Our plans and reports

Strategic Plan
On May 23, 2005 SHA's Board approved the agency's five-year strategic plan, which will set strategic directions for the next five years. The new plan, developed by staff across SHA in collaboration with the board, addresses the challenges of continuing to serve those with the lowest incomes in the face of dwindling federal resources. It also outlines strategies that will help SHA to become less dependent on federal subsidies.

Annual Report
SHA's fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. Each year the agency issues an annual report that lists its revenues and net assets. It also includes significant milestones that the agency achieved over the year.

Adopted Budget
The Calendar Year 2008 Adopted Budget covers all of SHA’s operating and capital sources and uses, including federal and local housing programs and enterprise activities for 2008. It was adopted by the Seattle Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
The Government Finance Officers Association of the U.S. and Canada awarded SHA with their Award for Financial Reporting Excellence for the agency's 2006 CAFR. This is Seattle Housing Authority's tenth consecutive award since preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) began in 1998. The award represents a significant accomplishment by a municipal entity and serves as a tribute to the hard work and success of all SHA staff.

Moving To new Ways (MTW) Annual Plans and Reports
SHA is one of about 30 housing authorities across the country participating in HUD's MTW Demonstration Program. This program allows SHA to test innovative methods to improve housing delivery to better meet local needs. While in MTW, SHA may propose and implement alternatives to national regulations for issues spelled out in an agreement signed by SHA and HUD in January 1999.

Each July during MTW, SHA adopts an annual plan that describes activities planned for the following fiscal year and highlights MTW initiatives. In December, SHA prepares an annual report describing the previous fiscal year’s MTW accomplishments.
