Understanding the Master Contract
April 4, 2012
How Webinar Technology Works
Only Cathy and the presenters can be heard; all others are in listen-only mode.
Cathy will send each participant a two-digit code to enter into your conference call. This will give us a chance to activate your audio for questions.
The control panel on your screen gives you a place to click to “raise your hand.” That will signal Cathy that you have a question.
If we don’t get to you during the session, we will follow up with you afterward.
Goals for Today
Go over the elements of the master contract. Review DHN-developed data concerning
master contracts across the state. Hear from two counties about how they
decided important questions about their contracts.

County Plan Template
Purpose to assist county boards and housing corporations to engage in relevant conversation about current and future housing needs; to establish priority use of resources.
County Plans Submitted 2010-2011
Direct and Indirect Supports
Housing corporations receive two primary types of support from county boards:– Direct cash subsidies– Indirect/In-Kind subsidies
These can be alone or in combination.
Size matters!
Smaller Housing Corporations (those that own 15 or fewer properties) are more likely to receive indirect subsidy support.
Medium (16-75 properties) and Large (more than 75 properties) Housing Corporations are more likely to receive vacancy payment support.
