Overview About the Jurisdiction's Public Housing Agency HACSA is charged with Lane County's housing and related community services policies and programs. In this capacity, it serves as the housing authority for the Cities of Eugene and Springfield and Lane County. Public Housing and Section 8 Tenant-Based Programs HACSA owns, manages, and maintains 708 public housing units for Iow-income households. Of those, 372 are designated elderly/disabled and the remaining are family units. In addition, HACSA owns and manages a 25-unit project-based Section 8 complex and two HUD multi-family complexes (132 units), and a 90-unit affordable housing complex. HACSA also operates the Section 8 Voucher Program serving approximately 2,600 Iow- income households throughout Lane County. The program allows clients to choose any unit that meets the program requirements within Lane County. Tenants pay a portion of the rent, based on their income, and HACSA provides a rental assistance payment directly to private landlords participating in the program. Identification of the Number of Public Housing Units Currently Assisted with Public Funds There are 485 public housing units in the Eugene-Springfield jurisdiction: · McKenzie Village - 172 units in Springfield · Scattered Sites - 10 units in Springfield, 93 in Eugene · Pengra Court - 22 units in Springfield · Parkview Terrace - 150 units in Eugene · Maple Wood Meadows - 38 units in Eugene Conditions of Units Currently Assisted with Public Funds The public housing units in the Eugene-Springfield jurisdiction are in very good physical condition. The condition of the units is evaluated under HUD's Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS), and because HACSA has always received a score of 90 or above, HUD considers HACSA to be a high performer. Restoration and Revitalization Needs of Units Currently Assisted with Public Funds HACSA is currently in the process of conducting a new Needs Assessment that includes a detailed survey of all public housing residents to pinpoint deficiencies and plan for corrections. The results will be included in HACSA's rolling Five-Year Capital Fund Plan next year. As part of the current five-year plan (from fiscal year 2004 through fiscal year 2008), the scheduled improvements include the continuation of the reconstruction of the units at Laurelwood Homes in Florence, which was initiated in 2001 and will be completed with funds from the 2006 grant.
