As Chairperson, I want to thank all the employees at the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin for another successful year as a result of their hard work and dedication. Because of this, the Agency has been able to continue to develop and improve its services offered to the residents of San Joaquin County. Unfortunately, the region continues to feel the impact of the current economic climate. However, the Housing Authority continues to strive to create quality, affordable housing in San Joaquin County, with a goal of decreasing the concentration of poverty and empowering residents to succeed. Last year, the Board of Commissioners approved the revitalization plan for Sierra Vista Homes. The Housing Authority’s strategy to rebuild Sierra Vista Homes, known as the Mountain View Revitalization Plan, is underway with the purchasing of 40 “build-ready” lots that are 1.5 miles south of Sierra Vista Homes. Finally, it is important to thank each of the Commissioners who bring special skills and insights to the Housing Authority’s endeavors. They have shown time and time again, their professionalism, tireless effort and ability to work as a team. With the valued support provided by Commissioners, community partners, and employees, the Housing Authority will continue to work toward a future where the residents of San Joaquin County continue to have access to safe, decent and affordable housing. Rudolph Willey Chairperson, Board of Commissioners

The Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin is pleased to present its 2010/2011 Annual Report. The Report reflects the dedication of the Board of Commissioners and the Housing Authority employees who have continued to positively impact the lives of San Joaquin County residents. Additionally, the Authority’s community partners have gone above and beyond all expectations to offer time, services and products (many times at no cost) for the betterment of program participants. The Housing Authority has experienced and anticipates further funding cuts from the Federal government. In spite of the challenges, the Authority has done more with less and actually improved and increased the services provided to program participants. The focus of the Authority in 2009 was to put in place changes that would improve the operations and health of the Agency. Over the last year, the Agency focused on improvements to the health and wellness of program participants and employees. The Housing Authority provided many programs and services for residents and employees that addressed health, personal finance, and service providers for families. As the Authority plans ahead for 2012 and beyond, it will aggressively pursue all opportunities to make a difference in the community and to provide affordable housing opportunities and services for the residents of San Joaquin County. The Housing Authority is committed to giving the highest quality service and will continue to work with all community partners to help provide a sustainable and healthy community. Barbara S. Kauss Executive Director, Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin

Since 1942, the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin is responsible for providing decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families, elderly, and persons with disabilities. For nearly seventy years the Housing Authority has provided affordable housing opportunities to the residents of San Joaquin County. A seven-member Board of Commissioners appointed by the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors governs the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority currently assists approximately 19,000 people through the distribution of nearly 5,000 housing vouchers and by managing and maintaining 1,075 units in the public housing communities. This is achieved through many specific assistance programs, by forming partnerships with other agencies and businesses, and by overseeing and distributing millions of federal, state, and local dollars each year.

San Joaquin County is well known for its ethnic and cultural diversity. The Housing Authority embraces this unique attribute and appreciates the rich fabric every person makes to the quilt work of the community.

Joaquin County Since 1942

MISSION STATEMENT The Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin is dedicated to providing and advocating for affordable, attractive, safe living environments and opportunities to become self-sufficient for individuals and families that are hard to house.


Achievements Housing Authority Achieves High-Performer Status

For the fourth consecutive year, the Housing Authority was recognized as a “High Performer” public housing authority. Additionally, the Authority received a “High Performer” rating in its administration of the Housing Choice Voucher Program and management of the Public Housing Program. The “High Performer” designation is the highest honor HUD can give to a public housing authority. The Authority's high scores allow it to be recognized for superior management and to be more competitive in seeking grant funding.

San Joaquin County Housing Authority Scholarship Foundation Endowment Grows

The Housing Authority established a non-profit entity, the San Joaquin County Housing Authority Scholarship Foundation, in February 2009. The Foundation’s purpose is to provide post-secondary scholarships for students receiving subsidized housing. Originally the funding for the Foundation came from Housing Authority restricted funds. However, starting in the Fall of 2009, the Foundation has held several fundraisers with a goal of increasing its endowment and reducing its dependence on funding from the Housing Authority. Since 2009, the Scholarship Foundation has raised nearly $15,000, through its fundraising efforts. As a result, more scholarships have been made available to applicants. One recipient, Ms. Edith Cortez, stated she was very excited to have received the Scholarship Award. Ms. Cortez attended local public schools, graduated from Edison High School, and is currently enrolled at San Joaquin Delta College. Ms. Cortez plans to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from a four-year institution after which she will apply to medical school to pursue a Doctorate Degree in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a pediatrician. At a Board of Commissioners' meeting, Ms. Cortez stated that the scholarship will help with her goal to become a doctor and she will, in turn, be able to give back to her community and help others.

& Successes American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funds

In March 2009, the Housing Authority received $2.8 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Federal Funds. The ARRA funding program required the Housing Authority to successfully obligate all funds within twelve months (March 2010); expend (spend) 60% of the funds within two years; and have all funds expended within three years. The Housing Authority fully obligated 100% of the ARRA funds within 11 months; has expended 94% of the funds; and is on track to have the funds fully utilized before the March 2012 deadline. To date, the Housing Authority estimates that nearly 100 jobs have been created by ARRA and other Capital Fund projects. The jobs created represent the workers and contractors carrying out the rehabilitation projects in the Public Housing Communities; but does not include jobs created by on-going agency operations or employment at the Authority.

Housing Authority Internship Program As a result of a strategic goal set by the Housing Authority, in December 2010, the Housing Authority established an Internship Program to provide job training opportunities for low-income residents. The Housing Authority has collaborated with education institutions and community organizations such as Heald College and San Joaquin County WorkNet. The partnership with WorkNet has been very fulfilling to the interns. Two interns have successfully interviewed and were subsequently hired by the Authority. To date, nearly 100 people have had internships at the Agency to learn clerical and information technology experience to go towards their educational and employment goals. An intern through Heald College, Mr. Ruffy Arnaldo, said of his experience at the Housing Authority, “The things that I have learned at the Housing Authority are things I cannot learn from a book. I can put my hands-on training experience on my resume and be proud of it.”

Making a Difference Mr. Lavelle Hawkins, a wide receiver with the Tennessee Titans, spoke at a Commissioners’ meeting regarding his desire to give something back to his community. Mr. Hawkins is a Stockton native who grew up in Sierra Vista Homes. He graduated from Edison High School along with his cousin Mr. Lynell Hamilton who is a running back with Super Bowl XLIV Champions, the New Orleans Saints. Both Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Hamilton established the Hawkins & Hamilton Football Camp for kids ages seven through fourteen. Stockton youth attending the camp received hands on coaching, instruction and mentoring from Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Hamilton and several other NFL players.

Above: Presentation by Lavelle Hawkins at a Board of Commissioners’ Meeting

The Housing Authority offers resident outreach programs that provide valuable information regarding services available in the community. No cost programs were presented to residents, such as a Health Clinic, Diabetes Education Program, and Income Tax Assistance. Additionally, Resident Fairs and National Night Out had record setting attendance by both program participants and service providers.

Sierra Vista Homes - A Community in Transition

The Housing Authority is committed to improving the quality of its public housing communities. Sierra Vista Homes, a nearly 60-year old development, is a community in need of revitalization. One strategy being considered is a plan known as the “Mountain View Revitalization Plan.” The Plan is proposing to demolish the existing 330 units in Sierra Vista Homes (which excludes the 64 units in the Sierra Vista Annex)

and replace the units with factory-built constructed units. The Mountain View Revitalization Plan is an ambitious plan that will cost a significant amount of money. Therefore, in November 2010, the Housing Authority submitted a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) $22,000,000 HOPE VI Grant application. If awarded, the grant funds will be used towards the cost to implement the Mountain View Revitalization Plan. The ability to secure grant funding will greatly improve the sustainability of the community and the renaissance of the neighborhood.

Organizations Committed San Joaquin County Office of Education - YouthBuild San Joaquin

YouthBuild San Joaquin (YBSJ) is a 12-month training program that is a federally funded partnership between the San Joaquin County Office of Education and the Housing Authority. It’s mission is to assist young adults, ages 17-24, work toward completion of a high school diploma or GED; learn construction skills while building affordable housing; develop leadership skills by becoming involved in their community; and secure apprenticeships as well as jobs within the construction industry after graduating from the program. The comprehensive program focuses on non-traditional approaches to education and paid on-the-job training. Since 2009, YBSJ participants have rehabilitated over 30 public housing units allowing them to learn valuable skills for future employment.


WorkNet of San Joaquin County WorkNet of San Joaquin County offers a variety of resources to assist the job seeker in his or her search for gainful employment. These services include job search assistance, resume development, career counseling, occupational skills training, and job placement assistance. WorkNet is also responsible for administering programs as a result of the Workforce Investment Act. WorkNet also assists businesses in finding qualified employees at no cost to the business. The Housing Authority has implemented an Internship Program with WorkNet. To date, over 100 interns have worked at the Housing Authority. The Internship Program exemplifies the commitment of both the Housing Authority and WorkNet to work together to facilitate the connection of residents of public housing to employment opportunities and training.

to Working Together


San Joaquin County Commission on Aging The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors established the Commission on Aging as an advisory body to the Board of Supervisors in 1979. The Commission on Aging has many duties, including to study, review, evaluate, and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on all matters affecting older people in San Joaquin County. Additionally, the Commission serves as an advisory council to the San Joaquin County Department of Aging on all matters affecting older persons in the County, and act as their principal advocate. Members of the Commission on Aging come from all segments of the community and represent the broad spectrum of diversity that characterizes San Joaquin County. There are twenty-two appointed commissioners, one of which is appointed by the Housing Authority. This appointment allows for the opportunity for the Housing Authority to advocate for its senior residents as well as to share information regarding affordable housing programs administered by the Housing Authority.

U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act provided $75 million dollars of funding for the HUD-Veteran’s Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) voucher program. The HUD-VASH program combines Housing Choice Voucher Program rental assistance for homeless veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the U.S. Veteran’s Affairs Department. Since 2009, the Housing

Authority has been awarded 60 HUD-VASH vouchers and has partnered with the Veteran’s Affairs Palo Alto Health Care program to coordinate case management and services necessary to administer the HUD-VASH Vouchers.

Community Partners! Local Painting Companies Donate

Paint to the Housing Authority

D.C. Vient Inc., located in Modesto, California, generously donated 160 gallons of paint to the Housing Authority. As a non-subsidized property, Claremont Manor had no funds available for paint. The donation of paint made it feasible for the Housing Authority to paint the exterior of its senior community apartment complex. Additionally, Enviroplex, Inc., a Stockton-based company, also donated hundreds of gallons of “environmentally-friendly” paint to the Housing Authority. Thank you D.C. Vient, Inc., Enviroplex, Inc., and all of the Housing Authority’s community partners for helping to provide a better community for the Housing Authority’s residents.

As a result of the generous contributions of cash, time, and in-kind donations, the San Joaquin County Housing Authority Scholarship Foundation has increased its endowment to provide scholarships to residents of the Housing Authority’s affordable housing programs. All donations are greatly appreciated, especially those organizations that have given so much to help students achieve their goals. The Scholarship Foundation extends an appreciative “Thank You” to the following local companies that have been major contributors to the Foundation:

Affordable Housing Programs &


The Housing Choice Voucher Program The Housing Choice Voucher Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides housing assistance to extremely low and very low-income families, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. Its objective is to provide affordable, decent and safe housing for eligible families, while increasing a family’s residential mobility and choice. Since 1974, the Housing Authority has managed the Housing Choice Voucher

Program, providing rent subsidies in the form of Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) to property owners on behalf of eligible families. The Housing Authority administers 4,931 vouchers for families residing in San Joaquin County. Unfortunately, the demand for vouchers exceeds the number available. Currently, there are nearly 11,000 families on the Housing Choice Voucher Program Wait List. The Housing Authority continues to pursue funding and programs, such as the Veteran’s Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) voucher program, to increase the affordable housing opportunities for the residents of San Joaquin County.

The Housing Authority administers HUD’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The FSS Program’s purpose is to help Housing Choice Voucher participants and public housing families obtain employment that will lead to economic independence and self-sufficiency. The Housing Authority works with local agencies, schools, and businesses to develop a comprehensive program that gives participating FSS family members the skills and experience needed to become self-sufficient. A recent graduate of the program, Ms. Vernetta Shaw, successfully completed and passed the State licensing exam to become an Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and has obtained full-time employment at Kaiser Permanente. The Housing Authority administers an FSS caseload of 200 families, assisting program participants in their goal to achieve self-sufficiency.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program - From the Perspective of Property Owners

Established in 1975, Metzger Property Management Company has assisted many property owners who have participated in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Mr. Michael Guindon, owner of Metzger Property Management, has said of the HCV Program, “It is a great program, for those that really need help and without the Housing Choice Voucher Program, some families would really be struggling.” Mr. Guindon has seen the benefit of the program not only in providing rental assistance directly to the property owners, but also for the participants trying to go to school, work and take care of their family.
