Keeping the commitment: an action plan for better housing and communities for all

Article Abstract:

The National Assn of Housing and Rehabilitation Officials (NAHRO) presents its policy, as developed and presented in Sep 1987 by the NAHRO Task Force on the Future. NAHRO is concerned that affordable low-income housing is disappearing, and notes that two million affordable low-income housing units were lost between 1974 and 1983 from US housing stock. It is suggested that state and local housing initiatives must replace rigid federal ones, that more low-income housing production be effected, that existing housing stock be preserved, that housing policy mesh with communities, and that tax and housing policy must be coordinated. Among other areas addressed are: public housing revitalization, rental assistance programs, block grants for housing production, a partnership fund for community reinvestment programs, rural housing, and infrastructure finance.

Contractual agreements

Article Abstract:

Public housing authorities (PHAs) must comply with state and federal statutes and regulations, and it is therefore important for their operatives to understand their obligations when making contractual arrangements. Examples of contractual concerns which PHA officials must address include: bidding processes, awards of contracts, pre-construction meetings, contract performance, and contract completion. Turnkey development projects' contractual management issues are also discussed.
