On Thursday, July 24, at 2 p.m. ET, the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) will host a webinar designed to educate nonprofit organizations on how they can effectively educate voters and candidates on housing issues for the upcoming midterm elections. During the webinar, "Educating Voters on Housing Issues," speakers will discuss housing as an election issue, the law and general guidelines for remaining nonpartisan as a 501(c)(3), and provide an overview of events and materials that can be used to educate voters and candidates

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is among the various agencies that appear in a progress report released earlier this month that provides a summary of the 40 major actions President Obama has taken so far this year. The report touches on the Administration's commitment to end veteran homelessness, funding for HUD affordable rental housing projects, low-cost financing to state and local housing finance agencies, and more.

The Alliance is currently seeking qualified applicants for several open positions on the Alliance staff. For qualifications and information on how to apply, see the job opportunities page of the Alliance website. Positions include:

SIGN-UP: MSHDW Workgroup Meetings
Good morning! After much discussion amongst CoC's, we are relaunching our monthly workgroup meetings. I know we are all very busy at the moment, but please take a minute to sign-up via the link below by 8/1/14. The purpose of these monthly meetings is to collaboratively tackle the numerous program changes we are all currently experiencing.
MEETING TYPE: MSHDW Workgroup Meetings (formerly MD HMIS Admin Meetings). Name was changed because this is not solely for HMIS Admins. Everyone is encouraged to join (rookies, too). Please do not be afraid to speak-up or share; we all have numerous questions/concerns. We do not judge. Our goal is to efficiently navigate through these tumultuous transitions together.
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS: None. Participation is 100% voluntary. Many of us will not be able to attend every monthly meeting, and some of us will only be able to attend a few. We encourage any participation.
HMIS REQUIREMENTS: None. This is NOT a techie meeting. As we did in the past, we'll discuss topics pertaining to all us, and save HMIS techie topics for the end of each meeting.
ADDITIONAL WORKLOAD / TRAVEL: None. You may simply join the meetings via conference call or Webinar. Jason Burns will coordinate setup, scheduling, agendas, minutes, etc.
SIGN-UP: Please click here to sign-up (complete the form on the right titled, "MSHDW Workgroup Setup"). It will only take a minute of your time.
[MARHMIS] RE: Length of stay in performance measurement
Emma,
Under housing stability, we measure length of stay “% participants retaining PH for 6 mos. or more” pulled from question 27 from the APR. Also measure “% participants who remained in project as of end of operating year or exited to PH during the operating year” Q 29 from APR.

Subject: [MARHMIS] Length of stay in performance measurement
Hello,
Is anyone currently using length of stay as a performance measurement for shelters? If so, what is the specific measurement you’re using- average or median, by exit status, by exit destination, etc?
Thank you,
Emma
