Standards for Success is the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) data collection and reporting framework for measuring HUD Participants' self-sufficiency and ability to obtain and maintain housing. It is the approach used by discretionary grant programs to report their work. The Standards for Success framework focuses on eighteen (18) indicators aligned to measure Participants' self-sufficiency and quality of life.

Following is the text of the message HUD sent out on February 15:

HUD is working to expedite availability of at least some funding to Service Coordinator grantees who have not been paid since December (and some much longer).  And LeadingAge is continuing to advocate for prioritized attention to the program in post-shutdown weeks, and its inclusion as an excepted activity in revisions to any future HUD shutdown contingency plan.

As the partial Federal government shutdown extends into its 4th week with uncertainty over when normal HUD operations will resume, an estimated 1175 project-based rental assistance (PBRA) contracts with December 2018 and January 2019 expiration dates will not be able to be renewed until after the shutdown, with Section 202/811 PRAC projects comprising the majority of impacted contracts.  While some funding may be available to help the Section 8 and 811 properties for at least through January, already 440 Section 202 PRAC contracts

“Let’s talk about it” has been LeadingAge’s primary message to consumers, policy makers, and members during June 2018. We’ve asked millennials to “Carry the Conversation” by becoming the voice of long-term services and supports (LTSS). We’ve been talking with policy makers about a variety of issues that matter to older Americans. And we’ve provided resources that member organizations can use to frame their internal conversations about important decisions.

The 97 page booklet, available on HUD Exchange here, is the culmination of many years of work by industry professionals who came together with HUD to write this practical "how-to" manual focused on the preservation of HUD 202, 236 and Section 8 properties. It also captures much of the material used for the HUD Preservation Clinics held throughout the country in 2015 and 2016.


HUD has posted a 60-day Federal Register notice, seeking public comments on proposed revisions to four VAWA forms issued with the VAWA final rule (the revised lease addendum is not part of the publication). Comments on the proposed changes are due October 2 and may be submitted online by the deadline (or to LeadingAge at least one week in advance). These forms are published for comment only. The forms are not final and should not be used at this time.
