THA will hold two public comment hearings to receive both oral and written comments on the plan and the proposed new activity. This hearing is not an appointment. It is not mandatory that you attend. The date, time, and location of the hearings are provided below:
| Date: August 15, 2018 Time: 2 p.m. Location: Salishan Family Investment Center 1724 East 44th Street Tacoma, WA 98404 | Date: August 15, 2018 Time: 5 p.m. Location: Bay Terrace Community Room 2550 South G St. Tacoma, WA 98404 |
Please attend and offer your views on the following item:
2019 MTW Plan: THA proposes to modify its Housing Quality Standards certification for initial inspections. Housing Quality Standards inspections are performed to ensure the safety and quality standards for THA voucher holders. THA proposes to permit landlords to self-certify non-life threatening items that require repair before move-in. This change intends to reduce staff time spent conducting re-inspections; reducing administrative requirements for landlords renting to THA clients; and reducing downtime for unoccupied units allowing a THA voucher holder to move into a new unit faster.
