Commissioner Holloman made a motion to reaffirm the appointment of Lysandra M.
Shaw to the position of Secretary-Treasurer. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Bell and passed with a unanimous vote.
The Board was provided copies of a resolution authorizing the submission of the
Section Eight (8) Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) certification. The
Executive Director reported that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) requires housing authorities to submit SEMAP certifications
within 60 calendar days following the close of each fiscal year.
Staff have continued to focus on improving performance and increasing feedback
scores. For the period ending December 31, 2025, the Authority received a SEMAP
score of 125 points, or 86%, which HUD designates as a Standard Performer. This
reflects an improvement over the prior year’s score of 83%. A minimum score of
90% is required to achieve High Performer status.
The attached certification must be approved by a board resolution and signed by
the Executive Director and Board Chairman and submitted through PIC no later
than March 1, 2026.
Ms. Shaw recommended the approval of the attached resolution.
Commissioner Bell made a motion to approve the resolution. Commissioner Knight
seconded the motion which passed with a unanimous vote. The resolution is
attached to and made a part of these minutes.
Resolution was tabled for February 17, 2026’s Board meeting
The Board was provided copies of a resolution authorizing the formation of Orcutt TH
30, LLC as successor limited partner in the Orcutt Townhomes III, L.P. Orcutt
Townhomes III is a 30-unit LIHTC property placed in service in 2011. The required
15-year compliance period has been completed, and the current investor and special
limited partners have requested to voluntarily withdraw after fulfilling their partnership
obligations. To ensure continued operation of the property, a successor limited
partner must be established. Thus, in accordance with Title 36 of the Code of Virginia,
which governs actions of PHAs in the State, this proposed resolution requests that
the Board of Commissioners consider the formation of the Orcutt TH 30 L.L.C., and
their recommendation that the City Council likewise approve this proposed action.
This entity will be wholly owned by NNRHA. The general (managing) partner of the
Partnership will continue to be the Orcutt Townhomes Phase II] Development
Corporation, which is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the members of
the NNRHA Board of Commissioners. The NNRHA Executive Director will continue
to serve as President of the corporation, similar to previous tax credit developments
in the community. A meeting of the corporation will be held on January 20, 2026, to
consider the entry of the Orcutt TH 30 L.L.C. into the partnership subject to Board
and City Council approval of this entity.
Ms. Shaw recommended approval of the attached resolution.Jump to an indexed page (51 of 51)
