Constance Medina, the CEO of the Denton Housing Authority, has informed the board that the Authority has dropped from a high performer
to a standard performer for the Housing Choice Voucher program. Their SEMAP score is 83 – well below the High Performer threshold of 90.
On a number of indicators this year, they did not perform as well as they have in the past.
This year, the Denton Housing Authority could not verify that it completed Housing Quality Standards inspections
for a sample of Housing Choice Voucher units. It also could not verify that the PHA correctly adjusts annual income
and utility allowances at each family’s admission and annual reexamination.
Most detrimental to their score, Denton Housing Authority could not demonstrate that it had entered
HAP contracts for the number of units reserved under its Annual Contributions Contract
