Statewide Video Thu Sep 12th – Thu Sep 19th, 12 am – 11:59 pm: Section 8 Video Training Series
.
This video series will give attendees a comprehensive overview of the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8). We will cover:
- What to say when an applicant asks, "Do you take Section 8?"
- Why and to what extent Massachusetts landlords must participate.
- How to deal with inspections.
- How to screen a Section 8 applicant.
- Why your insurance can't stop you renting to Section 8.
- and more!
Permanent rental subsidies like the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) can be great programs to participate in. But they can be tough
on the unprepared landlord: your first Section 8 applicant may expose weaknesses in your non-discriminatory tenant screening process, sanitary code compliance, or other aspects of your business!
Members will leave knowing the program, confident in working with Section 8 applicants, and ready to navigate the process with flying colors.
Let's try something new!
- PowerPoint zooms will be recorded this season.
- Recordings will let more members participate.
- Ask a question right below the video.
- Seven days later, we will answer questions.
- Videos will remain up until stale! (But the opportunity to ask questions will close after seven days.)
- In-person and live zooms are being announced separately. Check MassLandlords.net/events for all options.
Part of this presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
