Housing Authority Board

Every year, the Santa Monica Housing Authority (SMHA) is required to submit an Annual Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and every five years, SMHA must submit a 5-Year-Plan. Together, these documents are known as the Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan. The PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to SMHA's policies, programs, operations, and strategies for administering the HCV program and meeting local housing needs and goals. The Housing Authority Board meets to review and approve the Annual Plan and associated Administrative Plan once a year, and may meet additionally to consider proposed policy changes approximately once a year.
