The Reality

Many Housing Authorities face the same challenges.

Programs drift. Compliance slips. Funding opportunities pass by. Most agencies don't have a people problem — they have a systems and leadership problem.

  • Staff turnover
  • Inexperienced FSS Coordinators
  • Compliance concerns
  • Limited oversight of Resident Services Programs
  • Difficulty preparing for HUD monitoring
  • Missed funding opportunities
  • Lack of strategic planning

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from hiring a full-time Resident Services Director?

You get senior-level strategic leadership, compliance oversight, and technical assistance without the salary, benefits, recruitment costs, or turnover risk of a full-time hire. Most clients save $60,000–$100,000+ annually.

Can you support our existing FSS or ROSS Coordinator?

Yes. Many clients keep their current coordinator and use the Virtual Director as an on-call supervisor, compliance reviewer, and systems architect.

What does the $20,000 annual engagement include?

Monthly leadership meetings, program oversight, compliance monitoring, staff coaching, technical assistance, grant-readiness support, and documented systems — all delivered remotely.

Do you work with nonprofits as well as Housing Authorities?

Yes. The engagement is designed for Public Housing Authorities, nonprofit affordable-housing operators, and resident-services partners managing HUD-funded programs.

How quickly can we get started?

Most engagements begin within 2–3 weeks of the strategy session, depending on your agency's internal approvals and data access.

About

Rhonda Lattimore, JD — Systems Architect for HUD-Funded Programs

With more than 20 years of senior-level management across social services and public housing programs, I translate complex HUD regulatory requirements into practical, sustainable systems that staff can use and leadership can measure.

My work sits at the intersection of program operations, HUD grant compliance, organizational accountability, and funding sustainability. Most organizations don't have a people problem — they have a systems problem. I design the systems that turn compliance into performance.
