2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTThe first hour covers how to prove federal coverage when the owner won’t say, which notice layer controls across the CARES Act, HUD’s 2024 rule and its pending revocation, USDA’s 2026 rescission, the voucher tenancy addendum, and state law, and how to plead the defect in the state’s framing. In California that means demurrer or motion to quash, preserving the defense in the answer, and proving it at trial. The session is taught by a tenant-side housing attorney who has litigated Section 8 voucher evictions through trial, including the overstated-notice and waiver theories that decide most of them, and who has weighed a dismissal against a resolution that keeps the subsidy intact.
Zak Fisher 3:40 pm - 4:40 pm ESTA one-hour, tenant-side session for subsidized-housing defense counsel on keeping a voucher alive when the eviction and the PHA termination run together. The hour covers the mandatory termination trigger in 24 CFR 982.552(b)(2) and how administrative plans rewrite it, hearing rights and timing under 982.555, HAP payments during the eviction, insufficient-funding terminations under 982.454 and Notice PIH 202528, and settlement wording that keeps the family off the mandatory-termination track. The hour is taught from the eviction defense side: what unlawful detainer counsel must do in the first week to protect the hearing right, how the court case and the hearing feed each other, when to push the hearing ahead of the trial, and the settlement language that keeps a family off the mandatory-termination track. The informalhearing segment is built on the regulations and administrative-plan provisions attendees will actually have to read, and would pair well with a co-presenter who regularly appears at PHA hearings.
