Summary of Proceedings

St. Charles Parish Housing Authority Annual Plan and Capital Fund Action Plan Public Hearing

The St. Charles Parish Housing Authority held a public hearing on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 at 5:30 PM in the Council Chambers at the St. Charles Parish Courthouse in Hahnville, Louisiana. The hearing was convened to receive public comments on the proposed FY26 Annual Plan and the 2026–2030 Capital Fund Action Plan. All board members were present, and the meeting proceeded with a pledge of allegiance, agenda approval, public comment period, acceptance of comments, and adjournment.

Public Comments & Testimony

No members of the public appeared in person to speak during the 15-minute open microphone period (from 5:35 PM to 5:50 PM).
Mr. Jackson, staff liaison, read into the record an email comment from Mr. Richard Murray of Standard Enterprises, the Authority’s conversion developer partner. Mr. Murray suggested adding language to the PHA plan specifying that the Authority proposes to convert under the RAD Section 18 blend program using either PBV (Project-Based Vouchers) or PBRA (Project-Based Rental Assistance), whichever is best suited for the conversion. He expressed caution that the current draft only reads “Section 18 blend program” and that greater specificity would avoid the need for a significant amendment, which would require additional advertising, public comment, and another hearing.

Discussion Items

Mr. Jackson reported that the FY26 Annual Plan and 2026–2030 Capital Fund Action Plan were advertised for the required 45 days on the Authority’s website, in its offices, and in the Herald Guide. No comments from the public were received during that period.
A certification from the St. Charles Parish President is pending review and signature, confirming that the FY26 Annual Plan is consistent with the State Consolidated Plan for St. Charles Parish. The certification is expected before the submission deadline of the following Tuesday.
The board unanimously approved the agenda as presented (motion by Commissioner Bailey, seconded by Commissioner Joseph).

Key Outcomes

The board unanimously voted to accept the public comments (including the email from Standard Enterprises) into the record (motion by Commissioner Bailey, seconded by Commissioner Joseph).
The public hearing was adjourned at approximately 5:50 PM (motion by Commissioner Bailey, seconded by Commissioner Joseph). The board was scheduled to consider a resolution for plan submission at a separate board meeting later that same evening.
