COVID-19 forced us to cancel our annual Public Housing Conference. With the number of current and pending changes from HUD, it has become imperative to offer the conference as an online equivalent. We are excited to announce that we have rescheduled the conference as a 3-day webinar series.

The webinar will be held June 24, June 25, & June 26. Each day will be focused on a specific set of topics. Sessions will begin at 11:00am EDT and end at 4:00 pm EDT. The course is eligible for 16 CPE Credits (approximately 5.3 credits per day).

The agenda for each day is as follows:

• DAY 1 - Public Housing Update (Click for detailed agenda)
  • PHA Financial Management - HUD's New Focus
  • Voucher Program in the year 2020
  • Public Housing/Capital Fund in the Year 2020
• DAY 2 - Public Housing Asset Repositioning (Click for detailed agenda)
  • What is the Future of MY PHA? Asset Repositioning
  • RAD Deal Structure and Related Accounting
  • Asset Repositioning and Program Income
  • Running a PBRA Program - How Different is it from What I Already Know?
• DAY 3 - Accounting/Auditing Update (Click for detailed agenda)
  • Affiliates, Instrumentalities, Non-profits & Component Unit Reporting (GASB Update)
  • Yellowbook and Audit Standards Update
  • Auditing in the 2020 COVID-19 HUD Environment
  • Completing PPC Risk Assessment forms and compliance with new auditing standards

Many of these topics are a result of discussion with HUD at their most recent JAD (Joint Application Development) Session and will have direct impact on most PHAs.  Although most of the material will be relevant to PHA auditors and accounting personnel, we have made an attempt to segregate certain days to be of greater interest to non-accounting personnel. Many of these sessions will be of particular interest to executive directors or program managers.

Classes will be conducted on the Zoom platform. We have been using the platform for over a year and have had great success. This platform has a full range of tools facilitating communication between instructors and attendees.

Register for 1, 2, or all 3 days. The three days together provide up to 16 hours CPE credit (5.3 per day). Days 1 and 2 are primarily Governmental Accounting. Day 3 is primarily Governmental Auditing. Receive a $50 discount when registering for all 3 days.
