Section 8 was established by the 1974 Housing and Community Development Act for assisting lower income families in securing decent, safe and sanitary housing. The Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority administers 1335 units of Section 8 housing. In 1993, the Authority made housing assistance payfn, ents to Section 8 landlords totalling almost $4 million. Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payment Program · This federally funded tenant-based program provides eligible families with rental assistance directly payable to the landlords on behalf of the family tO cover part of the rent. · Families pay an amount equal to 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income less a utility allowance, if any, and the Authority pays the remainder to equal the total "contract rent" which must not exceed the spedfied "fair market rent" limits set by HUD. · Currently, there are 907 certificates in this program. Section 8 Housing Voucher Program · The tenant-based Housing Voucher Program is similar to that of the Section 8 Certificate Program in that it offers expanded opportunities for rental assistance to lower income families by utilizing existing housing units. · One of the Housing Voucher Program's principal features is flexibility. This flexibility allows a family a broader range of housing and neighborhoods from which to choose. They may choose units with rent higher than the applicable payment standards. However, they will not receive any additional assistance payments. Currently, there are 83 vouchers being utilized. (MORE) FAX (703) 983-9229 TELEPHONE (703) 983-9281 Section 8 Mo(levale Rehabilitation Program · This unit-based program allows the Authority to subsidize rents above the Fair Market Rate as an incentive for landlords to make improvements to their property. Once improvements have been completed, the Authority and the owner enter into a fifteen year contract. The owner then rents the rehabilitated unit to lower income families. · The difference between the Section 8 Existing Program and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program is that the certificate is not issued to the family, and the family does not have the choice of using the certificate to "shop" for a qualified unit. Each Moderate Rehab unit has been rehabilitated by the landlord with funding provided by the Authority: The unit itself has the subsidy. · Currently, there are 321 units in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program. Section 8 Project Self-Sufficiency · This very successful program, which began in 1986, is operated by the Authority, the Roanoke City Department of Social Services, and the Fi. fth District Employment and Training Consortium. · The goal of the program is to break the cycle of poverty for single parents of Iow-income families by bringing these adults into the economic mainstream by providing them with a combination of housing, child care, transportation, counseling, job training, placement and other support services. · While the Authority provides housing assistance through 100 certificates and 20 vouchers, the Department of Social Services and the Fifth District Employment and Training Consortium coordinate support services. · A Task Force comprised of individuals representing various agencies was set up by the Mayor of Roanoke to oversee this program. · Some recent successes of the program are: 21 persons are employed full-time; 8 are employed part-time; four are receiving special COunseling services; five are on active job search; 17 are in training; 20 ADC cases are closed; and four graduated from Virginia Western Community College in May, 1994.

A portion of these units were designed to accommodate the elderly and handicapped.

SMITH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Neva Smith became Executive Director of the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority on November 2, 1992. Smith came from Hampton Redevelopment and Housing Authority where she was Executive Director for fifteen y~ars. Smith went to work for the Hampton Authority as Secretary in 1965 when the Authority had four employees. She became Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director in 1970, Assistant Executive Director in 1976 and Executive Director in 1977. ~' After becoming Executive Director, she went to college and graduated with honors from St. Leo's in Hampton. Smith was the first woman to be elected president of the Virginia Association of Housing and Community Development Officials (VAHCDO). She was selected by HUD to represent public housing authorities in a ten-state region (SERC) which examined ways HUD's requirements can be streamlined to meet the needs of small public housing authorities. Smith was also one of three directors of the Hampton-Newport News Regional Redevelopment and Housing Authority. Smith's vision for the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority is to set up a comprehensive, integrated Assisted Housing program that will transition_residents from dependence to self-sufficiency by providing avenues for residents to obtain the skills necessary to live independently. Smith envisions that residents living in Public Housing/Phase 1 of the program would be exposed to a concentration of housing-related resources - social services, transportation, public safety and health, drug abuse prevention, education, job training, etc. - that will provide them with the necessary tools for economic independence. Graduates of this phase would have the opportunity to move into Section 8 Assisted Housing, which would be reserved solely for upward mobility candidates and special needs populations. Participants in the Section 8 Program/Phase 2 would also participate in intensive self-improvement activities and have the benefit of case management and employability skills development, including job training and placement tied to the Authority's economic development activities. Finally, those residents who graduate to Phase 3 of the Assisted Housing Self- Sufficiency Program would have first choice in the Authority's Homeownership Opportunities Program.

A cooperative agreement between the Authority and the City of Roanoke was entered into. · The Authority's first plans were to build a 300-unit development for whites (Lansdowne Park) and a 300-unit development for blacks (Lincoln Terrace). The name Crispus Attucks Heights was originally selected for Lincoln Terrace, but was changed by the Commissioners in 1952 because of the "difficulty in remembering and spelling the name of Crispus Attucks Heights." · The Authority's first office was located at 401 Luck Avenue. The central office was moved to its current location at 2624 Salem Turnpike in Lansdowne Park in March of 1952. * In 1952, residents moved into Lincoln Terrace and Lansdowne Park, and the Authority, in cooperation with the city, began work on the Commonwealth Project, which called for the clearing and demolition of structures in the Northeast Roanoke area bounded by Shenandoah Avenue, Second Street, Orange Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue. The Authority also became involved in the Gainsboro project at that time. · In January of 1958, Russell R. Henley was appointed Executive Director, succeeding Beck who resigned to enter the real estate business. Henley retired in May of 1981 and Herbert McBride served as Executive Director until May of 1992. Neva J. Smith became Executive Director in November of 1992.
