Update 2: Daily Astorian Adds Editorial on NW Oregon Voucher Overleasing.

Update 2:

In addition to the three recent news stories, the Daily Astorian has added a July 27th editorial HERE.

New July 24th story is HERE.

From July 23rd Daily Astorian, HERE and HERE.

My view, as stated in the story:
Tom Cusack, a retired Portland field office director for HUD who now publishes Oregon Housing Blog, said projecting costs and managing voucher levels is "Housing Authority Director 101."

He pointed out that in exchange for managing the local voucher program, NOHA collects administrative fees from HUD that add up to at least $500,000 a year.

"I don't think it's terribly unreasonable to expect a half-million dollars to buy some budget expertise," Cusack said
