As CMHA begins to enter the application phase of RAD projects, the Development Team has been working to ensure that all residents are informed of the process and what to expect in the upcoming weeks and months. RAD Resident meetings are being held at Marquette Manor of English Woods, which is expected to receive RAD Conversion Commitment (RCC) in the upcoming weeks. RCC is issued after HUD reviews and approves the Financing Plan submitted by the Housing Authority. Receiving this commitment means that HUD has approved the Housing Authority’s RAD plans and that the property can prepare to complete the conversion process.
The Beechwood, located in Avondale, is another property that is expected to receive RCC very soon. Resident meetings are also being held at City West, Millvale, The Redding, The President, Winton Terrace, and Findlater Gardens in preparation for RAD.
While these projects are further away, CMHA Development Team has put more emphasis into ensuring residents are kept up-to-date throughout the entire process. Residents are receiving RAD Resident Rights packets, along with Section 3 Program information for their review. Communications is developing updates for residents who may not have been able to attend the meetings, ensuring ALL residents are informed.
