Minutes note: Director McCarthy stated he liked how the reports have developed and that they have become very meaningful. Since the reports are distributed to the Board prior to the Board Meeting, he asked, and Director Zepecki agreed, to shift the presentation to an overview of the report information and to concentrate on Director’s questions versus a reading through of the full report, starting with the current meeting and moving forward.

Ken Barbeau, HACM’s Chief Operating Officer – Program Services, summarized the Voucher Utilization Update included with the agenda. He explained that the Section 8 Program has partnered with the Public Housing Program to purge the waitlists, which helps to bring new people into the units.
