Event Description

While most Section 8 training focuses on the HUD regulations relative to management of the properties, this session will focus on recommended and workable management practices. Covered areas will include (1) management of waiting lists and development of Tenant Selection Plans; (2) handling reasonable accommodation requests, including those relating to assistance animals and reserved parking; and (3) establishment of community policies, including pet policies, unit transfer policies, criminal screening, VAWA implementation, and fraud prevention and detection. The course will also include a full discussion of applicant qualification procedures, including how to properly verify household deductions, such as childcare expenses and medical deductions.
