Keeping Commissioners in the Know: Understanding HUD Repositioning

The term “public housing repositioning” is often used in the affordable housing industry. The purpose of this session is to educate commissioners on what “repositioning” means and how it applies to their agency. The session will include a description of repositioning for HUD public housing and an overview of the HUD program options available to PHAs thinking about repositioning public housing properties. Session panelists include a PHA board commissioner, executive director, affordable housing attorney and consultant specializing in resident relocation and Section 3/workforce training for residents. Including insights from commissioners, the session will include ample time for open dialogue.
