Why This Training Matters

Do you understand all the renewal options available under HUD’s Section 8 Renewal Policy? Are you considering the Mark-Up-to-Market (MUTM) option? Will you need a Rent Comparability Study this year? And how will future rent adjustments be calculated—through Operating Cost Adjustment Factor (OCAF) or budget-based rent adjustment (BBRI)?

This 90-minute webcast is designed to answer these critical questions and provide practical strategies for maximizing your portfolio’s PBS8 contracts. Mark will break down the key sections of HUD’s Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide and provide real-world insights to help you navigate the complexities of PBS8 renewals
