Approve plan letting city charge Richmond Housing Authority for shared services

Housing & Homelessness

In Plain English

The Richmond Housing Authority uses city staff for accounting, legal work, and other services but needs federal approval to pay for them. This plan meets federal requirements and lets the housing authority reimburse the city for these shared costs. The plan was required under a federal recovery agreement after the housing authority faced financial problems.
