Repair or Replacements: 2 Floor Replacement: 3 Furnace Replacements: 3 Houses Water Heater Replacements: 9 Termite Treatment: 1 Officers elected for 1985 are: Chairman: Laurence M.
