He will present the way to prepare a strategic action plan that becomes a useful resource to accomplish your agency’s goals within limited funding.

Regulatory Knowledge for Smart Management
Why Your Agency Should Be Taking a Second Look at RAD
Presenter, Carrol Vaughan
The RAD demonstration program is a unique opportunity for housing authorities to convert their at-risk public housing to long-term Section 8 rental assistance contracts. In this session, we’ll cover the latest information on the program and discuss why your housing authority should take a serious look at whether RAD would work for your agency. We’ll also hear from staff at a large housing authority on why their agency is considering submitting an application, and review the thought process involved in making the decision to apply.
Fair Housing/Civil Rights Reviews: Are You Prepared?
Presenter, Annie Stevenson
Using HUD’s civil rights review checklist, we’ll discuss fair housing requirements for the public housing and HCV programs. Topics will include limited English proficiency (LEP), reasonable accommodations, alternative communication methods, and more. Don’t miss this opportunity to prepare for civil rights monitoring.
