Information regarding available financing and program <br /> information which can be given to potential lenders. <br /> Since actual preparation of work write-ups and cost estimates <br /> will be the responsibility of the owner, the initial meeting between <br /> the owner and the Rehabilitation Advisor will be extremely important. <br /> The Rehabilitation Advisor will have the opportunity to explain each <br /> required form and to answer the owner's questions in privacy.

The names of qualified contractors , including <br /> minority contractors, who respond to the PHA's advertisement for <br /> contractors, (included in the Notice of Availability of the Program) <br /> and contractors recommended by the HUD Field Office will be added to <br /> the basic list. All contractors who respond to the Notice will be <br /> evaluated and qualified by the Rehabilitation staff, based on its <br />
