FYI…Upcoming community events

FYI…AHA is one of the agencies that didn’t receive HAP (Section 8 assistance). Hopefully the funds will be sent tomorrow so we can pay our landlords.

Earlier today, many housing agencies across the country did not receive Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) for the month of June. Recently HUD sent an email to housing agency executive directors stating that housing agencies would receive the HAP in their accounts tomorrow (June 2, 2026). The Department noted that it “. . . has been working closely with the U.S. Treasury to address the issue.”
