NAA/NMHC are actively working with a special White House working group to reduce the regulatory burdens associated with existing affordable housing programs.
On July 27, we participated in a stakeholders meeting convened by the White House Domestic Policy Council, where the Obama Administration announced two pilot programs. The first seeks to eliminate redundant and duplicative physical inspections required by various programs, including the Section 8 voucher program. This has been a priority for NAA/NMHC for several years. The second pilot program seeks to standardize and improve subsidy layering reviews.
NAA/NMHC also submitted comments on the proposal, strongly supporting any effort to make the Section 8 program operate more like the private market. Visit
