Mr.

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

Good evening, Commissioners, and again, thank you for your uh continued service to our community and to this housing authority.

Uh just want to briefly go over uh some of the reports that are found in your board packet.

Uh first starting with the July 2026 low rent report, which can be found on page 180 in your board packet.

So for the month of July 2026, uh we collected 17,168 dollars in rent and uh 200 in deposits of the 129 units 70 are still on mod status pending our conversion.

Um 53 of the units are leased with six that are currently vacant.

Um we are uh working diligently as always to uh get the units occupied that are vacant and that can be made move and ready.

Um we did uh issue delinquent rent notices on July the 6th to any resident who had not paid their rent by the 5th.

Um we did mail out four made it four waiting lists letters and for the month of uh July uh we had 13 work orders that were completed uh and start started and completed in a timely manner with one new admission and one move out.

So we have uh on page um one second pulled up on page 198.

Um we did list the the unit repair status uh log just to keep the board aware and updated as it relates to the vacancies uh that currently exist uh within our uh bootie property.

Uh we did uh lease up one of the six uh vacancies that's unit 262.

Um that lease up occurred on the 18th, and there is uh one move in that is already scheduled for uh September the first.

So we currently will you know after that we'll have uh four vacancies.

I do believe there's gonna be one person that is moving out at the end of the month, so we'll have five, so we'll be able to get uh the board an updated list and scope.

Uh we do anticipate um three of the four units to be turned move and ready by uh the end of next month, um, not including the one that's uh to be determined due to uh a large amount of damage that occurred in the property, uh, whereas we're working with contractors to get some quotes so we can make those repairs, and that's unit 256.

Uh so we'll continue to update the board on that, especially if there may need to be uh any specific procurement action that the board has to take uh to get those repairs done.

Um but I did list um in your packet from pages 185 to uh page 197, the work orders that were completed uh in a timely manner uh by our maintenance team.

Uh and the next report that we have is the July 2026 uh HCV report that can be found on page going so fast, 200 uh in your board pack.

Uh yes, it's just about uh the waiting list.

Oh are we accepting more people for the waiting list?
