-Client Testimonial
Challenge: HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing needed assistance in evaluating and updating its policies and procedures related to Rent Comparability Studies (RCSs) and Budget Based Rent Increase (BBRIs), both of which comprise of an integral part of HUD’s decision to renew Section 8 rental assistance contracts. HUD also needed assistance in designing and delivering a training program to various stakeholders involved in the RCS and BBRI process.
