New Designation for Housing
Authority:
The Housing Authority of the County of Santa Clara has been
designated as a Moving to Work Agency. This change in our status will
give us the flexibility to alter certain HUD rules to better serve local
needs.
On August
19, 2008, the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the
County of Santa Clara approved two changes to the agency’s
Administrative Plan related to our approved Moving to Work Annual Plan.
The changes
in the policy affect only certain Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
families and relate to a decrease in the frequency of regularly
scheduled reexaminations and unit inspections. These families will be
mailed a flyer outlining the changes.
Direct Deposit:
Section 8 property owners who have signed up for direct deposit and whose
account information has been verified by the bank will see electronic transfer
of housing assistance payments starting
April 1, 2008. Owners can receive an e-mail with confirmation of the transfer,
however, spam blockers may reject this e-mail, therefore, owners need to add directdeposit@hacsc.org
as an “allowed”
email in their address book.
Owners who have
not yet signed up for direct deposit service may print and submit the
Direct
Deposit form or call Finance at (408) 361-4638 or 361-4628.
Energy Partners Program:
Section 8 property owners can take
advantage of the Energy Partners Program which provides qualified low-income
tenants free weatherization measures and energy-efficient appliances to reduce
gas and electricity usage.
