EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I am requesting Board approval to have Edgar Perez, Section 8 Program Manager, attend Housing Choice Voucher Financial Management training, which will be held in St. Louis, Missouri May 9-11, 2017. This training will address important topics such as HUD funding formulas, eligible use for funds provided, and requirements for cash management and investment of program funds.
