Section PH-8 states:
PH-8: Resident Council Elections
Regulatory Authority: 24 CFR § 964.130(a)(1)
Description: The regulations require that resident councils must adhere to certain minimum standards regarding election procedures, including that all procedures must assure fair and frequent elections of resident council members—at least once every three years for each member. HUD recognizes that conducting resident council elections may not be possible as a result of COVID-19 public health actions. HUD is waiving the regulation to allow PHAs to delay resident council elections beyond the three-year limit if necessary. However, the delayed resident council election must be rescheduled and held as soon as reasonably possible once circumstances permit, after December 31, 2021.
Period of Availability: The period of availability of this waiver ends on December 31, 2021.

In July and August we review changes to the ACOP with SHRA. The completed package goes to the Commission in September for a public hearing, then if approved, it is forwarded to HUD for adoption. The documents are published on SHRAs website for public review and comment (click on Public Housing Agency Plans and Reports to view the plan).
