Nan McKay and Associates (NMA) is back on HTVN presenting a two-part series on SEVRA ‘09 (Section 8 Voucher Reform Act) and a series on ’09 HCV (Housing Choice Voucher) Funding.

The SEVRA series covers the legislation redraft that is likely to be passed this year and how the changes affect public housing. It also reviews biennial inspections and HQS (Housing Quality Standards) enforcement and abatements. To preview a clip, click here.

The HCV Funding series explains the background of HAP (Housing Assistance Payment) funding that occurred in ’07 and ’08, and the re-benchmarking for ’09. Stay tuned for two certifications offered this year from NMA – one in HCV Eligibility and the other in Public Housing Occupancy. To preview a clip, click here.

Tax Credit (Compliance) Certification!
Don’t risk being noncompliant because there’s too much at stake! Eliminate the risk and take Quadel’s Tax Credit Compliance Certification on HTVN. This certification has been revised based on new information for 2009 and will be available in mid-August. Anyone responsible for completing and overseeing the LIHTC compliance process, including site managers, regional property managers and asset managers, is encouraged to register.
