PHADA’s 2010 Commissioners’ Conference
Housing authority executive directors, staff and commissioners will not
want to miss PHADA’s 2010 Commissioners’ Conference in Tampa,
Florida. The meeting will be held next January 10-13 at the Marriott
Tampa Waterside Hotel and Marina.
During the 2010 conference, there will be informative sessions
conducted on some of the key policy and budgetary matters that
will impact HAs at the onset of the 21st century’s second decade. As
always, PHADA is planning some practical “how to” sessions as well.
As we get ready for the second year of the Obama Administration and
the 111th Congress, there will be sessions covering the outlook for
HUD appropriations and housing authorization legislation. Topics
to be covered include the status of the Section 8 Voucher Reform Act
(SEVRA) and the potential for an expansion of the Moving to Work
program. PHADA’s own legislative agenda, which includes a major
deregulation initiative for small HAs, and a plan for allowing some
agencies to convert their properties to Section 8 assistance, will also be
covered in detail.
HAs all over the country are making good use of the $4 billion in
stimulus capital funds Congress appropriated in ’09. PHADA is
planning a few sessions to help HAs keep up with federal reporting
requirements, including the number of jobs they have created and
maintained with their programs. Sessions will also identify some best
practices HAs can use in administering their stimulus capital funds.
HUD’s Capital Needs Assessment (CNA) study is now well underway.
Congress authorized the study to look at the modernization backlog
and ongoing needs of HAs. A session will be scheduled to cover how
the study may impact HA capital funding well into the future. In a
related matter, the Department is now exploring new physical needs
assessment requirements for HAs. This topic, too, will be part of a
Tampa presentation.
With so much focus on energy conservation and greening in
Washington now, PHADA will conduct a few sessions that will
provide housing professionals the information they need to make
their properties more energy cost efficient. Other sessions will cover
the latest news on HUD’s implementation of a new Public Housing
Assessment System, including the on-site management review designed
to replace the MASS self-certification.
PHADA will take a look at the Housing Choice Voucher program and
possible changes in the funding formula and potential new ways HUD
will calculate administrative fees. The latest information pertaining to
HCV funding shortfalls some HAs are encountering will also be covered.
The popular “Current Events” session will, of course, be scheduled for
the Tampa meeting. In this session, PHADA staff and membership
will outline the latest important regulatory and legislative information
emanating from Washington.
There will also be a number of informational sessions for
Commissioners, focusing on ethics and good oversight
practices, among other topics. The presentations for boards of
commissioners will focus on real life everyday practical issues
that HAs deal with on a regular basis.
These are just some of the planned workshops for the 2010
Commissioners’ Conference. More information concerning
the educational sessions will be provided in the near future.
In the meantime, members can contact the Washington office
(202-546-5445) or www.phada.org for further information.
EDEP
Executive Director Education Program
Sponsored by PHADA in conjunction with Rutgers University
The Executive Director Education Program (EDEP) will
continue January 8–9, 2010 in conjunction with the 2010
Commissioners’ Conference. Two courses will be offered:
PHAS/SEMAP
Friday, January 8, 2010
This session reviews the theory behind PHAS/SEMAP
and provides a detailed explanation of each of the HUD
indicators, including how each is measured and graded. The
use of PHAS/SEMAP as management tools is discussed, and
participants are shown how to improve their authority’s scores
through a systems approach.
Financial Management
Saturday, January 9, 2010
This one-day course offers the executive director a “big
picture” approach to fiscal resource management. Participants
learn the basics of budget preparation as well as HUD audit
requirements. Project-based budgeting is emphasized in order to
help executive directors cope with anticipated changes at HUD.
EDEP is modeled after the state of New Jersey’s successful
executive director certification program, administered by
Rutgers University. Participants completing all ten courses
offered in the program will receive a certificate from Rutgers
and PHADA. For more information, visit phada.org/edep or
call the PHADA office at (202) 546-5445.
IMPORTANT: You will receive a confirmation of your EDEP
registration from Rutgers University. If you do not receive a
confirmation, please contact the PHADA office at (202) 5465445. EDEP registrations must be received by Monday,
December 7, 2009. Class size is limited to 40 participants.
Registration will not be available on-site. Refunds will only
be issued to registrants who withdraw on or before Monday,
December 14, 2009.
