Summary
HUD issued a new procurement handbook, so the Housing Authority raised its purchasing thresholds — micro purchases to $15,000, small purchases to $60,000, public works to $250,000, and RFPs at $350,000-plus — while keeping stricter state limits where they apply.

Housing Authority staff and vendors dealing with the agency get clearer, faster purchasing rules.
