Multifamily Housing Partners,

On August 12, 2021, Rural Development Multifamily Housing leadership held a meeting providing a quarterly update to our external partners.  The update included information about Emergency Housing Vouchers, American Rescue Plan, Letter of Priority Entitlement (LOPE), upcoming Farm Labor Housing Workshops, and lots of other pertinent information and updates.  These meetings will continue to be held on a regular basis, with our next partnership meeting tentatively scheduled for October 6, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  A link to that meeting will be sent out via GovDelivery once we get closer to the date.  Interested parties are encouraged to join a mailing list to receive future updates via GovDelivery from Rural Development Multifamily Housing.
