NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Potter County Housing Authority

Notice of proposed changes to the:

Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan

Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance Program

The Potter County Housing Authority (PCHA) administers the Housing Choice Voucher and Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance Program under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Housing Vouchers and Project Based Rental Assistance are major forms of rental assistance by the U.S. Government.

Federal regulation 24 CFR 982.54 requires all Housing Authorities to adopt a written Administrative Plan to ensure that local programs operate within HUD’s requirements.  The Administrative Plan dictates the program’s waitlist management, preferences, local needs-based policies and new regulations required by HUD.

HUD regulations found in 24 CFR Part 5 and 24 CFR part 891(2016-HOTMA) must be added as needed to our current Administrative Plan. The PCHA may also be updating regulations to the HUD funded Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance Program.

Before changes to the Administrative Plan are formally adopted, a public hearing is required. The Potter County Housing Authority will have the Public Hearing on June 24, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. The Hearing will take place at the Housing Authority office located at 109 Market Street. At that time public comments will be taken pertaining to the proposed changes. The public is also able to offer written comments on the Plan changes by mail or hand delivered to the Potter County Housing Authority, 109 Market Street, Coudersport, PA  16915 by June 21, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. The proposed changes to the Plan and any Public comments will be brought before our Board at our Monthly meeting starting at 4:00 p.m. on June 24, 2024 for final review and adoption.

Please feel free to contact our office with any questions at (814) 274-7031 extensions- 300, 110 and 205.
