INTRODUCTION
Mission Statement:
Our goal is to provide decent, safe and sanitary rental housing for eligible families and to
provide opportunities, promote self-sufficiency and economic independence for Section 8
participants.
To achieve this mission, we will:
- Recognize residents as our ultimate customer
- Improve Public Authority (PHA) management and service delivery efforts
through effective and efficient management
- Seek problem -solving partnerships with residents, landlords, community and
government leadership
- Apply limited PHA resources to the effective efficient management and
operation of the Section 8 program
The purpose of this administrative plan is to establish guidelines for PHA staff to follow
in determining eligibility for Section 8 programs. The basic guideline for this plan is
governed by the requirements of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), with latitude for local policies and procedures. The policies and procedures
governing admissions and continued occupancy are outlined in the plan and these
requirements are binding upon applicants, residents, landlords and PHA.
Notwithstanding the above, changes in applicable federal law or regulations shall
supersede provisions in conflict with this policy.
Federal Regulations shall mean those found in Section 24CFR (Code of Federal
Regulations)
1. Outreach - It shall be the policy of the Public Housing Agency (PHA) to
aggressively promote the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Family Self -Sufficiency
(FSS) and Homeownership Option through public service announcements, brochures,
local radio and advertising in the local daily and weekly newspapers. In addition, all
public service agencies in the Paducah area will receive information circulars describing
these programs and who may receive benefits. Informational materials will be circulated
among local Realtors, private rental property owners, and rental property managers for the
purpose of soliciting participation. If the Agency needs additional listings, it may send
staff members into the community meet one on one with citizens or groups for the
purpose of outreach. This Agency will actively promote the availability of housing
assistance to eligible applicants by contact with local media, brochures, and community
organizations. In order to target the "least likely to apply" applicants, this Agency will
release flyers and brochures to be distributed through places of employment, union
offices, neighborhood groups, churches, and commercial establishments if there is a need
for outreach demonstrated by our application pool.

may disapprove a lease under the voucher program if the rent causes the tenant payment
to exceed 40% of adjusted income or if the rent is not reasonable. Documentation of such
will be presented to the owner of said property for an attempt to renegotiate a reasonable
rent. The PHA will determine that the rent to owner is a reasonable rent in comparison to
rent for other comparable unassisted units. To assure this the PHA will consider the
location, quality, size, unit type, and age of the subject unil and any amenities, housing
services, maintenance and utilities to be provided by the owner in accordance with the
lease. The PHA will certify and document on a case by case basis that the approved rent
does not exceed rents charged for comparable unassisted units. The bottom line is that
the PHA will approach each unit and assure that the rent the assisted family pays is fair
for the product received. To do this after comparing all available data on our market we
will ask ourselves the following question; If you were in the market to lease a unit, would
you be willing to spend your own money to lease this unit in this location? If the answer
is yes and there is adequate documentation to support the decision, the lease should be
approved. If the person performing the rent test cannot support the rent request
(including that they believe the unit to be worth the amount requested and their
willingness to answer yes to the above question) the lease will not be approved.

and all utility checks to the resident by the 5th working day of each month.

The PHA reserves the right to deny or terminate assistance to the family, and will
deny homeownership assistance to the family, in accordance with HUD
regulations governing any failure to comply with family obligation, mortgage
default or failure to demonstrate that the family has conveyed title to the home as
required, or the family has moved from the home within the period established or
approved.
Informal Hearings
An informal hearing will be offered for participants who are being terminated
from the Program because of the family's action or failure to act as provided in 24
CFR 982.552. The rules and procedures are set forth in the Section 8
Administrative Plan, entitled "'Grievance Procedures".
Occupancy Standards
The PHA will determine the occupancy standard applicable to each
homeownership family to be utilized in the issuance of the payment standard size
for lease -to -own calculations and mortgage calculations by consideration of the
following:
a) size or anticipated size of family
b) provision of a valued and salable asset
c) analysis of local marketable units
d) availability of necessary funding
It is the objective of the PHA to provide the homeowner with the opportunity to
purchase local marketable units. In some cases, the homeowner would only
qualify (under the regular Voucher Program occupancy standards) for a payment
standard that would limit the size of the unit purchased. Under the HCV
homeownership program, an analysis will be done on the local market to insure
that the homeowner is provided adequate assistanx to purchase a valued and
salable property which in some cases will equate to adjusting the payment
standard size above the occupancy standard of the regular voucher program.
Non -Routine Maintenance/Replacement Reserve
The PHA will encourage a non -routine maintenance and replacement reserve
account for each homebuyer receiving home ownership assistance under the
Section 8 Homeownership Program. The account shall be maintained by either
the Kentucky Housing Corporation or mortgage company/designee for the benefit
of the individual homeowner.
46
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
The reserve accounts will insure that the homebuyer Dave sufficient funds on hand
for major repairs and systems replacement.
Each home buyer receiving homeownership assistmce with a reserve account
option will be required to deposit (minimum) $5D,00 monthly to an escrow
account to be used to pay for reasonable and non -routine maintenance or repair
expenses, or systems replacement; and in the case of a disabled household, the
cost of modification of a unit necessary as a reasonably: accommodation. Families
may access the account with a written request to M, 3, which will include the
nature of the repair or replacement, bids or estimates, or actual receipts for work
that has already been completed. The PHA will male the final determination on
approval of account withdrawals and shall submit request to servicing agent for
release of funds.
Participation in the monthly non -routine maintenanc./replacement reserve escrow
program is required (unless otherwise not offered by mortgage company or
designee) by all participants receiving Section 8 Horieownership assistance from
the City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Program after ivlayl, 2008. Participation
by pre-existing homeowners receiving Section 8 Homeownership assistance will
be by voluntary written agreement by existing homeowner and will be subject to
all provisions under mandatory requirement. The length of individual participation
is based on the length of assistance provided by the PHA. After completion of a
ten (10) year term of home ownership assistance and obligation, the family may
make a written request for the remaining escrow account balance or request it be
applied toward the principle balance of their mortgage.
Withdrawal of the funds will be contingent on:
1. Good standing with homeownership program and mortgage obligations.
2. The expense being approved by the PHA. Such expenses are for the
replacement of the heating system, air conditioning, water heater, refrigerator,
appliances (funds cannot be used to purchase the initial appliance), and home
repairs (not including decorations). It may not be used for additions to the unit or
for decorative landscaping.
Disbursements
In order to access maintenance/replacement reserve funds, a written request must
be submitted to the PHA stating the estimate of cost and purpose the funds will be
used.
Homeownership Option 10 Year Asset. Exclusion
47
2095 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
Federal Regulations 24 CFR 5.603 (b) Net Family Assets exempts the home
purchased with voucher assistance from being counted as an asset for the first 10
years after closing. The PHA will utilize the following method in calculating
home value assets after the initial 10 year exemption exclusion:
Market Value minus Loan Value equals Asset Value
Market Value will be obtained by utilizing the assessed value of property as
provided by the McCracken County Property Evaluation office and reduced
(adjusted) by 10% (estimated cost of expense to convert to cash)
Loan Value will be determined by the amount obtained from mortgage company
to pay-off loan in full effective on re -certification date or other designated date, if
pay-off amount is unobtainable, mortgage balance m re -certification date or other
designated date will be utilized as loan value.
42. Project -Based Voucher Program

exceed twenty percent of the total number of ACC authorized HCV units of rental
assistance at any time (I 10 units maximum). The PHA shall enter into contracts
for PBV assistance based on rules stated below and JUD regulations published in
Federal Register 24 CRF Part 983 including all subsequent corrections and
amendments.

43. (VAWA) Violence Against Women and Department of
Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005
On January 5, 2006, President Bush signed into law the `'Violence Against Women and
Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005" (PL.Nic Law 109-162). The law
became effective that same day. In addition to reauthorizing many programs at the
Department of Justice, the bill reauthorizes and expands provisions of the Violence
Against Women Act (VAWA), which was originally enacted in 1994,
The taw defines domestic violence as "felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence
committed by a current or former spouse of the victim, by a person with whom the victim
shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabitated with the
victim as a spouse, by a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the
domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction receiving grant monies, or by any
other adult person against a victim who is protected from that person's acts under the
domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction receiving grant monies." Dating
violence, sexual assault, and stalking are included in the definition of domestic vioience.
The most significant affect the law has on Section S participants and applicants for rental
assistance is that an individual's status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault or stalking is NOT an appropriate basis for denial of assisted housing. The
new lave does NOT change existing eligibility and continuing occupancy requirements.
Domestic Violence victims must still otherwise qualify for admission to and continuing
participation in assisted housing programs.
The City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Program is committed to these victims, as well as
members of their immediate family, and to compliance with the VAWA law and will
expand the applicant preference include victims of dating violence, sexual assault and
stalking. The PHA will require a certification as to the incident(s). See Exhibit C.
50
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
The PHA shall keep all information and certification(s) obtained by the PHA about a
victim's status confidential. The information will not be entered into any shared database
or provided to any related entity. However, the PHA may disclose the information if the
victim requests or consents to the disclosure in writing; the information is required for
use in termination proceedings related to whether the incident or incidents in question
qualify as a serious or repeated violation of the lease or crirnirnal activity directly relating
to domestic violence, dating violence or stalking; or is othendse required by law.
The following offenses are grounds for denial or termination of assistance for
applicant/participant:
a Criminal activity directly relating to domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, or stalking, engaged in by a member of a
tenant's household or any guest or other person under the tenant's
control, shall not be cause for termination of the tenancy or
occupancy rights, if the tenant or immediate member of the
tenant's family is a victim of that domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault or stalking;
b Notwithstanding subparagraph a above, a PHA or owner under this
section may bifurcate a lease under this section, in order to evict,
remove, or terminate assistance to any individual who is a tenant or
lawful occupant and who engages is criminal acts of physical
violence against family members or others, without evicting,
removing, terminating assistance to, or otherwise penalizing the
victim of such violence who is also a tenant or lawful occupant:
c Nothing in subparagraph a may be crostrved to limit the authority
of a PHA or owner, when notified, to honor court orders
addressing rights of access to or control of the property, including
civil protection orders issued to protect the victim and issued to
address the distribution or possession of property among the
household members in cases where a family breaks up;
d Nothing in subparagraph a limits any otherwise available authority
of a PHA to terminate participant assistance for any violation of a
lease not premised on the act or acts or violence in question against
the tenant or a member of the tenant's household, provided that the
PHA does not subject an individual w`no is or has been a victim of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to a
more demanding standard than other tenants in determining
whether to evict or terminate;
51
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
e Nothing in paragraph a may be construed to limit the authority of a
PHA or owner to terminate the tenancy of any tenant if the PHA or
owner can demonstrate an actual and imminent threat to other
tenants or those employed at or providing service to the property if
that tenant's tenancy is not terminated; and
f Nothing is this section shall be construed to supersede any
provision of any Federal, State, or local law that provides greater
protection than this section for victims of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
g The PHA shall not terminate or refuse to renew the voucher due to
an incident or incidents of actual or threatened domestic violence,
dating violence, or stalking. These incident(s) will not be
construed as a serious or repeated violation(s) of the Housing
Choice Voucher program by the victim or threatened victim of that
violence and will not be good cause for terminating the Voucher of
the victim of such violence.

44. Limited English Proficient (LEP) Policy
It is a policy of the City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Program (PHA) to take reasonable
steps to ensure meaningful access to PHA programs and activities by limited English
proficient (LEP) persons, taking into account the proportion of LEP persons in the
eligible service population, the frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact
with the program, the nature and importance of the service provided by the program, and
the available resources.
In all housing programs it provides, PHA complies with applicable federal and state law,
including, without limitation:
Title VI of Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR
part 1, "Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development—Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964"; Executive Order 13166.
In addition, PHA complies with the related rules, regulations and procedures prescribed
under the above-mentioned federal and state law.
Definition of LEP Person
Persons who do not speak English as their primary language and who have a limited
ability to read, write, speak, or understand English can be LEP.
Identifying LEP Individuals who Need Lan; nage Assistance
PHA shall take reasonable steps to identify LEP persons served or encountered using the
following methods:
Using the Census Bureau "I speak" cards to invite LEP persons to identify their
language needs to staff;
• Posting notices in PHA office listing commonly encountered languages and
notifying LEP persons of available language assistance;
Requesting applicants and participants to list their primary language and need for
interpreter on applications and eligibility statements;
• Tracking the LEP information electronically;
55
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
Language Assistance Measures
Types of Language Services Available
PHA shall take reasonable steps to provide oral and written language services as
described in this section. In determining what language services should be provided, PHA
shall consider the following factors:
A. The number or Proportion of LEP Persons Served or Encountered in the Eligible
Service Population -
PHA shall examine its prior experiences with LEP encounters to determine the breadth
and scope of language -services needed. PHA shall also consult other data to refine or
validate its prior experience, including the latest census data for the area served.
B. The Frequency With Which LEP Individuals Come Into Contact With the Program
PHA shall take reasonable steps to assess, as accurately as passible, the frequency of
contact with LEP persons from different language groups. The more frequent the contact
with a particular language group, the more likely that enhanced language services in that
language are needed. Less frequent contact with different language groups may suggest a
different and less intensified solution.
C. The Nature and Importance of the Program, Activity, or Semice provided by the
Program
The more important the activity, information, service, or program, or the greater the
possible consequences of the contact to the LEP persons, the more likely language
services may be needed.
D. The Resources Available to PHA and Costs
While it is PHA's policy to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to PHA
programs and activities by LEP persons, the availability of resources may limit the
provision of language services in some instances. "Reasonable steps" may cease to be
reasonable where the costs imposed substantially exceed the benefits. PHA shal I explore
the most cost-effective means of delivering competent and accurate language services
before limiting services due to resource concerns.
Oral Language Services (Interpretation.)
PHA shall use contract interpreters and bilingual PHA or C'ily of Paducah staff to provide
the services. Where LEP persons so desire, they can use, at their own expense, an adult
interpreter of their own choosing (whether a professional interpreter, family member, or
friend) in place of or as a supplement to the free language services offered by PHA. PHA
56
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
may, at its discretion, choose to provide their own Interpreter :n addition to the one used
by the family,
PHA shall take reasonable steps to ensure competency of the language service provider.
When providing oral language assistance, PHA shall use thefollowing general criteria to
ensure effective communication with LEP persons:
Demonstrated proficiency in and ability to communicate information accurately in
both English and in the other language and identify and employ the appropriate
mode of interpreting;
• Knowledge in both languages of any specialized terms or concepts peculiar to
PHA's program or activity and of any particular vocabulary and phraseology used
by the LEP person;
• Understanding of and following confidentiality and impartiality rules;
Awareness of '`regionalisms" used by the LEP person;
• Understanding of and adherence to their role as interpreters without deviating into
a role as counselor, legal advisor, or other roles.
When interpretation is needed and is reasonable, it shall be provided in a timely manner
so as to avoid the effective denial of a benefit or service. Where access to or exercise of a
benefit or service is not effectively precluded by a reasonable delay, the language
assistance may be reasonably delayed.
Written Language Services (Translation.)
PHA shall take reasonable steps to provide written translations of vital documents that list
program rules and instructions for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes 5%
or 28 persons, whichever is less, of program applicants/participants. Whether or not a
document (or information it solicits) is vital may depend upon tl:e importance of the
program, information, encounter, or service involved, and the consequence to the LEP
person if the information in question is not provided accurately or in a timely manner. For
example, applications for certain recreational activities would not generally be considered
vital documents, whereas applications for housing could be considered vital.
All documents that require action from an applicant or participant shall include a
statement in the languages of eligible groups reading "Important information about your
housing? If you need assistance, please contact us immediately." PHA shall take
reasonable steps to provide oral interpretation of other documents, if needed.
For all documents available in the languages of eligible groups. the English version of the
documents shall include a statement on the bottom in the languages of eligible groups
reading `This form is available in (language) upon request."
57
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
For LEP language groups that constitute less than of program applicants, participants or
residents, PHA will not translate written materials, but shall take reasonable steps to
provide oral interpretation of the written materials upon requcst.
As with oral interpreters, PHA will take reasonable steps to ensure competency of
translators of written documents. Where legal or other vital documents are involved, PHA
shall make a reasonable effort to use certified translators.
Telephone Services
When calls are received by an LEP applicant, participant or resident, PHA staff will make
every effort to determine the language being spoken by the caller. Calls will be forwarded
to PHA or City staff who speak the same language as the caller for assistance. If PHA or
City staff are not available at the time of the call, the caller N ill be requested to call back
when an interpreter can be available. An interpreter will be secured within a reasonable
time frame.
On -Site Visitors
When an LEP applicant, participant or resident comes to the PHA office, PHA staff will
make every effort to determine the language being spoken by the caller by using the "I
Speak" cards. If PHA or City staff who speak the language are available to assist the
applicant, participant or resident, they will do so, either in person or via telephone. If
PHA or City staff are not available at the time of the visit, the person will be requested to
come back when an interpreter can be available. An interpre!er will be secured within a
reasonable time frame.
Written Communications
Correspondence received in languages other than English will be translated by PHA or
City staff who speak the language, where available, or by PHA's contracted translation
agency. Responses will be translated into the same language as the letter that was
received.
Training Staff
PHA will ensure that staff knows the obligation to provide meaningful access to
information and services to LEP persons. PHA will provide training to ensure that:
• Staff is competent on LEP policies and procedures; and
• Staff having contact with the public is trained to work effectively with
interpreters.
The training will be included as a part of departmental orientation for new employees.
58
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
Staff will be provided with listing of forms available in languages other than English and
with a list of bilingual City staff.
Providing Notice to LEP Persons
PHA shall provide a notice to LEP persons of the availability of free language assistance
that ensures meaningful access to PHA's programs and services. Examples of notification
may include:
• Posting signs in common areas, offices, and anywhere applications are taken. The
signs shall be translated into the most common languages encountered;
• Stating in outreach documents that language services are available. These
statements shall be translated into the most common larngiiages encountered;
• Working with grassroots and faith -based community organizations and other
stakeholders to inform LEP persons of PHA's services, including the availability
of language assistance services;
Monitoring and Updating LEP Plan
PHA will monitor the implementation of the LEP plan on an ongoing basis to determine
whether new documents, programs, services, and activities need to be made accessible for
LEP persons. In addition, PHA will review its LEP plan annGally to evaluate the
following information:
• Proportion of LEP persons in the eligible service population;
• Frequency of encounters with LEP language groups;
• Nature and importance of activities to LEP persons;
• Availability of resources;
• Whether existing language assistance meets the needs of LEP persons;
• Whether staff knows and understands LEP plan and its implementation.
49. Reduction of Families Due to Reduced Funding
In the event of a reduction of federal funding, the PHA will utilize a family reduction plan
as follows:
1. Terminate HAP contracts for families that are receiving the least rental assistance
not to exceed 5% of total families assisted, if reduction is not adequate;
2. Tenninate HAP contracts for families based upon the most recent executed rental
agreements to the extent that remedies reduction forecast.
a. All terminated families due to reduced funding will be offered preference
placement on waiting list to be re -assisted when sdequate funding exist.
59
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
50. Management Assessment Objectives
The PHA policies and practices are consistent with the areas of measurement
for the following HUD SEMAP indicators.
➢ Selection from the Waiting List
➢ Reasonable Rent
➢ Determination of Adjusted Income
➢ Utility Allowance Schedule
➢ HQS Quality Control Inspections
➢ HQS Enforcement
➢ Expanding Housing Opportunities
➢ FMR/exception rent & Payment Standards
➢ Annual Re-examinations
➢ Correct Tenant Rent Calculations
➢ Pre -Contract HQS Inspections
➢ Annual HQS Inspections
➢ Lease -up
➢ Family Self -Sufficiency Enrollment and Escrow Account Balances
A qualified person will perform supervisory quality control reviews on the
following SEMAP indicators:
➢ Selection from the waiting list
➢ Rent reasonableness
➢ Determination of adjusted income
➢ HQS Enforcement
➢ HQS Quality Control
➢ Annual Re-examinations
➢ Correct Tenant Rent Calculations
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
➢ Pre -Contract HQS Inspections
The annual sample of files and records will be drawn in an unbiased manner,
that is documented.
The minimum sample size to be reviewed for each SEMAP indicator is provided
in 24 CFR Part 985, and will relate directly to each factor.
51. Supported Programs (SP)
The PHA seeks to support and promote area programs designed to
provide coordinated services to residents who are victims of domestic violence
and/or those who are in pursuit an education by enrolling in a post -secondary
educational facility as a full-time student. Any HCV participant in the supported
program shall retain their HCV eligibility beyond ending participation in the
supported program unless termination of assistance is based upon violation of
Family Obligations of the HCV program. Participants that voluntarily withdraw or
are terminated with cause under SPs shall not be eligible for application to HCV
until (2) two years from last HCV assistance.
Supported Programs currently promoted by the PHA:
• Scholar House of Paducah
• Merryman House Initiative (domestic violence program)
52. Conversion HCWs
The PHA will administer conversion/enhanced vouchers consistent with
24 CFR 982.201(b)(1)(iii) and any or related subsequent HUD regulations.
Enhanced vouchers are tenant -based assistance. Households issued enhanced
vouchers may elect to use the assistance in the same property (as long as the
property continues as rental housing and the tenancy can be approved in
accordance with the enhanced voucher policies), and in all cases may choose to
move from the property immediately. There is no guarantee to the owner that
any enhanced voucher assistance will be used at the property for any period of
time. Enhanced vouchers are different from regular housing choice vouchers
(HCVs) in two major respects. If the family remains in the same property, a
higher "enhanced" payment standard is used to determine the amount of subsidy
when the gross rent exceeds the normally applicable PHA payment standard,
and the family must continue to contribute towards rent at least the amount the
family was paying for rent on the date of the mortgage maturity, rental assistance
contract expiration, or affordability restriction expiration that removes the
affordability restrictions at the property.
32
2015 City of Paducah Section 8 Housing Administrative Plan
The PHA must determine the eligibility of all at -risk households identified by the
owner. For purposes of determining income eligibility, the PHA uses the
applicable low income limits (not the very low income limits).

PED contracted with B, H. Green in the amount of $1.15 million to renovate the former Commerce
Center for use by Teletech Industries. A grant in the amount of $ l million was received for the
project, leaving a total of $150,000 to be paid for renovations. P —�D has requested that the City of
Paducah make a contribution in the amount of $75,000 to assist witli the cost of the renovation.
The renovation of this building has allowed Teletech to open a second call center in Paducah, bringing
employment to the region, resulting in jobs paying a minimum of M.50 per hour, plus benefits. The
City of Paducah and McCracken County formerly partnered to construct and own a new building in the
Information Age Park that serves as the primary location for Teletech in Paducah.
The money for this contribution will come from the City's Half Cent Payroll Tax Investment bund, to
be drawn from a prior year's appropriation that was placed in a Project Account.
