HCD Vouchering Workshops

Lawsuits notwithstanding, HCD is moving forward with two upcoming "workshops" to help everyone understand how to navigate the new vouchering regulations. Here is the memo posted at HCD's website (in PDF). There will be a workshop in Sacramento on 2/27 and another in Los Angeles on 3/1, and, after some debate, the workshops are open to anyone who would like to attend. The memo also has some important interim guidelines for how to handle vouchers during this transitional phase; most importantly, HCD is instructing voucher agencies not to refrain from issuing vouchers.
