HUD Issues Memo on 2013 Section 8 Contracts

On March 12, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) Marie Head sent LeadingAge and other stakeholders a memorandum on the agency's plans to manage the funding of Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) under the cuts imposed by the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 sequestration, or across-the-board cuts, applicable to all HUD programs.

At the recent LeadingAge PEAK conference, DAS Marie Head reported that there should be no sequestration impacts on either the Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) or Service Coordination programs.
