BHC prides itself in maintaining high-quality, attractive and safe properties. A professional management company is contracted to administer and manage the properties. Residents are required to sign and live up to a comprehensive rental agreement that includes an anti-drug and crime policy. Residents are also required to provide yearly income certifications, ensuring that the units are being occupied by the household for which they are intended.

Regulatory agreements ensure that the units will remain affordable to low and moderate income residents in perpetuity. These agreements also regulate the manner and condition in which these units will be maintained. Yearly unit inspections are conducted both by City staff and by BHC’s agents and any deficiencies are promptly corrected. BHC keeps a capital replacement reserve fund to allow for major repair and systems replacements as the years go by.

THE CORPORATION

A nine-member volunteer Board of Directors operates BHC. In accordance with its By-laws and Articles of Incorporation, the directors are appointed by different segments representative of the Burbank community: the Chamber of Commerce, the Ministerial Association, the Board of Realtors, Wesley Housing (senior housing), and the Advisory Council on Disabilities.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Burbank Redevelopment Agency appoints two members and two members are tenants of the properties owned by BHC. The organization is a HUD-recognized Community-based Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and is therefore eligible to receive HUD’s’ 15% set-aside of HOME funds from the City of Burbank.

The Board of Directors meets bi-monthly on the fourth Tuesday of the month.  We welcome visitors and ask that they inform us of their intention to visit.  An agenda can be provided upon request.  Agendas are prepared the Fridays before the meeting.   Please call for more information.   The next regularly scheduled Board meeting is on June 24, 2008.
