BR response: Most new developments have some affordable units but developers usually <br /> make payments in lieu to avoid having to put affordable units. <br /> EJ: The only point to make is having public housing in the face of this rental market. Is there any <br /> way to push that limit a little more? Is there money to go forward? <br /> BR: Federal funds are moving away from public housing and toward public-private partnership. PBV <br /> is the best shot we have as of now to move toward public housing,but as a program we will be <br /> pursuing all opportunities for public housing. <br /> EHV: HCV will begin administering 19 EHV vouchers. <br /> VASH: HCV will be meeting with Durham VA to discuss capacity needed.
