This 445 unit approval brought the PHA's potential for Section 8 involvement to 1,786 units. Since that date, we have entered into contracts or committments on 1,766 units with HUD. The present Saint Paul Housing Assistance Plan goals for the three years (10-1-79 to 9-30-82) identify a need, in part, for 228 additional existing rental units to be provided through HUD assisted programs. Thirty of the 228 units must be for large families of 5 or more persons. It has been our experience that these larger units can only be provided through public housing to be acquired, owned and operated by the PHA. (The Section 8 programs do not produce large units for St. Paul.) The need for larger housing units for lower income families is evidenced by our public housing waiting list of 145 families for three and four bed- room units. The PHA requests City Council approval for 30 direct acquisition, without rehab, units for public housing in accordance with Laws of Minnesota for 1977, Chapter 228, Section 4(2) . The need for such units is demonstrated by the Housing Assistance Plan. We are also requesting City Council approval for 178 additional Section 8 units. The additional 178 units would bring our Section 8 program potential to 1,964. The projected availability of funding through the HUD area office is ex- tremely limited for the federal fiscal year. The unit availability and funding which might come to the PHA in the next few years is uncertain at best. The PHA would like to be in a position to provide additional housing opportunities for Saint Paul's low income families, within the needs iden- Mary Ann Sudeith Frank Allen Hester Mamie Morgan John J.Galles Peg Fourre' Grant C.West Winnie Estrada Chairperson Vice Chairperson . • ��,� � � �� Ms. Joanne Showalter March 24, 1980 Page -2- tified by the Housing Assistance Plan, should HUD be able to provide the Agency with additional program funding.
