Through the use of local Public Housing Agencies as program Administrators since 1974 HUD has housed nearly six hundred thousand families through the Existing Housing Phase of this program. In a recent report “Rental Housing Assistance for the Poor: A Southern Analysis” published by the Southern Regional Council in Atlanta, Georgia, Southern state in responding to the needs of non-metropolitan areas...” through the Section 8 existing housing program. HUD’s success with the program in North Carolina can be attributed to, the report continues, “a flexible and diverse approach to Section 8 existing programs by the stae. North Carolina has taken advantage of the fact that in rural areas Section 8 programs do not require the existence of a local housing authority. As a consequence, existing housing programs cap ,be administered by any public entity such as a community action agency, a regional council of governments, or a department of social ser vices.” It was these housing agencies and authorities which were represented at the two-day meeting. Ned Fowler, Executive Director of the Nor thwestern Regional Housing Authority and President of the Association, opened the meeting with an update of program regulations. He explained that HUD’s Central Office in Washington, D.C. is taking a greater interest in providing technical assistance and administrative guidance to Public Housing Agencies connected with Section 8 programs. A summary of HUD’s latest administrative issuances were provided for workshop participants. Key program policies were discussed in “round table” fashion utilizing experienced program directors as topic moderators. HUD’s home counseling program, a discussion topic which drew considerable response from the participants, was moderated by Gloria Bryant and Elza Loflin, President and Vice-President respectively of the North Carolina Federation of Housing Counselors. On Friday, program policy issues were recapped utilizing summaries of the previous day’s discussions. The absence of HUD per sonnel, ordinarily in at tendance at the Association’s quarterly meetings and workshops, was explained as being due to conflicts in scheduling and short notice. Contractual and legal problems experienced by Public Housing Agencies nationwide were brought to the attention of the group. The inadequacy of ap propriate funding to im plement HUD’s new regulations regarding mobile home owners was addressed and findings will be forwarded to HUD’s Area Office in Greensboro as well as the Central Office. Future workshops are being organized around specific areas of program concern as designated by HUD officials and expressed interests of the Association’s membership.
