Page 1 of 3
referencing a previous meeting where there was uncertainty. Ms.

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

Public Hearing for Consideration and Approval of the WRHA Proposed Operating Budget for
FY2026 and PHA Board Resolution #25-01 – Tyrone Franklin, Executive Director
Background Information
The Williamsburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s (WRHA) fiscal year 2026 budget
for the year beginning October 1, 2025, for Board review and discussion is attached. 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.

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.

$365,000, which is a $15,000 shortfall of our projected budget. We anticipate the release of the
funds during the 4th quarter. During the 3rd quarter of FY25, our checking account deposits and
investments had a combined total of $965,563.

QUARTERLY REPORT
April 2025 – June 2025
1. 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.

Self Sufficiency
The Authority has partnered with Virginia Housing to provide free homeownership education
classes. 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

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.

Consideration and Approval of Write-Off for Uncollectible Receivables – Tyrone Franklin,
Executive Director
Background Information
During the normal course of operating the 104 rental units owned by WRHA, tenants
periodically move out without paying for rent, late fees, and work order repairs. 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.
Staff Recommendation
That the Board approve the write-off of outstanding receivables as of September 30, 2025, in
the amount of $22,215.08.
