(RECAP: Martinsville officials hope to be able to transfer the city’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program to the Danville Redevelopment & Housing Authority effective July 1, the start of the next fiscal year. Depending on how long it takes HUD to approve it, the transfer might take longer, according to Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Wayne Knox. Seated as the Martinsville Redevelopment & Housing Authority, Martinsville City Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution to seek HUD’s approval of the transfer. If the transfer does not occur effective July 1, the soonest it could occur would be Jan. 1.)
