II. Description of Capital Fund Program (CFP) 5 Year Action Plan Content

Capital Fund Program (CFP) 5-Year Action Plan Content: HANO has developed a draft CFP 5-Year Action Plan that describes the necessary capital improvements to ensure long-term physical and social viability of HANO s public housing developments. The Plan covers the period FFY 2016 FFY 2020 and will be updated yearly on a rolling basis. The cost estimate associated to each identified project was based on HANO s historical cost for similar projects and will not be finalized until HANO engages with an architectural and engineering firm. HANO was required to submit a 2016 CFP original plan that was based on the prior approved 5-Year PHA plan. All of the items identified in this CFP 5-Year Action Plan are subject to an environmental review that will be obtained. CFR Part 58 environmental clearances for BW Cooper, Iberville, Guste, and Fischer sites have been obtained and several others are in process. A supplemental clearance of additional funding may be required for projects previously cleared. HANO s Definition of Substantial Deviation and Significant Amendment or Modification is provided as an attachment. Section (iii) of the Definition identifies HANO s criteria for determining significant amendment or modification to the CFP 5-Year Action Plan. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF NEW ORLEANS Capital Fund Program (CFP) Submission V. Definition of Substantial Deviation and Significant Amendment or Modification

DEFINITION OF SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION AND SIFNIFICANT AMENDMENT OR MODIFICATION In accordance with HUD regulations in 24 CFR 903.7 (r) and 24 CFR 905.3, HANO has defined below the basic criteria that will be used for determining: (i) substantial deviation from its 5-Year Plan; (ii) significant amendment or modification to the 5-Year and Annual PHA Plans; and (iii) significant amendment or modification to the Capital Fund Program (CFP) 5-Year Action Plan. Prior to implementing changes that meet such criteria, HANO will submit for HUD s approval, a revised Plan(s) that meets full public process requirements including Resident Advisory Board review and consultation. HANO s criteria, as defined below, is applicable to all CFP components including: Capital Fund grants; Replacement Housing Factor (RHF) grants; Disaster Grants; Capital Fund Financing Program (CFFP) allocations; as well as any new or future formula components such as Demolition and Disposition Transitional Funding (DDTF). (i) Criteria for defining Substantial Deviation from the 5-Year Plan: A major change in the direction of HANO pertaining to its mission and goals would constitute a substantial deviation from the Agency s 5-Year Plan. Examples include the undertaking of new program activities, development strategies, or financing initiatives that do not otherwise further HANO s stated mission and goals as articulated in the 5-Year Plan. (ii) Criteria for defining Significant Amendment or Modification to the 5-Year and Annual PHA Plans: Changes to rent, admission policies, or organization of the waiting list(s) in the Public Housing Program that will impact more than 10% of applicants and/or households assisted under the Program. Changes to rent, admission policies, or organization of the waiting list(s) in the Housing Choice Voucher Program that will impact more than 10% of applicants and/or households assisted under the Program. Substantial changes to demolition, disposition, designated housing, homeownership, or conversion activities identified in the current HUD-approved Annual or 5-Year Plans. (iii) Criteria for defining Significant Amendment or Modification to the Capital Fund Program (CFP) 5- Year Action Plan: Proposed demolition, disposition, homeownership, Capital Fund financing, development, or mixed-finance proposals will be considered significant amendments to the CFP 5-Year Action Plan. Additions of non-emergency work items not included in the current CFP Annual Statement or CFP 5-Year Action Plan that exceed $3 million. (iv) Exceptions: Changes under the above definitions that are required due to HUD regulations, federal statutes, state or local laws/ordinances, or as a result of a declared national or local emergency will not be considered substantial deviation or significant amendment/modification. Changes under the above definitions which are funded by any source other than federal funds will not require Plan amendment or modification. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

In accordance with HUD regulations, HANO gives public housing residents an annual choice between incomebased rent and flat rent. Income based rent, referred to as the Total Tenant Payment (or TTP), is based on the family s anticipated gross annual income less any deductions that apply. In general, the TTP equals 30% of the tenant s monthly income. Flat rent is based on the market rent charged for comparable units in the private unassisted rental market. HANO is required to annually ensure that its flat rent amounts are not less than 80% of HUD s established Fair Market Rents (FMRs). Income-based rent is also annually reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in a household s income or deductions. At recertification, residents are individually informed about these options and elect to pay either income-based rent or flat rent. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

Date RAB Meeting Comments HANO Response 5/26/16 Isn t New Orleans the largest city with assisted affordable housing? Public Housing: No, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the largest public housing authority in North America with close to 178,000 units of public housing. By comparison, HANO currently has 2,006 units of public housing in its inventory. 5/26/16 Is there anyone to fight for over income families in instances where there is a mother of four who makes a small amount over income? 5/26/16 Do we have to stay with a greater number for HCV than Public Housing? Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program: Administering over 18,000 vouchers, HANO s HCV Program is the largest in the State of Louisiana. Nationally, NYCHA is the largest with over 86,000 vouchers. HANO is awaiting further regulatory guidance from HUD on the issue of over-income tenancy. We will engage with residents and stakeholders in addressing the overincome policy. In general, the trend from HUD has been to subsidize more Housing Choice vouchers than public housing units because public housing is more expensive to maintain and most PHAs are not receiving enough subsidy to operate without a deficit. This trend is reflected in HUD s May 2016 national program statistics which reported over 1,949,000 voucher-assisted families and 948,000 public housing assisted-families. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

Date RAB Meeting Comments HANO Response 5/26/16 We need to educate HCV residents about the program so that they can know their tenant rights. Some residents believe they have to pay for repairs to homes. A Fair Housing Workshop for tenants is scheduled for August 26, 2016, at 10 am. This is the first in a series to be scheduled throughout the year. Attendance is limited to the first 120 registrants due to space restrictions in the Board Room. This matter will be addressed, along with others. 5/26/16 Do debarred landlords have an opportunity to come back on the HCV program? Yes. The debarment period can be anywhere from one to three years, depending upon the severity of the infraction. However, debarment can be imposed for a longer period of time if it is determined that this action is necessary to protect the public interest. For more information, see Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations parts 180 and 2424. 5/26/16 If landlords are not debarred for life, then why are some residents debarred for life? (If residents are placed back on the waiting list after termination, then that could be waiting for life.) HUD regulations only require a lifetime ban on persons subject to lifetime registration as a sex offender, and those convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine. These are statutory regulations that can only be overturned by Congress. 5/26/16 How many new applicants on public housing and HCV waiting list? When we opened the HANO Scattered Sites and New Florida public housing waiting lists in February 2016, 10,322 households applied. There are approximately 29,000 applicants to the HCVP waiting list, with 24,202 having applied during the wait list opening February 29 March 4, 2016. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

Date RAB Meeting Comments HANO Response 5/26/16 With the new waiting lists, do seniors take preference? For Public Housing, there are several preferences that are used to determine the order of placement on the waiting list. The highest ranked preferences are for seniors, the disabled, and people working more than 30 hours per week. There is no preference for seniors on the HCVP waiting list. 5/26/16 Is Guste High Rise for elderly and disabled? Under HANO s current Designated Housing Plan (DHP), which is in effect for the 5-year period June 2012 through June 2017, there is a partial elderly-only designation of 335 units at Guste High Rise. The additional 50 units are designated for disabled households. The planned application will request elderly-only designation of all 385 Guste High Rise units. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

5/26/16 Are live-in aides allowed for elderly and disabled households? Public Housing: Yes. For public housing, the live-in aide must be determined by HANO or its Agents to be essential to the care and well-being of an elderly person, near-elderly person, or a person with disabilities. A livein aide may only reside in the unit with the approval of HANO or its Agents. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016) HCV: Yes. The household must provide documentation from a medical professional certifying the need for a live-in aide in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 982.316, which states: (a) A family that consists of one or more elderly, nearelderly or disabled persons may request that the PHA approve a live-in aide to reside in the unit and provide necessary supportive services for a family member who is a person with disabilities. The PHA must approve a live-in aide if needed as a reasonable accommodation in accordance with 24 CFR part 8 to make the program accessible to and usable by the family member with a disability. (See 982.402(b)(6) concerning effect of livein aide on family unit size.) (b) At any time, the PHA may refuse to approve a particular person as a live-in aide, or may withdraw such approval, if: (1) The person commits fraud, bribery or any other corrupt or criminal act in connection with any federal housing program; (2) The person commits drug-related criminal activity or violent criminal activity; or

Date RAB Meeting Comments 5/26/16 Has HANO considered implementing a homeownership program for Public Housing residents? 5/26/16 Why hasn t the homeownership program for Public Housing residents been successful? 5/26/16 If a resident had a voucher but it was converted to Public Housing, can they get their voucher back to become a homeowner? 5/26/16 My voucher was taken and it became public housing. Managers of public housing properties conveyed that I must convert my voucher to public housing if I wanted to stay on the public housing site. I did not understand that I could keep my voucher and become a homeowner. HANO Response (3) The person currently owes rent or other amounts to the PHA or to another PHA in connection with Section 8 or public housing assistance under the 1937 Act. The homeownership program started in 1999 specifically for public housing residents. In 2001, the homeownership program was expanded to include Section 8 residents. HANO S homeownership program is still available to all HANO assisted residents including public housing and section 8. Since its inception, there were approximately 31 public housing residents to purchase a home. Unlike Section 8 participants, public housing residents do not have the additional housing subsidy to use towards their mortgage payment. This is likely why the number of public housing residents is not as high as our Section 8 purchasers. We continue to market the program to all HANO-assisted residents. Anyone who willingly surrenders a voucher to reside in public housing must reapply to the voucher program during the next open enrollment period. Public housing managers are instructed to inform those holding a tenant based voucher to choose whether to keep the tenant based voucher, move to public housing, or receive a project based voucher which is limited to a specific project site. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

5/26/16 Some residents of public housing projects received their voucher back after a year. Why? In some instances, residents have returned to public housing communities utilizing Project Based Vouchers (PBV). These vouchers are administered in accordance with the following HUD regulation at 24 CFR 983.261, which states: (a) The family may terminate the assisted lease at any time after the first year of occupancy. The family must give the owner advance written notice of intent to vacate (with a copy to the PHA) in accordance with the lease. (b) If the family has elected to terminate the lease in this manner, the PHA must offer the family the opportunity for continued tenant-based rental assistance, in the form of either assistance under the voucher program or other comparable tenant-based rental assistance. (c) Before providing notice to terminate the lease under paragraph (a) of this section, a family must contact the PHA to request comparable tenant-based rental assistance if the family wishes to move with continued assistance. If voucher or other comparable tenant-based rental assistance is not immediately available upon termination of the family's lease of a PBV unit, the PHA must give the family priority to receive the next available opportunity for continued tenant-based rental assistance. (d) If the family terminates the assisted lease before the end of one year, the family relinquishes the opportunity for continued tenant-based assistance.

RAB Date Meeting Comments 5/26/16 Can you consider building homes for over income families living in public housing to purchase homes on the development site? HANO Response Our Homeownership Department works with HANO clients that are interested in becoming homeowners. The department screens and refers clients to HUDapproved homebuyer and financial fitness programs for the training and preparation required to meet first time homebuyer eligibility; and also assists families in accessing mortgage funding. 5/26/16 Please consider installing signage indicating major historic events that occurred at the site or historic figures that lived at the site. Over 150 affordable homeownership units have been constructed in conjunction with HANO redevelopment projects at Harmony Oaks, River Garden, Fischer, and Faubourg Lafitte. Additionally, an RFP was issued in January 2016 for a developer to partner with HANO in creating up to 100 homeownership opportunities at The Estates (formerly Desire). Your recommendations on historic preservation will be considered. To date, selected, original buildings have been retained and rehabilitated in the majority of HANO s redeveloped communities. Some HANO communities have also completed oral history projects. 5/26/16 HANOPD should be taught customer service. The HANOPD has received training in Community Policing by the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Office and the Housing Authority County of Los Angeles and has employed those lessons learned throughout the developments. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

Date RAB Meeting Comments HANO Response 5/26/16 Are Landlord workshops mandatory? The landlord workshops are not mandatory; however, the HCVP Department initiated a series of workshops with participating landlords to better inform them of program rules, regulations, and owner responsibilities. In addition, the HCVP Department coordinated a series of free training seminars conducted by the HUD Office of Fair Housing & Enforcement Division to keep landlords updated on various fair housing laws, including nondiscrimination, disparate impact, reasonable accommodation, and the Violence Against Women s Act. The HCVP Department also developed a training course on the Section 8 program, approved by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, to provide continuing education credits to members of the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors. These workshops, seminars and training courses will be offered throughout the upcoming program year to garner good participation. 5/26/16 Please show videos about tenant rights in the HCV waiting area. HANO staff has discussed producing such a video, and anticipates completing it by the end of this calendar year. 5/26/16 How many strikes do you give landlords before they are debarred from the program due to numerous violations? Presently, there is no set number of strikes. Decisions relative to debarment are made on a case-by-case basis. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

RAB Date Meeting Comments 5/26/16 Inspections staff are overlooking problems with homes that are not to code. The Fire Department found a number of code violations within months of an HCV inspection but HCV passed the home. The owner owns about 20 homes on the block and they all have code violations. HANO Response HCV Inspections staff is required to ensure that properties meet Section 8 Housing Quality Standards. These standards do inspect some areas that overlap with Fire codes but not all. For instance, Inspectors should notate electrical hazards, ensure dwelling unit is equipped with smoke alarms, and ensure fire exits. The Section 8 Housing Inspection Manual is available at the following link: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id =hqs_inspect_manual.pdf 5/26/16 Is CNI an acronym for Iberville? CNI stands for Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, a HUD program that funds the redevelopment of public housing and the comprehensive transformation of the surrounding neighborhood. HANO received a CNI grant from HUD for the redevelopment of Iberville, which is currently underway. 5/26/16 What happened to the scattered sites on North Rampart? The units at 2522 N. Rampart were demolished in 2015 and the vacant land was included in an RFP for redevelopment of the Bywater Scattered Sites. 5/26/16 Implement a training for resident leaders on tax credits? Resident leaders need more information to participate in decisions. Ensure all leaders know about the training. How soon can you get back with RAB regarding tax credit training? Asset Management, HCVP, and Development are looking to provide an overview training of LIHTC development and property management at a near-term RAB meeting, likely in August.

The HANOPD hotline is also listed in the HANO newsletters. The HANOPD hotline number is 504-670-3372. 5/26/16 How often is HANO s auction of vehicles? HANO had an auction of surplus inventory in 2015 which included obsolete vehicles. We do not have regularly scheduled auctions, but will plan a future auction when we have a significant amount of vehicles to dispose. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

RAB Date Comment Letter 5/26/16 COMMENT LETTER C. WIGGINS May 26, 2016 MEMORANDUM To: Shelly Smith HANO STRATEGIC PLAN DEPARTMENT Fr: Cynthia Wiggins Guste Homes RMC Re: Comments on HANO 5 Year Plan. After review of the HANO Five Year Plan we submit the below comments: * On page 2 of the HUD form 50075 Guste HR the document indicate $100,000 for interior unit repair, common and administrative space, roof and exterior etc repairs with an original allocation of $100,000 however revised to $50,000. Please explain why and what impact would this allocation make against the description of major work that is not minor. The roof as listed on our list for Capital needs indicates replacement of the roof, electrical l replace, mechanical replacements with the broiler room, chillers, plumbing etc which would far exceed the revised cost. The allocated amount would not begin to address the badly needed interior upgrades. We would also like to know if the needs are going to be prioritize as per our recommendation? We would also like to know what roof repairs HANO is proposing with the above amount. HANO Response Capital Funds may be fungible from one year to another. Subsequent to the $300,000 cooling tower replacement completed in 2015 and the $750,000 rooftop air conditioner replacement scheduled to begin in 2016 with CFP FFY 2014 and 2015 monies, the FFY 2016 monies were allocated to the Guste I portion of the site. The description of work is a general scope that provides flexibility to address a variety of activities that could be undertaken. The replacement of the Guste HR roof is estimated at $225,000 and is included in the FFY 2017 budget. The remaining $125,000 (FFY 2016 and 2017) can be used for additional mechanical replacements as prioritized by the property manager. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

* On page 2 Guste I; you've indicated funding will be available for exterior painting and HVAC upgrades with an allocated budget of $221,427.00. Can you provide us with an item allocation cost for review. Based on our cost estimate submitted to HANO the exterior painting is approximately $150,000.00. * On page 2 Guste I; you've indicated funding will be available for repair/remove existing concrete and landscaping with a funding amount of $75,000; we have very limited concrete repair as this function is performed prior to REAC every year using operating dollars due to the RMC not being able to access capital funds. We're asking that HANO revise its plan to indicated the $75,000 will be used for roof repair i.e. missing shingles, repair of siding various areas. * On Page 2 Guste site; there is a $50,000 revised amount for repair/removal existing concrete as stated above we ask for preventative maintenance service on the solar panel in Guste II. * In the plan HANO indicate in its supporting pages {physical needs work statement) that there was to be site work upgrade, we respectfully request the plan is revised to address the poor lighting in the park at Guste II. The fence need to be replaced and the play equipment upgraded. * HANO has indicated that site work/concrete repairs will be needed in 2019, please see bullet 3 above regarding concrete repair. In 2019 we're asking for upgrades to the park on M.L. King and Liberty. Approximately $200,000 is included in the plan for the portion of the painting scope attributable to the public housing units only. The tax credit units will be funded from another source. The cost of the project was estimated by using the unit price of a similar scope being undertaking at The Estates. The condition of the concrete was identified in the Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) and previous REAC inspections. If Operating Funds are sufficient to address all of the issues, the Capital Funds can be fungible to other projects. Preventative maintenance is an Operating cost that should be charged to the property. However, if capital repairs are needed for the solar panel system at Guste II, HANO can amend the project description. FFY 2018 includes $50,000 for this purpose. The condition of the concrete was identified in the PNA and previous REAC inspections. If Operating Funds are sufficient to address all of the issues, the Capital Funds can be fungible to other projects. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

* In 2020 what do you mean extraordinary maintenance at a cost of $35,161 for what? CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016) The amount for Guste III extraordinary maintenance costs in FY 2020 is a placeholder that allows HANO the flexibility to address emergency issues that may arise. * What is a PNA report? PNA stands for Physical Needs Assessment. HUD requires that each PHA conduct a Physical Needs Assessment every 5 years. HANO s most recent PNA was completed in early 2015. * What relocation will HANO be performing in 2017 Our Client Services Department provides relocation assistance to residents displaced from or returning to HANO sites undergoing construction or rehabilitation. We are currently assisting former Iberville residents returning to Bienville Basin and will continue into 2017 as additional phases of Bienville Basin are completed. Relocation assistance will also be provided to eligible residents returning to the new Florida and Guste III developments. We have reviewed the objective of HANO and have the following comments. * We believe that in your statement second paragraph there need to an inclusion for working low income families who are struggling to pay rent due to rent increases. It is our opinion with the development of the new affordable housing working families who are not subsidize are forced to live in housing that does not meet the UPS standards. Private property owners who are not HANO landlords don't comply with those standards and as such those individuals not only are faced with high rents but high utilities. There should be language in the document to speak to that issue and not just the group you reference. The need for affordable housing in New Orleans is well documented. While HANO focuses on those housing programs that we administer Public Housing and HCV we also work closely with other partners including the Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance and the City of New Orleans to ensure that we are part of a comprehensive strategy to address housing needs in our city. Please see HousingNOLA: 10 Year Strategy and Implementation Plan for a More Equitable New Orleans at http://housingnola.org/main/home for more information.

* Guste has submitted and respond to request for comments from HUD regarding over income families and smoke free public housing propose rules. We reserve our right to participate and request copies of HANO comments if submitted. * In the agency plan page 18 "designated Housing for elderly and or disable families", our question here is not regarding designated elderly designation for elderly families but for seniors, we've requested that HANO place the elderly designation back on the Guste Homes Senior facility to no avail for the past ten years, can you please explain why since HANO has developed other elderly housing at several of its mix income communities. As stated in previous request for the placement of the designation on the facility the mixing of senior with middle age adults under 62 is unpopular among senior. Our past experience with complaints, incidents and current issues has clearly proven to us that these two life styles do not work in facilities such as the senior property here at Guste. Is HANO going to petition HUD to place the elderly designation back on the Guste Senior facility as per our request and HANO commitment sixteen years ago when they indicated that would. Please note the designation was remove due to lost of housing for single mid age adults that were disable and or handicap. HANO is awaiting further regulatory guidance from HUD regarding over-income tenancy and smoke free public housing. As we work on these policy issues, we will consult with our residents and stakeholders. As background, the Guste High Rise was originally constructed for mixed-population occupancy by both elderly and non-elderly disabled residents. Under HANO s 2001 Designated Housing Plan (DHP), the 385-unit Guste High Rise received its initial elderly only designation from HUD for occupancy by seniors ages 62 and over. In accordance with HUD regulations, DHPs are in effect for five years. Following Hurricane Katrina and prior to HANO s major mixed-income public housing redevelopment, HUD would no longer approve the designation of all 385 Guste High Rise units as elderly-only because of the loss of UFAS accessible units in HANO s overall inventory. Under HANO s 2007 DHP, HUD approved only 244 of the Guste High Rise Units as elderly-only; and Under HANO s 2012 DHP, 335 Guste High Rise units were approved for elderly-only designation. With the planned 2017 DHP application, HANO is optimistic that because of the increase in UFAS accessible units throughout its redeveloped communities, HUD may once again approve the elderly-only designation of all 385 Guste Rise units. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

*The date on page 19 is wrong under Guste Homes. * Based on the information submit for review there is approximately 161 vacant PBV units, can you explain why especially with the demand for affordable units? Who manages this area of the HANO operation and why want HANO consider allowing Signature Communities certified their own applicants application with HANO certifying the 50058 income verification? We would also like to know why HANO has not consider and or allow residents to apply for housing at the complex of their choosing? We believe that sending them to areas of the city is counterproductive especially with the knowing that people from New Orleans is territorial. In the HUD Plan template dates are generally captured in the following format dd/mm/yy. Therefore, the day is placed before the month. As an example, 30/11/16 reflects November 30, 2016. Six (6) of the 38 Project Based Voucher (PBV) properties had multiple vacancies due to various circumstances (rehabilitation construction, intent to remove units from contract, etc.), thus the reason for the seemingly high number of vacancies. In fact, 50% of the total 167 PBV vacancies were attributed to those six properties. HCVP staff surveyed the property owners in April 2016 to identify issues with the referral process and ways HANO could help fill vacancies. The HCVP Department sends several referrals from the Section 8 waiting list to PBV property managers with vacant units. PBV property managers are required to return a disposition form indicating the status of each referral before additional referrals can be made. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016) HANO s Signature Communities are mixed-income communities with units reserved for eligible low-income families, including public housing and PBV-assisted families. In Signature Communities with PBV units, occupants must be selected in accordance with HUD regulations (24 CFR 983.251) and with HANO s Administrative Plan.

* In the HANO Mission Progress Goals objective 1.2; HANO has indicated that Guste Ill has a completion date of fall 2016, if that is true can you provide us an updated schedule as requested on this project. It was our understanding that a possible lawsuit is pending which can terminate the project and or delay it beyond fall of 2016. Objective 2.2; can HANO provide the RAB a copy of the HUD SEMAP score letter for 2013, 2014 and 2015 Objective 2.4; We're requesting HANO make upgrades to the HVAC units for Guste I as they are beginning to collapse and need to be replaced. We're requesting capital dollars to replace the current units that are no longer available. The RMC submitted our request to HANO on last year about the conditions of those units. There are many obstacles to the completion of the Guste 3 project. However, HANO remains confident that a focused contractor can prepare the project for occupancy in a few short months. Copies of 2013, 2014 and 2015 SEMAP letters will be forwarded to RAB members. Replacement of individual A/C units is an expected operating cost. However, HANO budgeted funds in FFY 2016 to convert the existing units to a new coolant as requested last year. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

RAB Date Comment Letter 5/27/16 COMMENT LETTER C. WARREN May 27, 2016 HANO Response Ms. Shelly Smith Strategic Planning Housing Authority of New Orleans 4100 Touro Street New Orleans, Louisiana 70130 Re: HANO Agency Plan Dear Ms. Smith: We attended the HANO RAB meeting and have review the HANO Five Year Agency Plan and is submitting our objections to the propose plan as it relates to Marrero Commons formerly B.W. Cooper. After reviewing the plan HANO indicated they are proposing to apply for a HUD Neighborhood Choice Grant for the redevelopment of Marrero Commons phase two. The RMC/Resident Council at several meeting with HANO Executive staff, and at its Board of Commission Committee meetings have express and requested information from HANO regarding its intent to redevelopment phase two for Marrero Commons with no response. The CFP Plan covers all of the activities that HANO may undertake in the next 5 years. HUD s Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) grant program is included as a possible source for redevelopment in order to provide HANO the flexibility to obtain much needed capital dollars to construct public housing and/or project-based voucher units. The composition and character of the Phase II redevelopment is still in the preliminary stage. HANO must first complete the demolition of foundations and soil remediation and procure a developer before vertical redevelopment can begin. HANO will consult with residents and other stakeholders as plans are developed for B.W. Cooper Phase II. This includes determinations on unit affordability mix. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

As the legal representative body for this community residents oppose HANO plan to redevelopment the second phase using the HUD Neighborhood Choice grant program as it will not allow for families that work in low paying jobs the opportunity to return back to the community as demonstrated at it other mix income communities. The rent increase at these properties as indicated in your plan is forcing families to pay 65% of their income for rent. At each of the HANO newly developed sites where there is Hope IV and the lberville Neighborhood Choice Grant program affordable unit count is low and will not assist in the need for affordable housing. HANO has heard from community organization, housing advocacy groups and residents who were former residents and current residents complain about there inability to pay rent at these site, enforcement policies at these sites, violation of their rights at these sites, legibility criteria at these sites at every HANO Commission meeting. The plan does not contemplate any increases in rent for public housing families. Each year, households get to choose whether they will pay income-based rent, which is 30% of their monthly income, or flat rent, which is set at 80% of HUD s Fair Market Rents each year. In the public housing program, no family is required to pay 65% of their income for rent. We have not been notified of any widespread problems at any of the mixed income sites. Please refer residents with specific issues to HANO and we will address them on a case-by-case basis. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

The agency plan allocation of $2.9 for Marrero Commons is for how many units and how did you arrive at that number? The $200,000 is for what kind of plan i.e. A&E, environmental study, what? Your response is requested. The $2,900,000 is an estimated amount of funds that the capital funds budget can bare while addressing other HANO priorities. The $200,000 in FFY 2018 is the last portion of demolition and remediation work. The Capital Fund Plan includes $1,000,000 in FFY 2016-2018 for demolition of the remaining foundations and soil remediation in addition to $3,500,000 in FFY 2018-2019 for vertical construction. It is anticipated that this $4.5 million allocation will be leveraged with other funds to provide a clean and buildable site for redevelopment and provide gap financing for a portion of initial residential construction. Substantially more funding will be needed in order to fully finance the Cooper Phase II redevelopment. CFP SUBMISSION POSTED 4/2016 (revised 6/2016)

The fence need to be replaced and the play equipment upgraded. * HANO has indicated that site work/concrete repairs will be needed in 2019, please see bullet 3 above regarding concrete repair. In 2019 we're asking for upgrades to the park on M.L. King and Liberty. * In 2020 what do you mean extraordinary maintenance at a cost of $35,161 for what? * What is a PNA report? * What relocation will HANO be performing in 2017 We have reviewed the objective of HANO and have the following comments. * We believe that in your statement second paragraph there need to an inclusion for working low income families who are struggling to pay rent due to rent increases. It is our opinion with the development of the new affordable housing working families who are not subsidize are forced to live in housing that does not meet the UPS standards. Private property owners who are not HANO landlords don't comply with those standards and as such those individuals not only are faced with high rents but high utilities. There should be language in the document to speak to that issue and not just the group you reference. * Guste has submitted and respond to request for comments from HUD regarding over income families and smoke free public housing propose rules. We reserve our right to participate and request copies of HANO comments if submitted. * In the agency plan page 18 "designated Housing for elderly and or disable families", our question here is not regarding designated elderly designation for elderly families but for seniors, we've requested that HANO place the elderly designation back on the Guste Homes Senior facility to no avail for the past ten years, can you please explain why since HANO has developed other elderly housing at several of its mix income communities. As stated in previous request for the placement of the designation on the facility the mixing of senior with middle age adults under 62 is unpopular among senior. Our past experience with complaints, incidents and current issues has clearly proven to us that these two life styles do not work in facilities such as the senior property here at Guste. Is HANO going to petition HUD to place the elderly designation back on the Guste Senior facility as per our request and HANO commitment sixteen years ago when they indicated that would. Please note the designation was remove due to lost of housing for single mid age adults that were disable and or handicap. *The date on page 19 is wrong under Guste Homes. * Based on the information submit for review there is approximately 161 vacant PBV units, can you explain why especially with the demand for affordable units? Who manages this

area of the HANO operation and why want HANO consider allowing Signature Communities certified their own applicants application with HANO certifying the 50058 income verification? We would also like to know why HANO has not consider and or allow residents to apply for housing at the complex of their choosing? We believe that sending them to areas of the city is counterproductive especially with the knowing that people from New Orleans is territorial. * In the HANO Mission Progress Goals objective 1.2; HANO has indicated that Guste 111 has a completion date of fall 2016, if that is true can you provide us an updated schedule as requested on this project. It was our understanding that a possible lawsuit is pending which can terminate the project and or delay it beyond fall of 2016. * Objective 2.2; can HANO provide the RAB a copy of the HUD SEMAP score letter for 2013, 2014 and 2015 * Objective 2.4; We're requesting HANO make upgrades to the HVAC units for Guste I as they are beginning to collapse and need to be replaced. We're requesting capital dollars to replace the current units that are no longer available. The RMC submitted our request to HANO on last year about the conditions of those units. cc: City Officials RAB

COOPER RESIDENT MANAGEMENT CORPORATION May 27 2&tt$ Earhart Blvd New Orleans, Louisiana 70125 (504) 822-8840 Fax: (504) 822-0766 Ms. Shelly Smith Strategic Planning Housing Authority of New Orleans 4100 Touro Street New Orleans, Louisiana 70130 Re: HANO Agency Plan Dear Ms. Smith: We attended the HANO RAB meeting and have review the HANO Five Year Agency Plan and is submitting our objections to the propose plan as it relates to Marrero Commons formerly B.W. Cooper. After reviewing the plan HANO indicated they are proposing to apply for a HUD Neighborhood Choice Grant for the redevelopment of Marrero Commons phase two. The RMC/Resident Council at several meeting with HANO Executive staff, and at its Board of Commission Committee meetings have express and requested information from HANO regarding its intent to redevelopment phase two for Marrero Commons with no response. As the legal representative body for this community residents oppose HANO plan to redevelopment the second phase using the HUD Neighborhood Choice grant program as it will not allow for families that work in low paying jobs the opportunity to return back to the community as demonstrated at it other mix income communities. The rent increase at these properties as indicated in your plan is forcing families to pay 65% of their income for rent. At each of the HANO newly developed sites where there is Hope IV and the Iberville Neighborhood Choice Grant program affordable unit count is low and will not assist in the need for affordable housing. HANO has heard from community organization, housing advocacy groups and residents who were former residents and current residents complain about there inability to pay rent at these site, enforcement policies at these sites, violation of their rights at these sites, legibility criteria at these sites at every HANO Commission meeting. The agency plan allocation of $2.9 for Marrero Commons is for how many units and how did you arrive at that number? The $200,000 is for what kind of plan i.e. A&E, environmental study, what? Your response is requested. Sincerely, Claudette Warren Vice President

BOARD OF DIRECTORS JEREMY HUNNEWELL Board Chair SHAKTI BELWAY ASHLEIGH TUOZZOLO WENDY HICKOK ROBINSON TRACY LEA NICK MARSHALL SHARONDA WILLIAMS JUSTIN WOODS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CASHAUNA HILL June 14, 2016 Gregg Fortner Executive Director Housing Authority of New Orleans 4100 Touro Street New Orleans, LA 70122 Dear Mr. Fortner, Please accept these comments and review of the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO s) annual 2016 Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan, on behalf of the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center (GNOFHAC). The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center is a private, non-profit civil rights organization dedicated to eradicating housing discrimination throughout the greater New Orleans area through education, investigation, and enforcement activities. We congratulate you on your leadership in adopting a more progressive criminal background policy that has attracted national attention and accolades. The new criminal background screening procedures create a fair process for current and prospective HANO tenants, including tenants of HANO's third-party-managed mixed-income developments. We look forward to full implementation of this policy and offer our support in ensuring its success. We also appreciate HANO setting Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) mobility counseling as an objective (3.2) consistent with the HousingNOLA plan in the Progress Report. HANO's HCV Program clients constitute more than one-fifth of all renter households; the agency therefore has a substantive role to play in promoting desegregation and advancing housing choice in low-crime, high-opportunity neighborhoods. Evaluations of existing programs have shown comprehensive mobility counseling to be an integral part of any voucher mobility program and GNOFHAC would be a willing collaborator on any next steps toward this goal. In addition to mobility counseling, HUD and Harvard University research

also shows that setting payment standards at the zip code rather than metro-wide level (Small Area Fair Market Rents SAFMRs) increases mobility while reducing overall program costs. Objective 3.3 in the Progress Report aligns with this policy and states that HANO is committed to adjusting voucher payment standards to ensure voucher famililes are successful in locating units in "their neighborhood of choice." Existing voucher locations, many in farther-flung, high-crime and high-poverty neighborhoods, suggests that some program participants may not be able to reach this goal. Given that HUD has indicated it is moving toward SAFMRs for all PHAs, New Orleans has an opportunity to be a leader and opt-in to this innovative program, further increasing housing choice for its clients. Project-based vouchers (PBVs) also provide a unique flexibility to site deeply affordable units in higher-opportunity neighborhoods than HCVP families can often access. The PHA Plan notes that the majority of census tracts in New Orleans have poverty rates greater than 20% (pg. 21), however, the majority of PBV units are currently cited in census tracts with poverty rates greater than 40% (even higher than the citywide poverty rate of 27%). Excepting units earmarked for Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) replacement, HANO clients would benefit from prioritizing additional PBVs for higher-opportuity neighborhoods with high-frequency transit stops, below-average gun violence rates, and poverty rates below the citywide rate. Doing so would be consistent with HANO's duty to affirmatively further fair housing under the Fair Housing Act. HANO has done important work in the past year to improve housing choice for its current and prospective clients. We believe the recommendations contained within this letter will only further the agency's work to create a more integrated city of the future that provides pathways to opportunities for all of its clients. GNOFHAC remains an able and willing partner in these efforts. Sincerely, Cashauna Hill Executive Director
