Attachment: WEBSITE PUBLIC HEARING
Background: On November 17, 2020, The City of Thibodaux was awarded 40 Mainstream Vouchers and funding ($245,808 budget authority) as authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT). The CARES ACT allowed allocation of additional voucher in a non-competitive award to help them prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus in their communities. In order to effectively administer the program in accordance with program requirements and regulations the administration plan must be revised as a substantial amendment. This requires a public notice which occurred on December 14, 2020 in the Daily Comet, reduced public comment period of 5 days ,(December 15, 2020 to December 21, 2020) and Council Approval January 5, 2021.
Targeted Populations: Mainstream vouchers can only be utilized by individuals over the age of 18 and under the age of 62 who have a documented disability.
Summary of Changes:
CHAPTER 4 APPLICATIONS, WAITLIST, AND TENANT SELECTION
1) Mainstream Voucher needs to be included as a targeted funding source.
2) Limited opening of the Waitlist needs to be included to allow opening of the waitlist ONLY for individuals with disabilities under the age of 62 and over the age of 18 to be able to service the Mainstream Vouchers.
3) Process to open the waitlist and take applications needs to be revised in light of COVID-19, and the risk that in person exposure has. Need to provide flexibility to the process to meet the departmental needs. Option to utilize Call in Waitlist procedures.
CHAPTER 18 - MAINSTREAM VOUCHER PROGRAM (CARES) - Added
