body
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this report is for the CHDC Housing Director to provide an overview of property management activities for the reporting period including general operations, maintenance, lodger matters, marketing efforts, and review of accounts receivable balances at each center. The report is intended as informational to support discussion, planning, and recommendations from the commission to property management. Included in this report is CHDC's monthly occupancy report, which highlights occupancy trends, projected occupancy vs. actual occupancy, and rent revenue.

CHDC staff at each of the three publicly owned farmworker centers (Centers) provide day to day services including enrolling applicants (lodgers) into or out of the housing program, collecting rent, maintenance, cleaning, and cooking three meals a day, six days a week. Local zoning ordinance (18.104.010) requires the Centers be occupied for no more than three hundred thirty days in a calendar year and by no more than sixty farmworkers at any one time.
CHDC's contractional obligation includes an operational schedule that allows for a total of 59,160 bed nights across the Centers or "Scheduled Capacity - Nights" (page 3 of attached report). The Centers are required (by State) to meet an occupancy rate of 95%, which equates to 56,202 bed nights or "Monthly Projected Nights" (page 3 of attached report).
