The Reading Housing Authority is accepting public comment on two key planning documents that will guide its operations in the coming year.<\/p>\n

Drafts of the agency\u2019s 2026 Annual Plan and its Administrative Plan for the Housing Choice Voucher Program are available for review.<\/p>\n

The annual plan outlines the agency\u2019s financial conditions, goals, objectives and key operating policies for public housing.<\/p>\n

The administrative plan serves as the framework for the voucher program, setting local guidelines within federal requirements.<\/p>\n

Both draft plans were prepared in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations, the authority said in a release.<\/p>\n

Officials said all feedback will be considered before final action is taken.<\/p>\n

Residents may schedule an appointment to view the documents at any housing authority administrative or program office by calling 610-775-4813.<\/p>\n

The plans are also posted online at readingha.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The public comment period runs through Jan 8 at 2 p.m. At that time the authority will hold a public hearing at the Willis Center for Administration, 400 Hancock Blvd.<\/p>\n

Written comments may be sent to Stacey J. Keppen, authority president and CEO, at 400 Hancock Blvd., Reading PA 19611, or emailed to info@readingha.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Reading Housing Authority is accepting public comment on two key planning documents that will guide its operations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,857,4736,182,139,28,736,128,130,129,706],"class_list":{"0":"post-38594","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-reading","8":"tag-berks-county","9":"tag-essential-reading","10":"tag-housing","11":"tag-local-news","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-pennsylvania","14":"tag-reading","15":"tag-reading-city","16":"tag-reading-city-headlines","17":"tag-reading-city-news","18":"tag-top-stories-reg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
