People usually know more than they think they do, but those who think they know everything usually don’t. Training folks in the affordable housing industry is fun and rewarding.

The […] What are we supposed to do with our tenant’s medical waste? Whether you are an Elderly or Disabled property or multifamily site there is no doubt that the medical waste ends up someplace on the property other than the appropriate receptacle.

For those who have not used it, you should know that it is not […] The legal skirmishing of the PBCA selection process has delayed this announcement now for quite some time, however the affordable housing industry has been waiting patiently for this eventual announcement. So as of June 3, 2013, the status of the PBCA NOFA is this: “Unless HUD is prohibited from doing so by the United States […] Once in a while I like to reflect upon what seems to be the more important issues facing the affordable housing industry based on the number of views we’ve had on the articles.
