RE: RESIDENT COMMISSIONER RECOMMENDATION
Dear Board of Commissioners,
The Area Housing Authority of the County of Ventura (AHA) has been in the process of recruiting a
resident for the position of Resident Commissioner.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires each public housing authority to
have a resident commissioner that is a public housing resident or recipient of housing assistance in the
tenant-based Section 8 program. The California Health and Safety Code requires the resident commissioner
to be a tenant of the AHA. To meet both requirements, the resident commissioner of the AHA must be a
public housing resident or a Section 8 participant living in an AHA owned unit.
The AHA solicited nominations from all qualified residents for a period of thirty (30) days; six (6)
nominations were received. All six (6) nominees were contacted to confirm their interest in the Resident
Commissioner position. The responses were as follows:
· 1 declined the nomination
· 1 requested an application but did not submit it by the deadline
· 4 complete applications were received and reviewed
On June 7, 2021, the candidates participated in an interview where each shared their experience and
qualifications for the position. Though all candidates were enthusiastic about representing the tenant body
on the board, only one was selected. Based on her qualifications and experience, the AHA hereby
recommends Ms. Angela Bradley to be considered for the Resident Commissioner position at the Area
Housing Authority of the County of Ventura (AHA) during the June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2023 term.
Sincerely,
Mayra Ochoa
