The last CAHA meeting was about
the future of HUD in Ohio. In a cost saving move HUD will be closing
nearly all of the HUD multifamily field offices in the United States.
These are the offices that oversee
private landlords who serve low income families (Lupica, Rainbow
Terrace, Emeritus House). Every resident in the building gets a subsidy
from the federal government. HUD monitors the quality of these
buildings, assures compliance with federal rules and is the government
watchdog to make sure that the buildings maintain occupancy rates. The
Cincinnati office has already closed with Columbus and Cleveland closing
their multifamily offices in 2014. They are moving staff to DETROIT??
and Chicago. Does anyone find it ironic that HUD multifamily staff
will be located in a bankrupt city with a similar number of abandoned
properties as the area around Chernobyl in the Ukraine?
