Grand Forks Housing Authority PHA Plan 2023
This PHA Plan outlines the Grand Forks Housing Authority's mission, goals, and objectives for serving low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families. Key strategic areas include expanding partnerships with service providers to support individuals with mental/behavioral health barriers and physical disabilities, fostering engagement between landlords and mental health providers, and involving participants in decision-making processes. The plan also focuses on streamlining the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) eligibility process, maximizing budget utilization, increasing participation in the LAUNCH program, and securing additional specialty vouchers. Fair housing goals include creating case management positions, encouraging participation of underrepresented populations in policymaking, and redeveloping rent reasonableness procedures to expand housing opportunities.
