Draft Annual and 5-Year PHA Plans Available for Public Comment

Salem Housing Authority is pleased to present its draft Five-Year and Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plans, Capital Fund Program Plan, and Moving to Work (MTW) Supplement to the PHA Plan for public review and comment.

What is the PHA Plan?

The PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to public housing agency (PHA) policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. There are two parts to the PHA Plan: the 5-Year Plan, which each PHA submits to HUD once every 5th PHA fiscal year, and the Annual Plan, which is submitted to HUD every year by non-qualified agencies.

Salem Housing Authority is making these documents available for a period of no less than 45 days. Comments about the PHA Plans, Capital Fund Program Plan, and MTW Supplement will be accepted until July 8, 2024.

The Housing Authority Board of Commissioners will hold a Public Hearing to hear and discuss public comments on the Proposed PHA Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2029 and Annual Plan for 2024-2025 on Monday, July 8, 2024, at 6:00 pm. Meetings are hybrid (in person and virtual) at the City of Salem Council Chambers, 555 Liberty St. SE, Room 220, Salem, OR 97301. More information can be found here.
