Ms. Phares confirmed that although there was a brief issue when HUD temporarily froze funds, everything has been running smoothly since, and staff have been diligent about quickly drawing down available funds to avoid future problems. B. QUARTERLY OPERATING REPORT 1. Presentation and Discussion of the Quarterly Operating Report – JaLauna Burton, Public Housing Administrator JaLauna Burton, Public Housing Administrator, gave an update on public housing, workforce housing, volunteers and interns, the waiting list, projects, quarterly activities, personnel, and recognitions. Ms. Williams asked how many applicants were on the waiting list. Ms. Burton stated they had received 1,611. Ms. Ramsey asked if the applicant list will be narrowed down based on eligibility. Ms. Burton explained that applicants have 30 days to submit verification documents, with multiple reminders already sent. The list will close on June 9, and those who haven’t responded will become inactive. While they hope to keep around 800 of the 1,600 applicants, many typically drop off. Staff and human services are helping ensure submissions are completed. Vice Chair Dent asked for a reminder on the total number of units. Ms. Burton responded that there are 104 units in total with 66 designated for families (including children) and 38 reserved for elderly and disabled residents. Chair Pons appreciated the hard work of the team. 6. NEW BUSINESS A. Presentation of the WRHA Annual Financial Report for FY2024 – Aaron Hawkins, Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates. Aaron Hawkins, Auditor, provided an overview of the FY24 financial report, noting that the audit received an unmodified (clean) opinion, meaning the financial statements are materially correct. Key highlights include stable net position (a slight $22,000 decrease) and over $750,000 in federal assistance received, which triggered an additional federal compliance audit. There were no internal control or federal compliance findings. The annual HUD and Federal Audit Clearinghouse submissions have also been completed and submitted. Chair Pons expressed appreciation for receiving another unmodified audit report filed on time and acknowledged the awareness and handling of the WRHA Board of Commissioners May 5, 2025 Page 2 of 3 required federal audit. Mr. Hawkins clarified that no federal findings were identified, and while the HUD submission has been completed, they are still awaiting any potential feedback or recommendations from HUD. He assured they will address any issues if raised. Ms. Ramsey asked whether the federal audit requirement applies every year the agency receives over $750,000 in federal funds or if it continues for multiple years once triggered. Mr. Hawkins confirmed that the audit is only required in any year the threshold is exceeded. He added that the threshold is expected to increase soon, from $750,000 to potentially $1 million, which will change the trigger point for future audits. Moved by Ramsey, seconded by Kern-Scheerer, to accept the audit. Carried 7-0-0 by a roll call vote: Ayes: Redcross, Williams, Ramsey, Pons, Dent, Kern-Scheerer, Prescott 7. ADJOURNMENT At 3:19 p.m., there being no additional business before the Board, the WRHA Board of Commissioners meeting of May 5, 2025, was adjourned. Moved by Ramsey, seconded by Williams to adjourn.

The budget represents the annual spending plan for all the activities administered by WRHA. A notice of Public Hearing for the budget was published in the Virginia Gazette on July 30, 2025. The information in the budget is required by Section 6(c)(4) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The operating budget for the low-income public housing program provides a summary of the proposed/budgeted receipts and expenditures, approval of budgeted receipts and expenditures, and justification of certain specified amounts. HUD reviews the information to determine if the operating plan adopted by the public housing agency (PHA) and the amounts are reasonable, and that the PHA is in compliance with the procedures prescribed by HUD. Staff Recommendation That the Board approve of the FY26 Budget as presented. Attachments Proposed Budget FY 2026 Notes Proposed Budget FY 2026 Copy of Notice 2026 Budget Hearing PHA Board Resolution Proposed Budget FY 2026 Attached please find the Williamsburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s (WRHA) fiscal year 2026 budget for the year beginning October 1, 2025, for Board review and approval. The budget represents the annual spending plan for all activities administered by WRHA. A notice of Public Hearing for the budget was published in the Virginia Gazette on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Public Housing Operating Budget Summary The proposed budget for Public Housing is balanced at $1,388,282 for fiscal year 2026. This is a 9.5% increase from the 2025 operating budget. Revenues 1. Rental and other income The 104 public housing units managed by the Authority will generate approximately $40,416 per month. This amount is based on an annual rental income estimated for this budget of $485,000. The rental revenue projection is contingent on the fluctuation of tenant income and their ability to pay during the fiscal year. WRHA will also generate revenue in the following areas: excess utility charges totaling $14,000; interest on investments of $115.00; revenue from laundry rooms totaling $10,000; vending machine revenue of $1,000; and other income in the amount of $18,000. In this year’s budget, WRHA will be seeking $100,000 from the City to fund the contingency line item. These resources will be used to assist the Authority with costs associated with cost-of-living, merit, and employee benefit increases that negatively impact the finite resources we currently receive from HUD to operate. In addition, these funds will assist with unforeseen expenses derived from operating three new laundry facilities-i.e., increases in water and electricity billing. 2. HUD Subsidies The HUD Operating Subsidy for FY26 is estimated to be $380,167. This is roughly $6,800 decrease from the FY25 budget. The HUD Capital Fund Operating Subsidy is projected at #380,000. The FY26 HUD subsidies budget amounts are conservative and reflect a slight decrease from the previous budget. HUD’s funding formula involves eligibility determinations, administrative scoring, and the availability of federal funds. As a notes, President Trump’s funding allocation for Public Housing in the FY26 federal budget is as follows: Operating Fund - $4.873 billion-$603 million less than FY25 HUD Capital Fund - $3.2 billion-level with FY25. Page 2 of 9 Expenses • Salaries and Benefits There are six (6) full-time and one (1) part-time positions programmed in the proposed FY26 budget that will carry out the day-to-day operations of WRHA. • Maintenance The Authority will continue its efforts to modernize our existing housing stock due to the effects of age. Our goal will be to provide physically sound, safe, decent, and energy-efficient environments that meet HUD’s housing quality standards. Total expenses budgeted for FY 2026 are $1,388,282.

OPERATING REPORT (events/things that happened) Turn Arounds The Authority has turned twenty-eight (28) units during the 2024-2025 fiscal year, October – September. During this quarter, including July, there were three move-outs and one eviction due to non-payment of rent. The Authority lost a resident to an unfortunate, sudden death. There are 17 units with outstanding balances totaling $7,846.46. The Authority has filed unlawful detainers for those units and has a court date scheduled for August. Debt Set-Off The Authority collected $6,984.95 from prior tenants' debt set-off payments during the fiscal year. The Virginia Department of Taxation withheld $245.31 for administrative fees, bringing the total collected to $ 6,739.64. The staff continues to pursue and collect outstanding balances owed to the Authority. Workforce Housing There are currently 14 rental homes in the WFH program. Thirteen units are occupied, and quotes have been requested to make repairs to the newest one. Currently, there are eight employees on the waiting list, and three move-outs are scheduled in 2026. Outstanding Work Orders With the assistance of contractors, 253 work orders were completed last quarter. The Authority is working diligently with contractors to address outstanding work orders due to the staff shortage. The Authority continues to manage the flow of work orders within the guidelines of HUD. Job Posting The Maintenance Mechanic position is now posted, and the Authority is diligently working to fill it. Waiting List The Authority re-opened the waiting list on April 30, 2025, for online applications. Currently, there are 708 applicants on the waiting list.

The first class will be held at the Stryker Center, Room 128, on September 20, 2025. Additional dates have been scheduled for 2026. Triangle Commercial Site The Authority continues to work closely with RJS & Associates to oversee the Triangle building tenants. Recently, the HVAC unit at Luck Kee Hair Salon was inoperable and RJS secured quotes and approved Cox-Powell to replace the unit. The installation is estimated to begin in early August. A temporary system was installed in the meantime. Highland Park Bus Stop On May 29, 2025, City staff, along with representatives from Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA), met with residents of Highland Park at Union Baptist Church to discuss the community’s interest in the relocation of the current bus stop located on N. Henry St. to Dunning St. in front of Katherine Circle Apartments. There was community consensus that this would be the ideal location for a new bus stop and requested that the City and WATA proceed with planning. Project Updates Laundry rooms are completed; however, the Codes & Compliance inspector requested several changes/repairs to be completed before the Certificate of Occupancy can be issued. Automatic Leasing has installed washers and dryers in all facilities. The Authority is working with Cardinal Vending to provide vending machines in the facilities. KAMCO is removing all Verkada cameras and replacing them with new cameras due to costly annual licensing fees and unreliable technical support. The new camera footage clarity is Page 3 of 22 exceptional, and it is easier to maneuver online. Electronic access to all laundry facilities has been installed at the entrance of the buildings. This will allow residents to have access to the facilities through an app on their personal phones or FOBs issued by the Authority.

Seventeen tenants moved out during this past year owing $22,215.08, net of any applicable security deposits. To accurately reflect the amount receivable from tenants at fiscal year-end, Board approval of this write-off is necessary. This amount will be classified as bad debt expense for FY 2025. Staff will continue to pursue collection of delinquent accounts with wage garnishments when possible, but more so with the state’s Debt Set-Off Program. Board action to write-off uncollectible receivables is required by our auditors and HUD guidelines.
