About the event
When: Tuesday, August 13, 2024 11:00am–12:15pm P.T./2:00-3:15pm E.T.
In rural communities, the rental housing provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been a critical source of housing for older adults, especially as it is often the only source of stable, safe, and decent housing.Â
As of 2023, more than one-third of USDA's Section 515 program's units were home to older adults.Â
This webinar will provide an overview of USDA's rental housing programs and the applicable laws governing them.Â
Presenters will also discuss common barriers faced by older residents of USDA's largest rental housing program as well as strategies for overcoming them.
In this training, participants will:
- Gain a general understanding of USDA's housing program structure and housing programs that are most utilized by older adults;
- Learn how to identify rental housing that is part of USDA's housing portfolio; and
- Learn how to identify and address common issues faced by older residents of USDA's Section 515 housing.
Presenters:
- Natalie N. Maxwell, National Housing Law Project
- Marcos Segura, National Housing Law Project
Capacity for this session is limited to 3,000 participants, and all participants will have the option of accessing audio through the computer or by phone.
 Closed captioning will be available.Â
