In and via the NH&RA newsletter

The National Housing & Rehabilitation Association is now organizing its online news by topic, not just by date, so you need to scroll down considerably to find all the most recent items. Do scroll down, though. (And do consider subscribing to their newsletter, which presents the info more tidily.)

Among the current items, drawn from both Web page and newsletter: tax credit and multifamily housing events today in Oregon, Maryland and Wisconsin... Sample Katrina relief documents from Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development... an informed view of yesterday's 202/811 announcement... and... oh, just go read it.

Thanks especially to NH&RA for linking to a page full of well organized Katrina advice for tax credit housing landlords plus a continuing call to report vacant units at the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. NCHFA is also offering a well-considered take on the SWERN issue: it notes that tax credit landlords who want to invoke the disaster waivers under last Friday's IRS Notice 2005-69 need to register affected units at www.SWERN.gov -- but like quite a few other folks, NCHFA is also suggesting additional ways for landlords to get timely word of their available housing to tenants in need.
