RESULTS OF SECTION EIGHT MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (SEMAP)
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a program to assess the management ability of housing authorities. Housing authorities that achieve a score of 90% or higher are deemed to be “High Performers.” A score of 61 percent to 89 percent results in a “Standard Performer” designation. Those with a score of 60 percent and less are considered “Troubled.” HUD looks at 14 indicators (e.g., managing the waiting list, conducting housing quality inspections, calculating income, and the lease-up rate). The Housing Authority was designated a High Performer for the past three years.
Staff is proud to report that the Housing Authority has achieved High Performer status for performance last fiscal year. The Housing Authority received 130 of a possible 135 points for a score of 96 percent. The Housing Authority received all points possible for all indicators with the exception of Indicator 3: Determination of Adjusted Income for which we received 15 of 20 based on a randomly selected quality control sample of 27 files indicating that annual income, utility allowance and HAP amounts were correctly calculated and verified in 81 percent (22 of 27) of files. Receipt of all 20 points for this indicator required verification of correct calculations in 90 percent of files reviewed.
