Voucher Funding 2006: Responses to Increased Funding Levels
KnowledgePlex: Expert Chats
Since February, HUD has notified public housing agencies of their voucher funding levels for 2006. A substantial majority of PHAs have funding to support more vouchers in 2006 compared to 2005.
This chat, sponsored by KnowledgePlex and the National Housing Law Project, will address how PHAs and housing advocates can respond in the rest of 2006 to maximize the number of families served, with rules that are consistent with the program goals and guidelines.
In this chat, we will hear from
* Milan M. Ozdinec, deputy assistant secretary for public housing and voucher programs, HUD
* David A. Vargas, director of housing voucher programs, HUD
* Barbara Sard, director of housing policy, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
* Catherine Bishop, attorney, National Housing Law Project.
During the call, there will be a question and answer period and participants may submit written questions via the Internet.
Who Should Participate: The online discussion will benefit local housing advocates and housing authority staff and decision makers, and others concerned about current voucher funding.
