Mr.

Jackson, if you want to give us your executive director's report.

Yes, and good evening, commissioners.

Uh thank you as always for uh your continued service to our community and to this housing authority, and would like to wish everyone a happy new year.

Um, in your board packet tonight, uh we have a number of reports that I would like to go through, beginning first with the low rent report, which can be found on page 259.

The low rent report on two pay on page 259 is as follows.

We received 14,317 in the month of December in rent collection.

Um of the 129 units that we have uh on our property at Boutique, uh 54 are leased up, 74 are in my excuse me, 70 are in mod status, and five are currently vacant.

Of those five that are currently vacant, I just would like to let everyone know that we have two families lined up to move in on February 1st, and we are in the process of sending out more letters from our waiting list for the low rent property to fill the last three.

Um, but again, I want to thank uh the maintenance team as well as uh Ms.

Prevost to and working to get uh these units uh filled.

Um, as I mentioned in the last meeting, all of our available units that are available to rent are move and ready.

Uh so we're in the process of of identifying those families right now.

So we have those last three uh to get full, then we should be at 100% occupancy.

Uh for the month of December, we um we sent out 15 waiting list letters again.

Our both of our waiting lists, uh, the old one that we have that we're still pulling from has 76 applicants, and the new one has 75.

Uh we do not anticipate opening up that waiting list um anytime soon because we are full.

That was something that we were previously doing to get or we are in the process of becoming full.

That was something that we were doing to to identify as many families uh for the bedroom size units that we had.

Uh so we do have 76 in the original waiting list and 75 in the new waiting list, and we had no new admissions last month, but we did complete 29 uh work orders that were completed uh in a timely and orderly manner, and that those work orders uh can be found on page 263 uh where we have completed our uh provided our completed work orders for the month of December.

Uh and I would like again to add to make sure that everyone knows that um for our low rent properties, um, those are uh in the process uh of being uh on of they're in the process rather of uh we're applying for a conversion.

Uh so we will provide a little bit more detail uh when it comes to uh that conversion process in the RAD 6 section 18 uh conversion update.
