Nan McKay & Associates is currently assisting a large agency in California with its public housing conversion under the Rental Assistance Demonstration program. The first transaction successfully closed last year, and NMA will continue to provide services to oversee the entire relocation project as well as the conversion process for more than 2,500 households.
NMA Inspections is currently managing the residential rental inspection program for a midsized Midwestern city. In the past two years that NMAI has managed the city's rental inspection program, it's moved from reactive to proactive. The city has seen increased program adoption from property owners and an overall improvement of its rental housing stock.

VASH Technical Assistance in Amarillo, Texas
Nan McKay & Associates has been working closely with the Amarillo Housing Authority to help make their Veterans Affairs supportive housing (VASH) program run more effectively and efficiently.
With technical assistance from NMA and the efforts of their collaborative partners, AHA has been able to utilize 100 percent of their VASH vouchers. Because of their success, HUD is looking to allocate more VASH vouchers to them, which means more veterans are receiving their much-needed housing assistance. Congratulations to AHA for the outstanding achievement and invaluable contribution to your community!

As you know, in August of last year HUD exercised its authority to suspend SAFMRs for 23 out of the 24 designated areas that would have gone into effect on October 1, 2017.
