Details for Monday's Mark-to-Market call

The HUD-hosted Mark-to-Market conference call scheduled for Monday, March 27 may be of interest to housing managers who have heard tantalizing hints that the program may not be really, really going to end on September 30. A "Broadcast Details" email distributed yesterday on the OMHAR/OAHP listserv says the agenda will be:

1. Preparations for OAHP Sunset, September 30, 2006
2. Overview of OAHP Production Results to date
3. Review of Proposed Regulations
4. Conclusion, respond to e-mail questions.

The email says the call-in number is 1-866-783-5359, the conference call will be chaired by Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Theodore Toon, and the confirmation number is 48702192. Call time is 3 p.m. Eastern on Monday. They say they'll accept only the first 200 callers. Alas, they will not be distributing prizes, but getting onto this call might turn out to be a prize in itself. The email adds:

Due to the anticipated size of the audience, it will be impracticable to take direct questions during the call. We encourage anyone with specific questions before the meeting to send them to Norman_Dailey@hud.gov or resourcedesk@oahp.net. In addition, during the call we will monitor e-mails to Norman_Dailey@hud.gov and if we get several questions on a topic that we can easily answer, we will respond before the end of the call. Otherwise by April 5, 2006 we will distribute and post answers to non-property specific questions via the OAHP Resource Desk (OAHP.net)
