AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
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 earlier noted, because of reduced capital funding by HUD, these 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. As noted earlier in this Plan, NNRHA has already
converted 498 units of its public housing inventory under HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration
Program.
Assuming level capital improvement funding, the Authority will continue ongoing renovations to the
exterior of certain phases at Marshall Courts. The comprehensive improvements include removal of
mansard roofing and exterior renovations. Window and siding replacement, in addition to the repaving of
the parking lot will occur at Aqueduct apartments. There are plans for elevator, boiler, and flooring
replacements at Pinecroft apartments. Ashe Manor will have full kitchen replacements and upgrades in
their apartments.
Staff from the HUD Richmond Field Office will be working with the Agency to explore repositioning
possibilities of the remaining public housing inventory. Virginia Housing (VHDA) has begun 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
The Authority encourages public housing residents to become more engaged in activities leading to
homeownership by sponsoring workshops with concentrations in money management, job training,
financial policy, 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
