Housing Choice Voucher Forum

On June 19, 2007, the Office of Public and Indian Housing, Office of Housing Voucher Programs had the first Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) forum. The purpose of the forum is to maintain and ensure open lines of communication between HUD and its practitioners regarding issues and recommendations for improvements in the Section 8 program. These forums are not designed to reach consensus on any HUD policy, rather it is to discuss each Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) individual experiences in administering the HCV program. The forum will meet quarterly to share program issues and concerns ranging from core administrative and financial issues to the content and lay-out of the HCV web page.

Currently, we are finalizing the plans for the next forum scheduled to take place on November 1-2, 2007. All participants who attended the first forum will be invited to participate in the upcoming forum because we initially asked the first group of participants for a commitment of one year. Regrettably, due to limited space, we could only invite a small number of additional PHAs to participate. However, PHAs interested in participating in future forums, may contact Stephanie McQueen of the Housing Voucher Management and Operations Divison via e-mail at Stephanie.Y.Mcqueen@hud.gov.
