Housing Strategy Check-Up

If your Local Housing Assistance Plan has had the same strategies for some time, give your Plan a Check-Up. Consider the three topic areas below as you review your current strategies. These subjects were discussed at the Coalition's "SHIP Program Administration" workshop in Miami on November 5, 2008. The powerpoint slides for this section of the workshop are available at this link: www.flhousing.org/uploadedcontentfiles/SHIPstrategy.ppt
