Tempe Housing Authority adopts streamlined PHA annual plan, approves HUD certifications

The City of Tempe Housing Authority unanimously adopted Resolution THAR2024.01 after a public hearing and no public comment, approving the agency's streamlined Public Housing Agency annual plan for fiscal year 2024–2025 and related certifications required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The resolution also approves revisions to the Tempe Housing Agency administrative plan template and authorizes acceptance of any additional Housing Choice Vouchers that may become available from HUD.

Board Member Adams moved to adopt the resolution and Board Member Hodge seconded. A roll‑call vote recorded unanimous approval, 8–0. The clerk reported no public comment cards for the hearing. The presiding officer announced the motion passed unanimously.

The PHA annual plan functions as Tempe's application for federal funding for the Housing Choice Voucher program and outlines goals, objectives, policies and program details that guide local administration. Staff described the item as both the HUD application and the mechanism to accept additional vouchers if HUD awards them to Tempe.

No members of the public addressed the board during the hearing. The board took no additional action beyond adopting the resolution.

Next procedural steps: the board's adoption completes the local approval needed to submit the streamlined annual plan and certifications to HUD; staff did not specify an implementation timeline in the hearing record.
