Ready to go!
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has uploaded to the HUD channel on YouTube two of its recent question-and-answer (Q&A) Webinars on the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD).
You’ll find links to the Webinars under “Technical Assistance” on the RAD “Application and Closing Materials” page, but you can also follow the direct links below.
