$25/UNIT/YEAR RESIDENT PARTICIPATION FUNDING
TELECONFERENCE

The National Housing Law Project and ENPHRONT (Everywhere and Now Public Housing Residents Organizing Nationally Together) are offering a one and one half hour audio teleconference program on the HUD funding for public housing resident participation which is calculated at $25 per unit per year. The teleconference will provide public housing residents, advocates and practitioners with a review and analysis of the public housing resident participation funding (what it is, what it can be used for, what to negotiate for, etc.), copies of sample documents (Agreements with public housing authorities, budgets, HUD forms, etc.) and the experiences of public housing residents and advocates who have negotiated for and are now using the public housing resident participation funding.
The format of the teleconference allows you to listen to the presenters, but you will not be able to ask questions. If you have a particular question, you may fax it to us (510-451-2300) before the call and we will try to answer it in the teleconference.
