Not-quite-holiday housing mix

- HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) has issued a mass waiver of annual CAPER report deadlines for hurricane-affected jurisdictions.

- Also new at CPD are invitations for comment by Jan. 6, 2006 on new screens for the IDIS computer interfaces affecting the CDBG, ESG, and HOPWA programs, and a revised request for comment on the HOME screens. It's nice that HUD folks are realizing computer interfaces can have the same kind of substantive effects as paper forms and that they're seeking comment accordingly.

- A long string of housing activist groups have signed a letter asking the NCAA to keep athletes who receive housing stipends out of publicly subsidized housing.

- The National Multi Housing Council is offering would-be campaigners an anti-NIMBY presentation complete with suggested script and Power Point slides.

- GovExec gets festive with a (slightly clunky) Santa-themed ode to civil servants.
