St. Petersburg Housing Authority Hearing Officer Volunteer Opportunity
Friday, April 6, 2018
The St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) operates a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, a rental assistance program for very-low income individuals and families funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. SPHA is in need of volunteer attorneys to act as Hearing Officers on behalf of the Housing Authority regarding the termination of assistance of Section 8 Voucher program participants. Hearing Officers review case records, conduct informal hearings to review information and testimony provided by Section 8 Voucher program participants, and following consideration of the information provided by the program participants, make determinations whether the termination of assistance by the Housing Authority was made in accordance with HUD regulation and SPHA policy, and if the evidence presented during the informal hearing warrants overturning the Housing Authority\u2019s termination decision. Volunteers are needed to assist the Housing Authority for an average of 4 to 6 hours, once every 3 to 4 months. The St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) will conduct a workshop for prospective hearing officers on Tuesday, April 24, 2018, from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. The workshop will be held at the housing authority\u2019s central office, located at 2001 Gandy Blvd. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33702. Space at this interactive workshop is limited, so reservations are recommended. To register, please contact Jasamine Randle at 727-323-3171 ext. 235 or Jrandle@stpeteha.orgCategories: Business Events
