BEST stands for basic education and skills training, a program offered by Metro Technology Centers. Individuals are referred by the Department of Human Services to receive individual employment strategy plans and career training. LaToya Ezell, an OHFA Section 8 client, participates in BEST and takes classes at Metro Technology Centers so she can become a medical office assistant. “I love science so the medical field is what I want to do,” LaToya said. At first, she wanted to become a dental assistant but her BEST counselor advised her that the plates and screws in her arm might make that career field too physically demanding. LaToya agreed and that’s why she is thankful BEST started her on the right path to achieve her career goals. BEST already helped her land an in-ternship at Dean McGee Eye Institute so she can get first-hand experience as a medical office assistant. “I just want to be better in life, be somebody, and be an asset in this world,” LaToya said. OHFA will purge its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program waiting list of more than 13,000 applicants the week of June 2. Applicants who fail to notify OHFA of their continued interest in the program by the deadline specified will be removed from the waiting list. OHFA will send an update request via first class mail to each active family on the waiting list to determine whether the family continues to be interested in and continues to qualify for the pro-gram. The purge will also allow appli-cants to make changes to their record, such as address, phone numbers and family household members. The update request will be sent to the last address that OHFA has on file for the family. The family’s response must be in writ-ing and may be delivered in person, by mail or by fax. Responses must be postmarked or received by OHFA no later than 14 days from the date of OHFA’s letter. • If the family fails to respond within 14 days, the family will be removed from the waiting list without further notice. • If the notice is returned by the post office with no forwarding address, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list without further notice. • If the notice is returned by the post office with a forwarding address, the notice will be re-sent to the ad-dress indicated. The family will have 14 days to respond from the date the letter was re-sent.
