Tampa HA reps did a great job guiding us on a tour of two very impressive properties. Kudos to the leadership and staff @ the Tampa HA for your great work in the community.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

We’d like to thank Jerome Ryans and the @tampahaorg Team for hosting our 2026 Commissioners’ Conference last week. They went above and beyond to welcome our attendees to Tampa, to share their expertise, and to inspire attendees on a tour of their new developments. #phadaCC26

Always great to be with the dedicated housing professionals in my original home state. The government shutdown is causing concern and confusion, but NYers are persevering on behalf of their communities, residents.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA ED @TKaiserPHADA, with NYSPHADA Pres Bill Simmons, addressed NY housing professionals in Cooperstown yesterday. Among other topics, he discussed the gov. shutdown, changes in @HUDgov funding rules, and other hot topics.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

Enjoyed a brief but eventful visit to Alabama. Covered a lot - Status of FY 26 appropriations, HUD's ill advised "cash management" guidance, needed deregulation for well run agencies and other issues.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA's Tim Kaiser with Alyshia Cook, Mark Thiele, and Seth Embry at the Alabama Assoc meeting this week. Kaiser presented a Washington update before a packed room.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

The rules are also costly, burdensome and will hamper HAs' resident services. Moreover, they will thwart innovation & penalize entrepreneurial agencies.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

HUD's new Op Fund guidance will jeopardize fiscal solvency of many HAs and threaten their resident services. The new rules should be reconsidered as they appear to conflict with existing regs and laws. Read PHADA's President's Forum: https://t.co/s8tChSQZAO #HUDFunding

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

We covered a lot of ground: HUD's proposed budget for FY '26, pending regs, coming regs on "mixed status" households, new interest income requirements, MTW legislation and more. Thanks for the invite, Housing Dev. Law Institute.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

Along with @NAHROnational & @CLPHA reps, PHADA's Tim Kaiser discussed the congressional budget reconciliation process, deregulation, and other issues yesterday at HDLI's DC meeting.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

Lots of good questions and much interest expressed by attendees about the need for adequate funding, deregulation, local flexibility. Thanks for the invitation, New Jersey.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA's @MWebbPHADA, @CWojPHADA, and @TKaiserPHADA participated in a panel discussion at NJNAHRO's Annual Conf. Topics included HUD budget, NSPIRE, HOTMA, MTW, and others.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

The voucher program is already in turmoil. Many HAs fear more owners will leave the program bc of increased costs and reg burdens. This would lead to fewer housing choices for low-income families. @HUDgov should extend the compliance date.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA appreciates @CLPHA, @NAHROnational, and @MovingtoWork joined its efforts to request @HUDgov delay of mandatory compliance with NSPIRE in the HCV program until at least October 1, 2026, to protect low-income families and the program from potential serious adverse impacts.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

I heard and learned a lot from VA housing professionals, who are understandably concerned about all the uncertainty in Washington right now. Took that info back to DC and PHADA will keep pressing its policy priorities on Capitol Hill and @ HUD.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA's @TKaiserPHADA reporting on Hot Topics in DC at VAHCDO's Spring Conf. Key topics incl. apprns, PHADA's policy priorities, and opps for deregulation within current Admin. Thanks to John Bohm for moderating & VAHCDO for the opportunity to connect with our colleagues in VA!

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

Was great to see & honor Greg, together here with our friend Sharon Wilson Geno. Other longtime colleagues incl Sue Cohen, Steve Norman, Rod Solomon, Joe Shuldiner, and many others showed their admiration for the guest of honor.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

Dozens gathered in NYC Saturday to celebrate former PHADA Pres. Greg Russ’s 50-year career in housing. In attendance were former NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio, and other family, friends and colleagues. PHADA, represented by Tim Kaiser, congratulated Greg on the auspicious occasion.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

Our letter to Congress points out that many of those served are trying to move towards self-sufficiency & economic independence. Budget and staff cuts would jeopardize those worthy objectives. https://t.co/6YNthSczZi

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

This @NBCNews report highlights the critical import of federal housing assistance. Millions of seniors, veterans, and low-income families rely on @HUDgov programs. https://t.co/pv2fes7GKv

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

A very nice event. @ActSecTodman has been a valued leader, and exemplified the best in public service over the last 4 years. Thank you, Madame Secretary. @PHADA_USA looks forward to cont'd collaboration as you return to the private sector.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA’s ED Tim Kaiser with outgoing @ActSecTodman & Denise Muha at @HUDgov celebration event last evening. The Association appreciates the outgoing Sec’s leadership over the last 4 years.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

New FY is less than 1 month away. Many housing agencies facing funding shortfalls, skyrocketing insurance costs, and large volume of unpaid rents. Congress should pass HUD appropriations on time with adequate $. https://t.co/ZqesFd1qxj

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

House probably can’t move its flawed HUD spending bill, which @PHADA_USA opposes bc of major cuts in housing programs. Congress should increase $ and adopt bill before new FY on October 1.https://t.co/y29KfnhjX9

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

A great fundraising day despite my foursome's "subpar" performance on the golf course. The Bollinger Foundation was founded in '89 and has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to date.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA ED Tim Kaiser in last Friday’s Bollinger Open, which raises $ for children of deceased parents who worked in housing and community development. Kaiser is on the Board and PHADA is a proud sponsor. If you want to donate, please visit: https://t.co/ayiMmfYb05

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

Yes, agree Eric. Great input & feedback on "DC Hot Topics" from MARC housing professionals.

[National NAHRO @NAHROnational]

NAHRO's Eric Oberdorfer and other staff are thrilled to be at NJ & @MARCNAHRO1's conference with PHADA's Tim Kaiser, Housing Authority of Gloucester County's Kim Gober, Bayonne Housing Authority's John Mahon and many other #housers and community builders!

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

Dept should reverse its 30 day notice rule. Misguided @HUDgov policy exacerbates rent collection problems and may create more insolvent housing agencies, ultimately hurting low income residents.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

HUD data shows 20% of housing agencies are “severely impacted” by the inability to collect rents through no fault of their own. Fearing more insolvent HAs, PHADA has urged @HUDgov to ask Congress for more funding and reverse HUD rule that worsens the problem.

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

By its own admission, the @HUDgov proposal would push more housing agencies closer to fiscal insolvency, resulting in "increased shortfall need" that Congress would then need to address. PHADA's message on the Hill is simple: Reject this misguided scheme.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

PHADA has also been raising its strong objections on the Hill to HUD’s ill-advised plans to effectively recapture needed agency reserves. https://t.co/6qC82TlN3t

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

The @HUDgov proposal on op reserves will worsen housing agency finances, imperiling residents. Dept sets terrible precedent, penalizing well run HAs for their fiscal prudence. Congress should reject the HUD scheme.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

Today, PHADA and other housing industry groups write to House and Senate appropriations committees outlining our concerns with President Biden’s budget request. Read the letter here: https://t.co/6qC82TlN3t

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

@HUDgov acknowledges its own proposed budget may create more fiscally insolvent housing agencies, which will jeopardize services to residents. Congress needs to reject its misguided op reserves scheme.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

President Mark Gillett points out two unfair, unworkable provisions in @HUDgov’s FY 25 budget, which PHADA believes would rob Peter to pay Paul. https://t.co/5aAHrxZl7h

[Tim Kaiser @TKaiserPHADA]

BABA, which applies to a vast number of federal $ recipients, is well-intentioned, but will be difficult for housing agencies and others to maneuver. @HUDgov has been flexible so far and needs to provide more waivers to make the rule workable.

[PHADA @PHADA_USA]

The new PHADA brief on BABA outlines requirements, available waivers, and timeline in 2 pages. It also provides details for how HAs can best prepare. More info will be covered at PHADA’s Annual Convention in New Orleans, June 2–5. Download the PDF here: https://t.co/GBMT7mBPtU
