Financial officers at all levels of your PHA’s HCV program will appreciate the HCV Financial Management and Reporting Master Book as an easy-to-follow reference guide for successful financial management and reporting.

The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program has changed significantly since it was first implemented by HUD. Although in this program PHAs are no longer responsible for providing property management and maintenance services, it doesn’t mean this program is easier to manage. In the HCV program, PHAs play a dual role: they have to assist families in the program, while overseeing that families comply with program rules. Click here to view the table of contents.
