Hands-on Learning for Active Solutions

ACOP: Hands-on Session
Presenter, Cara Gillette

Join us for this intensive hands-on ACOP workshop! We’ll review mandatory changes required under VAWA 2013, service animal and assistance animal policies, and the new changes to flat rent requirements.

We’ll also discuss some of the important discretionary policies that further the mandatory requirements. Are you struggling with your occupancy rate in public housing? What about your rent collection rate? Your community service program design? Are your termination actions meeting due process requirements? Compliant and specific policies are a critical factor in navigating these complex areas of public housing.

Bring your PHA’s ACOP to this session and be prepared to take notes. Time will be reserved for discussing your policies. Join us for this fast-paced session!

This is an interactive policy workshop. Please bring a copy of your PHA's ACOP.
