Y2K survival: making the transition to the new millennium.
Local housing authorities (LHAs) and community development agencies seem to have survived the transition to the year 2000 without falling victim to feared computer crashes or electronic breakdown. In fact, the ongoing progress that LHAs are making in using computer systems appears to have ensured t...

In fact, the ongoing progress that LHAs are making in using computer systems appears to have ensured the survival of agencies and eased the transition into the new millennium. A recent survey of technology in local agencies undertaken by the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials reveals that about 99 percent of LHAs use computers daily in some aspect of their work. The level of competence and confidence in computer systems indicated by housing and community development agencies in the survey represents a significant change in the industry. LHAs were slow to adjust to new technology, and in 1999, these agencies feared the possibility of a Y2K crash. Despite such concerns, however, the majority of local agencies completed their Y2K performance preparations during the first half of 1999. The likelihood of an even greater reliance on computer technology in the future among LHAs is noted. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
