From the Desk of Shawn Steen, NTHDC State Program Director

2010 is quickly coming to a close and hopefully everyone is preparing to spend time with family and friends over the holidays. This is a good opportunity to relax and reflect on the past year. It is also the time we begin to look forward to the upcoming year and set goals for ourselves. NTHDC is no different and has a few “New Year’s resolutions” for 2011.

Remain the PBCA for Florida

HUD is working on moving the PBCA re-bid initiative forward in early 2011. NTHDC is thankful for the great relationships we have developed with Owners, Agents, HUD staff and industry groups over the past six years. We are very optimistic that we will be selected by HUD to continue to serve as the PBCA for the state of Florida.

Enhance the NTHDC Training Program

The NTHDC Training Department is looking to introduce some low cost web-based training opportunities in 2011. We will be able to provide timely training sessions following changes to HUD guidance and regulations. This will also reduce the costs for NTHDC and our industry partners to help everyone stay within budget and to stay current with HUD policies

Lose 10 pounds

No list of resolutions is complete without a goal of losing those extra holiday pounds after enjoying too many good meals and sweets. The entire NTHDC team wishes you and yours a very happy holiday season!

We also want to wish a very fond farewell to Jim Branson, Jacksonville HUB

Director, and Diane Toney, HUD Jacksonville – Director of Operations, who are both retiring at the end of the year. They will both be greatly missed.
