Back to blogging -- news we've missed

OK, here's a first glance over the housing news that inconveniently kept on happening while our now-resolved technical difficulties kept us from updating the weblog. On the legislative front, a good place to catch up is the November 16 edition of HAC News, except of course it was only yesterday (Friday) that the House finally passed its budget cut bill.

In other recent housing-related news:

- The Colorado Housing Finance Authority recently posted its draft 2006 Qualified Allocation Plan and a hearing was held Nov. 18 to receive public comments on same.

- GAO reports on the FHA.

- HUD is cleaning up post-Wilma.

- The Houston Chronicle reports the FEMA hotel deadline has some evacuees scared and confused. [MORE: Criticisms from NLIHC.]

- On our main page we report that the mayor of Dallas is refusing to lift a moratorium on tax credit approvals pending an investigation.

OK, there's a start. I'll dig into the federal announcement sites in the morning. Again, thanks for your patience during this unintended hiatus.
