1) In 2013, there is a $473,000 funding shortfall 2) In 2014, the funding shortfall will be $560,000 3) In 2015, the shortfall will be $730,000 4) Federal spending will not increase for social programs until the federal deficit is under control 5) Federal deficit on September 17, 2013 was: $16.7 Trillion 6) We must adapt to stay within the funding provided by HUD 14

LOWER THE PAYMENT STANDARD This will increase the tenant share of rent, therefore reducing the average HAP paid by the Housing Authority No vouchers would be terminated at 92% of the Payment Standard If the Payment Standard is set between 93% and 100%, there will be voucher terminations 15

TERMINATE VOUCHER ASSISTANCE  We would need to cut 84 vouchers to get our current HAP expenses in alignment with the HUD funding in 2015  Which Vouchers do we cut? The last 84 vouchers issued Those who have been on the program the longest Families with the highest income By lottery – draw names Terminate assistance of those currently not under lease 16

Projected administrative expenses for 2015 are not available 17
