GBREB and Massachusetts Apartment Association (MAA) were proud to host the National Apartment Association (Naahq) roadshow with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in Boston. The NAA roadshow brings together housing providers, HUD officials and local public housing authorities to discuss the critical Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. This collaborative roadshow gives HUD direct access to active housing providers and an opportunity to hear, in real time, the operational realities of the HCV program. Local GBREB leaders met with HUD officials and exploring mutually beneficial ways that the program can be revitalized and improved.
