RAD Training 2018: Keys to A Successful RAD Conversion

On May 17 and 18, 2018 HUD hosted a training for PHAs and partners initiating the conversion of public housing properties under RAD. The training was geared towards preparing PHAs who are new participants in RAD to execute on well-planned and efficient conversions that best address local needs and priorities. The conference covered critical topics for any PHA initiating a RAD conversion including strategic portfolio planning, resident rights, creative RAD tools, and the latest updates on policy and practice.

This web page contains recordings of all of the sessions, the presentation slides, and a list of “Key Takeaways” that HUD produced.
