Thursday afternoon Katrina miscellany

- CLPHA's hurricane recovery page includes statistics for Louisiana and Mississippi regions on numbers of Section 8 vouchers and public housing units affected. They're also linking to this page (thanks!) and providing other disaster information links.

- Novogradac has moved its October New Markets Tax Credit conference from New Orleans to Chicago. The Novogradac site is continuing to compile state housing finance agencies' responses. Many of the other links on the Novogradac Katrina page have previously been posted here at the AHF blog, but the page is intelligently organized and worth a look.

- More regional housing responses: Austin, TX (apparently a subsidized building, too) ... Washington County, PA ... Affordable housing "glut" comes in handy in Houston.

- NAHRO now has a message from the Housing Authority of New Orleans including numbers for employees and residents to call. NAHRO's Southeastern Regional Council (SERC) has more information and has set up a "command center" that is requesting contact from SERC members and specifically housing authorities in Mississippi.

[UPDATE: The NH&RA main page has many more Katrina details for the multifamily housing industry, especially on efforts by state housing officials. Especially important: it directs readers to last November's Housing Notice 2004-22, "Disaster Recovery Guidance by Multifamily Housing After a Presidentially-Declared Disaster."]
