SUBJECT:

APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 HOUSING AUTHORITY

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO BOARD

OF COMMISSIONERS APPROVING FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 HOUSING

OVERVIEW

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors established the Housing Authority of the County of

San Diego (County Housing Authority) in 1975 in accordance with California law. The County

Housing Authority is a local entity that administers housing assistance programs through funding

provided by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The County Housing Authority operates several housing programs that benefit low-income

households in the unincorporated area of the county and in the participating cities of Chula

Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, El Cajon, Escondido, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove,

Poway, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach, and Vista. The County Housing Authority provides

monthly rental assistance on behalf of approximately 25,200 low-income individuals in the

region.

Today’s actions request the County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners (Board of

Commissioners) approve the County Housing Authority recommended budget for Fiscal Year

2026-27. In addition, today’s action requests the Board of Commissioners establish and

authorize transfer of appropriations, authorize procurement activities as needed, and adopt a

resolution.

This item supports the County of San Diego vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for

all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been

historically left behind, as well as our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego

vision of healthy, safe, and thriving communities. This aligns with the County’s Framework for

Ending Homelessness and the Housing for all Vision, by providing permanent affordable

housing and support to vulnerable residents and improving the lives of persons at-risk of and

experiencing homelessness.

EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT

The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (County Housing Authority) administers

various rental subsidy programs funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD), intended to assist very low-income families, the elderly, homeless

veterans, and persons with disabilities with access to housing in the private market. Federal

regulations require that at least 75% of newly admitted households must have an income at or

below 30% of area median income (AMI) and up to 25% of newly admitted households may

have an income up to 50% AMI. To ensure equitable access to affordable housing opportunities,

the County Housing Authority gives highest priority to applicants who live or work in the

County Housing Authority jurisdiction and meets one or more of the following criteria in the

household: working applicant, elderly person, person with disabilities, dependent children,

applicant experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and veterans or surviving spouses of veterans.

As of October 2025, the leased participant distribution includes:

Household Profile* Family Members*

· 68% where head of the household or spouse is either elderly and/or disabled · 44% are elderly

and/or disabled single tenants · 28% of participants have children in the households · 9.5% are

single parents with children in the households · 9.3% of all households have a veteran as head of

the household · 32% are disabled · 27% are under the age of 18 · 26% are elderly

*Total does not equal 100% due to overlapping categories

The County Housing Authority provides rental assistance to a diverse population and is

committed to advancing equitable access and opportunity for assisted households to live in

safe and affordable housing. Rental assistance voucher holders can choose housing in areas

that best fit their individual household needs. To expand housing opportunities for voucher

holders, the County Housing Authority provides higher levels of rental assistance in

neighborhoods with greater opportunity.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT

Today’s actions support the County of San Diego Sustainability Goal #1 to engage the

community and Sustainability Goal #2 to provide just and equitable access. The County Housing

Authority Board of Commissioners, who is the governing body of the Housing Authority of the

County of San Diego (County Housing Authority) and is inclusive of two tenant commissioners,

brings a lived experience lens when approving program activities, such as the County Housing

Authority Annual Agency Plan, the annual budget requests for funding, changes in program

administration, and implementation of housing programs. These programs serve to remove

barriers from low-income families seeking to live in areas of greater economic opportunity.

Equitable access to housing reduces the demand for community services, which may lessen the

overall environmental impact on the region.

FISCAL IMPACT

If approved, this request will result in costs and revenue of $293,747,225 in Fiscal Year 2026-27

in the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego. The funding sources are the United States

Department of Housing and Urban Development, United States Department of Agriculture,

Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Reserve Fund, Santee Successor Agency, Public

Housing Operating Reserve Fund, Public Housing Rental Revenue, State grants and other

miscellaneous revenues. There will be no change in net County General Fund cost and no

additional staff years.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT

This request will have a positive impact on the business community, as the recommended budget

will provide rental income to landlords participating in housing assistance programs.
