The incentive package should incorporate the following options:

•	Align and streamline the current city-mandated inspections with 
	the HUD-mandated Housing Choice Voucher inspections;

•	Waive various permits and inspection costs for apartment 
	owners who accept Housing Choice Vouchers;

•	Create a Damage Mitigation Fund which provides financial 
	assistance to landlords to mitigate damage caused by tenants 
	during their occupancy under the Housing Choice Voucher 
	Program;

•	Provide landlords vacancy payments to hold units while the 
	landlord is going through the Housing Choice Voucher 
	Program approval process.</description><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jan 2019 23:22:33 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
