Many of our housing communities have applicants and residents whose primary or sole language isn’t English. This engaging webinar will discuss:

The legal obligations to provide “meaningful access” to our housing programs for applicants and residents who have limited English proficiency.

What is the legal framework for this requirement? Does it matter how a site is funded/financed? We will specifically review guidance the Department of Housing and Urban Development has provided for sites that receive federal dollars, as well as its guidance on obligations under the Federal Fair Housing Act.

The business related reasons to provide meaningful access to people whose primary language isn’t English?
Steps recommended Owners/Agents take to fulfill both their legal obligations and effectively address their business operations needs.

This training is for all site staff that want to understand fair housing laws as related to onsite practices, including those impacted by COVID. The training will provide an overview of fair housing laws and all protected classes, but the focus of the training will be residents with disabilities and topics that relate directly to front line staff including maintenance and custodial staff, including during a pandemic:
How to respond to resident requests for assistance that are outside the scope of your work, snow removal, trash removal, etc.
What questions you can/can’t ask a resident; what information you are allowed to know about residents and what information you aren’t allowed to know.
Assisting residents after work hours, responding to work orders and companion/service animals.
While all housing personnel require training in fair housing laws, it is particularly important for front line office staff, maintenance and custodial staff to be trained because they often have the most contact with residents. The training will be very practical, interactive, and provide significant time for questions and answers.

IMPORTANT Requirement: Please bring a sample tenant file and calculator with you.
Please remember to remove any personal date from the sample tenant file.

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.
Emphasis 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.

The Certified Professional of Occupancy (CPO) course is a comprehensive program offered by the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) for property management staff in affordable developments, including LIHTC. It is the only occupancy course that covers the HUD 4350.3 Handbook in its entirety, with specific handbook references cited in the margins of the course text.
The two and a half day program is composed of occupancy focused instruction. Participants will receive a voucher from their hosting AHMA to take the CPO exam independently on their own at their home office, or property. Students that successfully pass the exam will receive a CPO certificate and lapel pin. All CPOs will be listed in an online national certification directory. The CPO is a requirement for NAHMA’s National Affordable Housing Professional (NAHP®) certification program.
It is recommended that course attendees have a basic knowledge of the HUD 4350.3 Rev – 1 (change 4) Handbook prior to registration.
Please have a calculator, highlighters and post it notes on hand.
