News of Note:

1. Operating Fund Proration - January through February Obligations - CY2013.

Please click here for a letter to PHA Executive Directors from HUD Assistant

Secretary Sandra B. Henriquez explaining the 92% interim proration level that will be

used for the Operating Fund program for the first two months of 2013 (compared to the

80 percent proration that would result from using the Continuing Resolution funding

levels). Once all CY2013 operating subsidy eligibility forms have been finalized, the

final proration may either increase or decrease compared with the interim proration

level. Please also see the CY2013 Subsidy Processing Website for further

information.

2012, HUD selected the following four PHAs for participation in the MTW demonstration

Redevelopment and Housing Authority (Virginia); the Holyoke Housing Authority
