EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
1. It is time again to do the Annual Agency Plan which
will update our Five Year Plan. This plan covers both
the Public Housing and Section 8 programs and gives
the community and HUD an outlook as to what our
agency plans to accomplish for these two programs
in the next five year period. We will need to schedule
a time and place to review these updates and discuss
any changes.
2. Public Housing has 4 vacancies, 0 at Willow Heights,
• 2 at Lewis Plaza, 1 at Hillcrest Towers, and 1 at
Morgan Manor. The Section 8 Program is full. The
Shelter Plus Care Program has 8 participants and the
Disaster Voucher Program has 6 participants.
