HUD FIELD OFFICE RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATION OF APPROPRIATE REVIEWING OFFICE SIGNATURE AND TITLE DATE HUD -52515A 16-79) 1tt achment 1 ADMINISTRATIVE CAPABILITY LUBBOCK HOUSING AUTHORITY The Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock has been in existence since 1939 when it first began acquisition of land for building Project TEX 18-1 (Hub Homes). This project, consisting of 130 units, an Activity Center, Office and shop was finished in 1941. Since that date the Authority has acquired 536 dwelling units (3 Projects) plus a Central Office, Community Building and Maintenance shop combined in one building. 132 units PHA Turn- key housing are now being built and will be in operation in early 1982. The following list presents the chronological acquisition of the Authority's projects: 1941 .......................132 units - TEX 18-1 (Hub Homes) 1965 .......................236 units - TEX 18-2 (Green -Fair Manor) 1971 .......................240 units - TEX 18-3 (S.F. Dwellings Turnkey III) 1971 ....................... 60 units -.TEX 18-4 (S.F, Dwellings Rentals) 1982......... ............132 units - TEX 18-5 (Duplexes) The Housing Authority completed a modernization program on Projects 18-1 and 18-2 in the amount of $1,490,000.00 in 1980. A modernization program will be completed within the next 60 days in Project 18-2 in the amount of $370,000. Within the past four years the Authority has been able to secure Community Development funds from the City to renovate three apartments at Green -Fair Manor to offices for Counseling Services and an Activity Center. Also funds for security at both Green -Fair and Hub Homes has been obtained. In addition, six apartments (3 Green -Fair, 3 Hub Homes) have been renovated into barrier free units for the handicapped. Additional street and alley lighting as well as alley paving has been provided for Green -Fair. The Authority has cooperated with the CETA program through a painting program in which the Authority furnished the paint and CETA furnished the labor for painting a number of our single family dwellings. Several CETA workers have been absorbed into the staff. In addition to unit ownership, the Housing Authority manages and maintains a Central Office, Community Center, Maintenance shop and warehouse in a separate location as well as offices in Projects 18-1 and 18-2. The Authority has been allocated 180 certificates for Section 8 Existing housing and has an application pending with HUD for an additional 19 certificates. The operation of a Housing Authority of this magnitude is a large and complex task. However, with almost 40 years experience to their credit, the Lubbock Housing Authority has evolved an efficient and economical management plan which is capable of performing the task. The dousing Authority staff is a conscientious team whose problem solving talents coupled with solid leadership have enabled the Authority to operate i+s four projects and Section 8 existing program smoothly and effectively. The staff is comprised of the following personnel: Page 1 of 2 pages TITLE NAME DATE OF EMPLOYMENT Executive Director D. C. Fair, Jr.. 8-16-1976 Asst. Exec.

Aide "B" 3 Laborers 6 The Housing Authority is currently in the process of upgrading occupancy and, has had considerable success in implementing rent.ranges and delinquency collection. In the past four years the delinquency rate has been reduced from an overall 98% to approximately 5%. Twenty of the Turnkey III homes have been "spun -off" since 1977. All of the projects are operated under Annual Contribution Contract (ACC). The Authority has approximately.' $1,000,000.00 invested in Certificates of Deposit. In summary, the Lubbock Housing Authority is an old, well established, effi- ciently managed local Housing Authority. Its successful performance in areas of management and improvements qualifies the Authority as an ideal administrator for Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program. PAGE 2 of 2 pages Attachment 2 REHABILITATION EXPERTISE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY Since 1970, the Urban Renewal Agency has rehabilitated approximately 750 owner -occupied single family units. The URA presently rehabs between 75 and 95 units per year under the CDBG program and the HUD Sec. 312 program. Rehab per year under the CDBG program and the HUD Sec. 312 program for the current CDBG year (1979-80) includes $232,320 in CD funds and a target allocation of $433,000 in Sec. 312 loan funds for FY 1981. The rehabilitation staff consists of a Director, a loan officer and 5 coun- selors. Local contractors perform all rehabilitation work. Rehabilitation jobs range from $6,000 to $27,000. The staff has not had direct experience with the rehabilitation of tenant - occupied properties. It should be noted, however, that most of the units anticipated to be rehabilitated under the Moderate Rehabilitation Program will be structurally similar to the units the Agency is presently rehabi- litating (or has completed) in the city. In the past the Rehabilitation Department of the Agency has received nu- merous visits and phone calls from -officials in other cities seeking guidance on how to set up a local rehabilitation program. These officials have been referred to the Agency by staff persons in the HUD Dallas area office.
