Lydia La Motta of Nest shares Housing Voucher Updates for DC
Tim and Lisa are talking with Lydia La Motta, the Director of Engagement for Flock DC. She's sharing details on the recent policy changes around the Housing Voucher Program. These changes impact landlords and investors because the amount of rent that can be asked of the units for Housing Voucher recipients has been decreased, in some cases, significantly. It also puts the housing voucher recipients at an unfortunate disadvantage, as landlords have less incentive to jump through all the hoops to get their properties qualified for the program.Connect with Lydia/Flock/Nest DC:https://www.nest-dc.com/https://flock-dc.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/delamottaConnect with us:Schedule a call with TimSchedule a call with LisaSchedule a call with JeanLearn more at thereiconcierge.comConnect with us:Schedule a call with TimSchedule a call with LisaSchedule a call with JeanLearn more at thereiconcierge.com
