Transition To Site-Based Management Potential Impact on Our Customers SERVICES: This new funding formula may limit funding available for services beyond the essential property management functions. For example, our customers may experience a reduction in the following services: Elderly and disabled transportation Case management (Elderly/Disabled) Scholarship and Perfect Attendance Programs 26
Transition To Site-Based Management Potential Impact on Our Customers INCOME MIX: Currently 81% of SAHA’s new admissions in the public housing program are at 30% of AMI or below. HUD’s regulations provide that only 40% must be below 30% of AMI. PHAs may need to revise a site’s income mix (house fewer extremely low income families) to increase revenues. Each site must, at a minimum, break even financially; therefore, revenues and expenses will need to be managed to reach this objective. With these growing limitations on subsidy, programs such as Moving To Work and Family Self-Sufficiency become increasingly important tools to move residents up the income ladder, enabling them to pay more rent. 27
Transition To Site-Based Management Potential Impact on Our Employees As the transition to site-based management progresses, SAHA’s workforce will be streamlined through attrition. Moving forward, SAHA employees will need to be willing to: • Relocate to community sites • Increase efficiency • Expand skill sets • Multi-task • Cross train • Be flexible 28
Transition To Site-Based Management Site-based management is a HUD mandate. It represents a significant shift in the manner in which the industry operates. We will keep all of our stakeholders informed as this process moves forward. 29
