AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
Each year NNRHA is required to submit a Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan to HUD. The
PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to public housing agency policies, programs,
operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. Physical needs
assessments for the properties are performed and used to enable the Authority to
better assess the capital needs of its portfolio and assist in the capital planning of public
housing renovations. As a result of reduced capital funding by HUD, these capital funds
are inadequate in addressing the backlog of deferred maintenance.
Over the past several years, NNRHA has been focusing on repositioning some of its public
housing to preserve and develop needed affordable housing units. NNRHA has already
converted 408 of its public housing inventories under HUD’s Rental Assistance
Demonstration Program. NNRHA will be working with consultants to review the status of
our public housing units and determine a plan to address their future needs.
Assuming level capital improvement funding, the Authority will continue ongoing
renovations of residential units at Marshall Courts. The comprehensive improvements
include exterior renovations, exterior doors, and replacement of HVAC equipment.
Staff from the HUD Richmond Field Office will be working with the Agency to explore
repositioning possibilities of the remaining public housing inventory. Also, Virginia
Housing is collecting information to understand the current status of public housing
inventory in Virginia to assist housing authorities to find viable solutions for its housing
portfolio.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
NNRHA encourages public housing residents to become more engaged in activities leading to
homeownership by sponsoring workshops with concentrations in money management, job
training, financial literacy, personal financial planning and self-sufficiency. Also, through
community partnerships, the Authority works with state and local homeownership agencies to
provide public housing residents with resources needed in understanding the homeownership
process such as mortgage lending and preparing for the responsibilities of homeownership.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
