Housing Authority awaiting appointment of new board members

Mar. 27—ANDERSON — The Anderson Housing Authority has been operating without a full board of directors since April 2023.

Board President Mike Dauss said Wednesday the board has made recommendations to Anderson Mayor Thomas Broderick Jr. on possible appointments to the seven-member board.

Dauss said the board has to consist of an equal number of Republicans and Democrats.

Republican Kevin Sulc resigned in 2022 and Democrat Thomas Newman Jr. passed away last September.

Kim Townsend, executive director of the Anderson Housing Authority, said not having a full board impacts their status with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.

"We worked hard to get out of troubled status," Townsend said. "In troubled status we can apply for grants and other funding opportunities."

Dauss said state law requires the mayor to make the appointment to the board.

Broderick said he will provide two names to the board of directors within the next two weeks.

"I have provided names in the past, but they have a strict criteria," he said. "They can't be a city employee or own property that may become involved in HUD housing.

"I want someone who has an interest and passion in low to moderate housing," Broderick said. "I want an independent thinker as the agency is in the process of changing the housing model. I want people who will ask good questions."

In other business, the AHA board approved a resolution requiring tenants that owe money to the agency to repay the funds within 45 days.

The money owed could include rent payments and damage to housing.

The resolution specifies that a prospective client applying for a Section 8 housing voucher has to repay any debts.

If the debt remains the potential client can't receive a housing voucher and will be removed from the waiting list.

The resolution states the potential tenant cannot move from the public housing program in bad standing to Section 8.
