NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Allegheny County Housing Authority is proposing the following amendment to its 2018 Agency Plan (annual and 5-year plans), Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (“ACOP”), and Administrative Plan, that once approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), will guide the ACHA in serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families during the 5-year period beginning October 1, 2018.
Under the Approved Annual PHA Plan – Form 50075-ST, Section B. Annual Plan Elements, b.2 New Activities, adding the language of proposed disposition of Allegheny County Housing Authority’s public housing developments at AMP 705 single family Scattered Sites, AMP 820 Twin Oaks Condominiums, Penn Hills Scattered Sites (part of AMP 702) and Mifflin Crossing (part of AMP 403), for the repositioning of the assets through Notice PIH 2018-04 (HA) – Demolition and/or disposition of public housing property, eligibility for tenant protection vouchers and associated requirements. The proposed disposition will allow the Allegheny County Housing Authority to evaluate and determine if disposing of the AMP to a related instrumentality or affiliate will provide economic viability to the AMP. By improving the economic conditions at the AMP, the Allegheny County Housing Authority will be able to continue its mission of providing decent, safe and quality affordable housing to its residents.
The proposed changes and all supporting documents are available for review and inspection by the public at the principal office of ACHA located at 625 Stanwix Street, 12th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. A public hearing has been scheduled to present the changed 2018 Agency Plan, as well as the proposed changes to the 2018 ACOP and Administrative Plan, and to allow public participation:
