SUMMARY:System Water Quality-Randolph\, MA
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTrainer: Bruce Marshall\, Emerson Swan \nWater is the lifeblood of a hydronic system. There are unseen forces of nature at work inside the system that have been going on as long as we have been installing system but they have not been a major problem until now. When we remove the old cast iron boiler and replace it with a low mass condensing boiler\, the chemistry experiment that has been going on inside the system can have an adverse effect on not only the efficiency of the boiler but the life expectancy as well. In this proactive hands-on seminar\, you will learn the effect of galvanic corrosion on the system components and what you can do about it. We will see actual samples of system water and how dissimilar metals react. We will also learn how we can test the water to find out exactly what the conditions are so we can treat them. \nLevel: Beginner

SUMMARY:Tax Credit Training & SHCM Exam
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \n\nhis is an excellent opportunity for you to receive comprehensive Tax Credit training coupled with an opportunity to take the industry’s newest credential exam. \nPresenter:\nDebbie Piltch\, Piltch Associates \nCourse Overview: \nOne and a half days of training (totaling 12 hours of training) highlighting the major areas of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. 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

SUMMARY:LIHTC File Audit-N.Providence\, RI
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTrainer: Debbie Piltch\, Piltch Associates\nIMPORTANT Requirement: Please bring a sample tenant file and calculator with you.\nPlease remember to remove any personal date from the sample tenant file. \nThe 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. We will also discuss how to review standard documents contained in a file to make sure there are no errors\, how to correct non-compliance and the type of information the monitor will request of the site prior to coming and/or on the day of the site visit. We will then review a mock file to go over the types of errors a monitor may find in a file and provide participants an opportunity to self-monitor the file(s) they bring. Please make sure that the sample file you bring has no confidential information (i\,e\, social security numbers\, bank numbers….) pertaining to the household.\nEmphasis will be placed on issues that monitoring agencies often focus on\, including incomplete applications\, recertification updates\, inadequate child support documentation\, inaccurate income calculations\, inconsistencies within a verification\, failure to maximize anticipated income\, late verifications and TICs signed after leases.

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.
