# Pasadena Rental Housing Board Meeting: October 1, 2026

The Pasadena Rental Housing Board meeting on October 1, 2026, was primarily informational, with no contract awards, bid approvals, or procurement votes identified. Housing Department staff reviewed Section 8 and related rental assistance: Pasadena serves about 1,350 households from an allocation of roughly 1,500 vouchers. Staff discussed the expected end of Emergency Housing Voucher funding and said newly identified HUD tenant-protection vouchers may help maintain assistance for participating households. The board also received a Measure A funding update. Public Health staff described a proposed community-engagement partnership using promotoras; members discussed a previously earmarked $60,000 outreach allocation, the delayed launch, and the need to review the detailed action and engagement plans before implementation. No new spending approval was taken. Planning staff presented work on a required Environmental Justice Element, supported by a consultant, with community engagement underway.

The board held a second study session on possible administrative penalties for charter violations. After reviewing other jurisdictions’ practices, staffing demands, and existing remedies, members did not establish penalties; the chair directed staff to track emerging violation patterns and return with further information as needed. The board also received legal training on rent-adjustment appeals. The August 20, 2026 meeting minutes were approved; no procurement-related vote or spending action was identified.
