HAP Board Packages Updated Through September.

I have added the Housing Authority of Portland Board of Director meeting package for September to my single PDF file of year-to-date 2008 HAP Board meeting packages.

The most recent 2008 year to date compilation is always be available in the right pane LINKS section of the blog, look for "HAP YTD Board Packages"

The 2007 year to date Housing Authority of Portland Board [HAP] package has been updated with the Board Pack for their September 18th Board meeting.

Year to Date HAP 2007 Board Agendas and Minutes Combined into one Single Searchable Document; Innovative HAP Dashboard Report Also Noted

The Housing Authority of Portland (HAP) probably does the best job in Oregon of any HUD grantee of posting for download their individual monthly Board meeting agendas and minutes on their web site HERE. (HAP also posts a regular monthly “Dashboard” of key metrics that is a unique and innovative snapshot of Housing Authority operations. The current dashboard on their website can be found HERE).

HAP is HUD’s largest grantee in Oregon. Kudos to the staff and Board at HAP for their leadership in making Board information readily available in advance of Board meetings and for their continuing improvements in improving the scope and quality of information made available to the public.

To build on HAP’s good work on monthly board reports:
1. I have downloaded the individual monthly year to date Board packets and combined them into a single document HERE. The current PDF file, covering meetings from Jan-July of 2007, is a 4.6 MB download with 497 pages, and may require free Acrobat Reader 7 to view.

2. Within the PDF file I have added a bookmark panel to the left so that you can continue to navigate directly to board packets for an individual month.

3. With this new combined 2007 HAP Board Meetings PDF file, it is possible to do ONE search by keyword within the file and see the results from ALL of the HAP agendas and minutes for 2007. (So for example, one now can find all 88 references to the keyword “New Columbia” from all meetings from Jan-July 2007).

(Note: The combined Board packet link http://www.housepdx.com/pdfs/housing/07hapytdboardpackets.pdf from above will be a permanent link to the most recent combined HAP Board 07 package that I have prepared. You may want to add this URL to your browser “favorites” or “bookmarks” so that you can get easily to the latest combined HAP board packets in the future.)

From HAP's website it appears that their next Board meeting will be in September, so look for the next update of this combined PDF file in mid September.
