HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING: June 11, 2025
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: RECOMMEND HOUSING AUTHORITY APPROVE FISCAL YEAR
2025/26 PROPOSED HOUSING AUTHORITY BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend Housing Authority approve the fiscal year 2025/26 proposed Housing
Authority Budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed 2025/26 Housing Authority Budget is presented to the Commission
for review and approval. The Housing Authority reviewed the proposed budget on
June 3, 2025.
The proposed budget has a surplus of $457,407 for the year.
Final budget adoption is scheduled for June 17, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT
The preliminary Housing Authority budget projects revenues of $2,597,187 (inclusive of the
annual loan repayment of $715,187) and expenditures of $2,139,780, resulting in a surplus
of $457,407.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The intent of this meeting is to provide further details on the budget and obtain approval
from the Commission prior to final adoption by the Housing Authority. Each Housing Fund
section contains notes to explain changes from 2023/24 actuals, changes in 2024/25, and
projections for 2025/26. The budget format is similar to the prior fiscal year and includes a
fund balance summary and year to year comparison summary chart.
After approval from the Housing Commission, Staff will provide any updates to the Housing
Authority on June 17, 2025, and recommend for final adoption. Should there be substantial
changes (an increase or decrease of more than 10% in revenues or expenses), the
proposed budget would be presented at a special meeting to the Housing Commission for
reapproval prior to adoption.
Attachment 1 provides a narrative of Housing Authority revenue and expenses including
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
7
the Successor Agency (former Redevelopment Agency) loan repayment to the Authority.
Line item details for these revenues and expenses are located in Exhibit A of the
Attachment.
ALTERNATIVES
The Commission may recommend further adjustments to the budget. Per State law, the
Authority must adopt a budget by June 30.
Prepared by: Virginia Ortega, Finance Manager
Approved by: Claudia Martinez, Housing Authority Finance Director
Jon McMillen, Housing Authority Executive Director
Attachment: 1. Fiscal Year 2025/26 Proposed Budget

HOUSING AUTHORITY
2025/26 PROPOSED BUDGET
The Housing Authority budget provides resources for the evaluation of future affordable housing
projects and programs, ongoing operational needs, and property maintenance, as well as legal and
auditing services as required by the Authority.
The summary is designed to provide an overview of the Housing Authority Funds. Line item details
for revenues and expenses are located in Exhibit A of the Attachment. A preliminary review of the
proposed budget will be presented to the Housing Commission on June 11, 2025 and is scheduled
for adoption on June 17, 2025.
The 2025/26 Authority budget has three active funds restricted to housing operations. Estimated
Fund Balance, revenues, and expenditures for each fund are summarized below:
REVENUES
When all funds are combined, there is a 23% increase in revenues from the current 2024/25 current
budget to the proposed 2025/26 budget. All three funds reflect increases in allocated or non-
allocated interest due to projected earnings from investments currently held within the City’s portfolio.
Fund 241 also includes an anticipated increase from rent revenue.
The Housing Authority Fund (241) has an overall increase of $214,000 due to a combination of
allocated interest estimates and increased rent revenue projections for the upcoming year.
The RDA Low-Mod Housing Fund (243) recognizes the annual loan repayment from the Last and
Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the Successor Agency (former
Redevelopment Agency). For 2025/26 the total loan repayment is $3,575,934, which is allocated
80% to the General Fund ($2,860,747) and 20% to the Housing Authority Fund ($715,187). Any of
the Housing Authority portion of the revenue not expended will be recognized in reserves in Fund
243. The final loan repayment is scheduled for fiscal year 2029/30. Remaining outstanding loan
repayments after 2025/26 total $14,597,984 of which $2,919,597 will be allocated to the Housing
Authority. The overall increase in this fund of $70,000 is attributed to allocated interest.
ATTACHMENT 1
9
The SA 2011 Low/Mod Bond (249) has an overall increase of $68,000, mainly attributed to non-
allocated interest earnings.
EXPENSES
The Housing Authority Fund (241) has an overall estimated decrease of 15%, which is due in large
part to the $350,000 decrease in Building/Site Improvements in the proposed budget resulting from
an expected $430,000 in carryover from the current year to continue building improvements at Dune
Palms Mobile Home Estates. These enhancements include landscape improvements, wall and
fencing repairs, pool demolition, and upgrades to common areas comprising of the recreation hall,
laundry area, and office. Increases in salary and benefits and contract services, including consulting
and recording fees, are attributed to the current economy and inflationary impacts.
For RDA Low-Mod Housing Fund (243), revenues received from loan repayments have been used
for homelessness programs as approved by the Authority each fiscal year. Pursuant to California
Health and Safety Code’s Community Development and Housing law, if the Authority has fulfilled
certain obligations, the Authority may expend up to $500,000 per fiscal year for homelessness
prevention, an increase from $250,000 with the Governor’s approval of AB1782 in July of 2024. The
proposed budget of $325,000 for the 2025/26 homelessness programs, in addition to $50,000 to be
carried forward from the current year, will allocate $375,000 in funding in the next fiscal year for local
homeless service providers and homeless prevention partners in the Coachella Valley.
The SA 2011 Low/Mod Bond (249) is anticipated to have a fund balance of $436,000 on June 30,
2025. A $150,000 budget for 2025/26 provides for the ability to evaluate future affordable housing
projects and programs. The decrease in expenses of approximately $500,000 compared to FY
2024/25 is due to one-time costs for utility improvements at vacant real property located at Highway
111 and Dune Palms Road during the current year.
