March 12, 2020

Dear NAHMA Members –

Today, HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing published Coronavirus-related Questions & Answers (attached) for stakeholders, including Owners and Management agents. We have added the Q&As and the following guidance to NAHMA’s Coronavirus Information and Resources website:

HUD Webinar on Infectious Disease Preparedness for Homeless Assistance Providers and Their Partners
U.S. Department of Labor on Preparing Workplaces for Coronavirus
CDC Guide for Community Mitigation Strategies.

In addition to the updates, NAHMA has also contacted the leadership at the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) and the Office of Multifamily Housing to request a suspension of physical inspections in areas hit hard by the virus. Once we hear back from HUD leadership, we will update members on their decision.
