🏠 Housing Authorities HUD-compliant · Live in Merced County

For housing authorities.
Used by housing authorities.

Public Housing Authorities, RHA boards, and HUD-funded agencies use CivicCA for board of commissioners meetings, ACOP/Admin Plan hearings, MTW reporting, and resident advisory boards — with HUD-aware templates and FOIA-friendly portals.

§ 01 / Why PHAs switch

Off Word and shared drives.
Onto a FOIA-friendly portal.

Housing authorities juggle the Board of Commissioners, ACOP/Admin Plan public review, and constant records requests — usually on Word and email. Here’s the difference (and it’s live today at Merced County HA).

The old way

Word packets + shared drives

×The Board of Commissioners packet is built in Word and emailed as a PDF; ACOP/Admin Plan drafts circulate the same way.
×The 45-day ACOP/Admin Plan public-review notice and comment intake are tracked by hand.
×FOIA and public-records requests mean digging through email and shared drives.
×Residents and RAB members can’t find agendas, minutes, or the Admin Plan online.
×Minutes are retyped after each meeting; there’s no searchable archive for HUD audits.
