Best Practices for Program Success
Best Practices in Managing VASH Vouchers
Presenters, Michele Lazdowsky and Becky Gligo
Leasing our nation’s veterans has recently been a top priority for HUD, as well as for many PHAs awarded funding under the HUD–Veterans Affairs (VA) supportive housing (HUD-VASH) program, which provides special vouchers for homeless veterans. As a PHA, you don’t get paid an administrative fee for unleased VASH vouchers — so the sooner a veteran is leased, the sooner fees are earned for you to administer the program. In working with PHAs and the VA through the Housing First initiative, we’ve discovered some best practices to quickly and effectively lease up homeless veterans. In this session, presenters Michele Lazdowsky and Becky Gligo will share those best practices and discuss what your agency needs to know in order to run a successful VASH program.
