SUMMARY:8 Hour RPP Lead Safety Certification Course-Glastonbury\, CT
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \nThis one day course will consist of the 8 Hour Certification training based on the EPA Lead Safety for Renovation\, Repair and Painting. \nFor individuals seeking new individual Certified Renovator certifications under EPA Renovate\, Repair and Painting (RRP) regulation\, or if their initial certification has been expired for more than one year\,  8-Hour Initial training is required.\nThe traditional renovation work you do now can create significant lead-dust hazards if lead-based paint is present and disturbed.\nThe leaded dust generated by traditional renovation work can cause lead poisoning in children. It can also poison pregnant women\, yourself\, your children\, other workers and even pets. Practical changes in work practices can minimize and contain dust. The use of lead-safe work practices makes the job safer and reduces your liability exposure.\nEPA’s Renovation\, Repair and Painting Final Rule (40 CFR 745) regulations now require that renovations conducted for compensation\, must be performed by Certified Firms using Certified Renovators. Renovation firms that wish to work in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities must apply to EPA and pay a fee in order to become certified. Renovators seeking to become Certified Renovators must successfully complete a EPA-accredited renovator course. This course is the EPA model course for Certified Renovators and has been enhanced and approved to meet all requirements for RRP certification.\nThis course will teach you how to comply with the EPA Renovation\, Repair and Painting Rules and the HUD Lead Safe Housing Rule\, and how to perform lead-safe work practices safely and effectively. \nGary Kellner\, President\nHarvard Environmental Services \nGary has been a MA master-licensed lead inspector for 22 years and for the last 10+ years has been delivering the 8 hour Moderate Risk Deleader and the Lead-Safe Renovator – Supervisor Initial training seminars throughout MA.  ARS has partnered with Gary as their lead instructor for employee and customer training.g.

What is the SHCM Certification? \nA. The Specialist in Housing Credit Management (SHCM) Certification has been developed by the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) in partnership with The National Apartment Association (NAA) and the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) especially for management professionals involved with properties developed and operated under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The SCHM is designed by management professionals for management professionals to ensure that they have attained the knowledge\, experience and competence required to excel in the housing credit property management industry. \nQ. Why do we need the SHCM Certification? \nA. To maximize their career\, managers in the affordable housing industry must be able to demonstrate their experience and expertise in mastering the complex requirements for the LIHTC program to their peers\, employers\, residents\, regulators and the general public. Earning your SHCM enables you to do just that. \nQ. How do I earn the SHCM Certification? \nA. To earn a SHCM\, candidates must successfully accumulate a minimum of 12 hours (actual instruction time) of housing credit specific coursework or training\, successfully pass the SHCM exam\, demonstrate a minimum of two years of housing credit management employment experience and submit the application. \nQ. Where can I get the SHCM Application? \nA. The application is available on- line at the following website:\nhttp://www.nahma.org/wp-content/uploads/files/SHCM%20Brochure%208%2005.pdf \nQ. Why is there a separate examination fee from the course tuition and registration? \nA. There are many approved providers of LIHTC Training. So that housing credit professionals who have achieved the required prerequisite training can take the optional SHCM certification exam\, it was decided that the test would be covered by a separate fee from the training curriculum. \nQ.

SUMMARY:NEAHMA MA Quarterly Meeting-
DESCRIPTION:How the Substance Abuse\, Opioid & Heroin Addiction Epidemic affect our Housing Communities \nREGISTER HERE\nPresenter: Frank Flynn\, Flynn Law Group \nThis new interactive and informative training will review current and emerging trends in addiction. For example\, public health data reveals that opioid overdose occurs in all communities across the state – rural\, urban\, rich\, poor and among all age groups and ethnicity. The increasing availability of prescription opioid painkillers contributes dramatically to the problem\, both by causing addiction and by offering easy access\, with consumers able to obtain drugs from friends\, family members\, or medical providers. This presentation will also provide information about other drugs including designer drugs like Molly etc.\, as well as the identification of paraphernalia for drugs of abuse. Join us as we review recent developments\, examine the complicated effects in housing settings and gain an understanding of what we can and should do about it.

The course will cover; Program Regulations\, Unit Eligibility and Certification\, Recertification\, Documentation & Recordkeeping as well as Monitoring and Reporting Compliance. During the course of this program you will find that all of the testable subject areas found on the NAHMA\, Specialist in Housing Credit Management (SHCM) Certification examination will be covered. We will offer the SHCM exam (optional) the afternoon of day two. \nIf you have less than one years’ experience\, below are some suggested precursor tax credit trainings that NEAHMA offers that will better prepare you for this training. \n• Basic Tax Credit – Designed for beginner level tax credit managers and will provide participants with an overview of the Tax Credit Program.\n• LIHTC File Audit – The course will begin with an overview of the timing of a monitoring agency’s tax credit file audit\, the information they will be looking to confirm in the files\, the information monitors will request prior to the audit.\n• Calculating Income –\nThis is an important workshop for anyone who manages a tax credit site or who is responsible for the calculation of gross income at move-in or recertification at a tax credit site. \nFrequently Asked Questions about the SHCM™ Certification\nQ. What is the SHCM Certification? \nA. The Specialist in Housing Credit Management (SHCM) Certification has been developed by the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) in partnership with The National Apartment Association (NAA) and the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) especially for management professionals involved with properties developed and operated under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The SCHM is designed by management professionals for management professionals to ensure that they have attained the knowledge\, experience and competence required to excel in the housing credit property management industry. \nQ. Why do we need the SHCM Certification? \nA. To maximize their career\, managers in the affordable housing industry must be able to demonstrate their experience and expertise in mastering the complex requirements for the LIHTC program to their peers\, employers\, residents\, regulators and the general public. Earning your SHCM enables you to do just that. \nQ. How do I earn the SHCM Certification? \nA. To earn a SHCM\, candidates must successfully accumulate a minimum of 12 hours (actual instruction time) of housing credit specific coursework or training\, successfully pass the SHCM exam\, demonstrate a minimum of two years of housing credit management employment experience and submit the application. \nQ. Where can I get the SHCM Application? \nA. The application is available on- line at the following website:\nhttp://www.nahma.org/wp-content/uploads/files/SHCM%20Brochure%208%2005.pdf \nQ. Why is there a separate examination fee from the course tuition and registration? \nA. There are many approved providers of LIHTC Training. So that housing credit professionals who have achieved the required prerequisite training can take the optional SHCM certification exam\, it was decided that the test would be covered by a separate fee from the training curriculum. \n\n \n
