Event Registration

This is a 2019 update.  This covers the additional guidance HUD issued in June of 2017 which was extensive, also information on the new yet-to-be-issued VAWA forms, and the changes needed to their emergency transfer forms if they used the Model form issued by HUD in 2016.

As you know HUD issued the Final Rule on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) on October 20 and on November 16 published it in the Federal Register.  The Rule is effective December 16 – this includes the new Notice and its requirements and the new Certification form.  In addition, the emergency transfer rule is effective in May 2017.  This webinar will focus on VAWA including the expected changes from the 2013 reauthorization Final Rule.

This training will discuss how the MOR process unfolds.  The session is led by a PBCA representative and presented from their point-of-view, the steps they take, including the day(s) on site, to thoroughly assess your compliance with your project-based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Contract.

It will also help you understand how to best prepare for any upcoming MOR, and just in general, how to ensure you are running your property in a HUD compliant manner on a daily basis. Time will be set aside to discuss more in depth such topics as VAWA, EIV and lead paint. We will also discuss, generally, the most frequent findings they come across, and based on experience, what attributes set Superior and Above Average properties from all the rest.
