Public Hearings: Boulder County Housing Authority Plans and Moving to Work Supplement to Annual Plan

Item No. 1: Public Hearing on BCHA Annual Plan and Housing Choice Voucher Plan

Staff Contact: Kelly Keefe
Location – Hybrid: Hearing Room and Zoom Webinar
Boulder County Housing Authority: The Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA) will hold a public hearing to conclude the 45-day comment period on both the BCHA 2026 Annual Plan and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Administrative Plan changes, submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a Public Housing Agency (PHA), BCHA is required to submit an annual plan to HUD 75 days before the start of its fiscal year (January 1). The Annual Plan is a comprehensive guide to BCHA policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. The HCV Administrative Plan is a local document that outlines BCHA’s policies and procedures for administering the HCV program in accordance with HUD requirements, including applicant selection, waiting lists, payment standards, and staff responsibilities. It serves as a supporting document to the broader Annual Plan and is available for public review. BCHA must hold a public hearing each year to invite comments on any changes to goals, objectives, policies, or administrative plan procedures, and to consult with resident advisory boards. HUD considers this annual public hearing essential in determining whether changes are needed. All information relevant to the hearing and any agency determinations regarding changes to the Annual Plan or HCV Administrative Plan is available for public inspection at the principal office of the PHA during normal business hours.
