Below is the link for the Great Plains Housing Authority fiscal year 2018 annual report.  GPHA did a video presentation instead of a paper report this year.

Great Plains Housing Authority (GPHA) is proposing an addition to the waiting list preferences on the Section 8 Housing Choice program.  The proposed preference for “Mainstream” vouchers to serve clients who are disabled but not elderly and;

• residing in an institutional or other segregated setting;
• at serious risk of institutionalization; or
• at risk of homeless;

The housing authority will require documentation proving disability and proper categories.  Clients can apply for other qualifying preferences on the waiting list.  Qualifying does not guarantee housing assistance.

If adopted, the waiting list will sort in the following order:

• Victims of Domestic Violence;
• Mainstream Vouchers;
  • residing in an institutional or other segregated setting;
  • at serious risk of institutionalization; or
  • at risk of homeless;
• Local households residing in rural communities (under 2,500 population)
  • Elderly & disabled households
  • Families with minor children
  • Singles and couples
• Local households residing in non-rural communities (over 2,500 population)
  • Elderly & disabled households
  • Families with minor children
  • Singles and couples
• Non-local households
  • Elderly & disabled households
  • Families with minor children
  • Singles and couples

GPHA board of commissioners will vote on the preference and amended language at the November 20^th meeting.  The new preference will go into effect immediately upon a passing vote. 

Public comments or questions should be addressed to Great Plains Housing Authority, 300 2^nd Ave NE – Suite 200, Jamestown, ND  58401.
