Proposal due by 10/9/2023
The Scott County Community Development Agency in the city of Shakopee is seeking qualified person(s) to serve as Hearing Officers in Housing Choice Voucher and Rural Development programs. The Scott County CDA is an independent government agency that administers these federally funded housing programs in Scott County. Information about the CDA is posted at www.scottcda.org
A hearing office conducts hearings requested by public housing and Rural Development residents applicants and Housing Choice Voucher program applicants and participants. Typically, the issue is the CDA’s decision to terminate a resident’s lease or a participants’ housing choice voucher, although hearing officers may also hear other issues. The hearings are informal but they must comply with federal law and regulations (24 Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 966 and 982, 7 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 3560) and the Housing Choice Voucher Informal Hearing Procedures and Rural Development Tenant Grievance Procedures.
The selection and appointment of qualified person(s) as hearing officers will be made by the Scott County CDA. Person(s) selected will be asked to sign an agreement.
To qualify as a hearing officer, an applicant must have substantial experience with federal housing choice voucher programs or other federally assisted housing programs; or be an attorney admitted to practice for at least three years. Experience as an administrative hearing officer or referee is desirable. Familiarity with housing choice voucher regulations or other federal regulations is also desirable.
Interested individuals should submit a resume with references and a completed Bid Form to the followed address no later than 4:00pm on Monday October 9th, 2023.
