By PHADA President Mark Gillett— PHADA held its annual Legislative Forum September 8–10. For the first time, we were at the new and bright Royal Sonesta Hotel on the Senate side of Capitol Hill. As always, the meeting was timely, providing us the opportunity to meet with HUD officials, members of Congress, and their staff as they work on HUD appropriations and other legislation. While in Washington, PHADA’s various committees also addressed some policy objectives and other organizational priorities. #HousingAuthority #PHADALF24

By PHADA President Mark Gillett— Take a moment and think back to the year 1999. You may recall the world spent much of the year worrying about a possible technological meltdown that might come with the onset of Y2K. President Bill Clinton had been impeached by the House of Representatives, but the Senate acquitted him in early ’99. The war in Kosovo raged on while the Europeans created a brand-new currency, appropriately called the Euro. Sadly, John F. Kennedy, Jr. and his wife Carolyn died in an Atlantic Ocean plane crash. A new TV show debuted on HBO that would go on to vast commercial and critical success. It was called The Sopranos. All this was in the same year that PHADA and Rutgers University initiated the successful Executive Director Education Program (EDEP). #EDEP #HousingAuthority #professionalDevelopment
Happy 25th Anniversary, EDEP

By PHADA President Mark Gillett— I mentioned in my previous column that we are now less than three months away from the start of FY 25. With that deadline approaching, the House of Representatives has been marking up individual spending bills that contain significant reductions in non-defense programs including housing. While those cuts are sure to be rejected by the Senate and White House, and a budget will not be finished until well after the deadline, it is important for us to weigh in with our elected officials. hashtag#HousingAuthority hashtag#PublicHousing hashtag#AffordableHousing hashtag#HUD

PHADA President Mark Gillett discusses the challenges House appropriators will face as they begin markup of the T-HUD spending bill including working within the parameters of last year’s budget agreement, which set strict caps on domestic discretionary spending and leaves little room for even inflationary adjustments. #HousingAuthority #PublicHousing #AffordableHousing #HUD
