SUMMARY:Death of Tenant NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \nPresenter: Frank Flynn\, Flynn Law Group \nThe purpose of this seminar is to illustrate the difficult aspects associated with the death of a tenant. When a resident passes away the role of a Resident Service Coordinator and Property Manager can become confusing and even complicated. Though it is tempting to help a grieving family in any way possible\, the way you handle such a situation may expose the landlord to issues of liability that you may not have anticipated; it is important to be aware of the legal implications for the property\, Management Company or owner. During this seminar we will review the requirements of the probate system\, estate laws\, HUD regulations\, different routes to recover possession of the unit\, as well as risk management.

SUMMARY:Communicating Effectively NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \nPresenter- Gwen Volk\, In Focus \nCommunication is a skill and an art – especially when it comes to having to communicate complicated issues (“My EIV report said what?”)\, lease violations (“What do you mean I can’t hang a deer in my apartment?”)\, safety concerns (“Why can’t I use my blow dryer to defrost my refrigerator? That’s how my mom taught me.”)\, and delicate situations (“My boyfriend does not live here – he just visits every night.”) to the resident of an affordable housing property. With tips on how to show empathy\, keep your cool\, stick to the facts\, and listen\, participants will learn how to come out an ally instead of an adversary to those residents that have a “banana” in their ear.

SUMMARY:Are You Ready for RAD? Webinar- 10:00 AM
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \nPresenter: Gwen Volk\, GWEN VOLK INFOCUS\, INC.\nHUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program\, created in 2012\, is having an impact on public housing and HUD’s Rent Supplement\, RAP and Mod Rehab projects. This voluntary “preservation” program is helping to stop the loss of affordable housing. It is also providing new opportunities for experienced affordable housing developers\, managers and agents from the private sector to partner with PHA’s. As of October 2015\, HUD had closed RAD transactions on 189 public housing properties as well as 131 Rent Supplement\, RAP\, and Mod Rehab projects. This transaction converted more than 34\,000 units to a Section 8-style platform. And HUD has to convert another 160\,000 PHA units and all remaining Rent Supplement\, RAP and Mod Rehab units. Learn what RAD is\, how it changes the properties that convert\, and how your skills may be needed in this ambitious\neffort to leverage private capital to preserve assets and offer residents greater choice and mobility.

SUMMARY:Repayment Agreement NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTrainer: Nicki Scott \nOur course on Repayment Agreements is designed to help Owners and Agents better understand the Department of Housing and Urban Developments\, or HUDs\, objective of reducing administrative and subsidy payment errors in order to assure that the right benefits go to the right persons. HUD has provided tools and guidance to Owners with the expectation of reducing assistance payment errors\, mismanagement and/or fraud. Throughout this course\, we will review the requirements detailed in Chapters 8 and 9 of the Handbook\, which address the actions that Owners must\, should and may take upon discovering a discrepancy and/or possible error that affects a tenants rent and/or eligibility. Next\, HUD has very specific requirements regarding tenant and/or Owner repayment agreements. We will detail these requirements as well as provide guidance on successfully negotiating and entering into a repayment agreement with a tenant. Additionally\, HUD recognizes the financial and administrative burden of investigating and documenting discrepancies and/or possible errors. We will review the guidance in the Handbook stating that Owners may retain a portion of the repayments they collect from tenants to defray the cost of pursuing these cases. Finally\, throughout this course we will use a case study to highlight HUDs requirement of investigating and documenting discrepancies and/or possible errors and entering into repayment agreements with tenants in order to reimburse HUD for improper subsidy payments. \n

SUMMARY:Double Subsidy NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \nPresenter: Nicki Scott \nA Double Subsidy case arises when a Contract Administrator or TRACS receives a Move In or Initial Certification for a household that is active in another unit (either within the same or a different project).

Finally\, we will highlight best practice recommendations for avoiding Double Subsidy issues when processing applicants for Move In.

SUMMARY:Service Programs on a Shoestring NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPresenter- Gwen Volk\, In Focus \nNot everyone is lucky enough to have professional service coordinator on staff. Nor can all properties afford to hire an outside service contractor to coordinate their activities. Tax credit properties and bond properties generally come with a requirement for programs to enrich the quality of life of residents but generally do not have budgets that provide much to invest in such things. Take it from someone whose properties won two national awards- largely for their outstanding service programs  without benefit of large budgets or professional service coordination: You too can do quality programs on a shoestring.

SUMMARY:Repayment Agreements NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTrainer: Nicki Scott \nOur course on Repayment Agreements is designed to help Owners and Agents better understand the Department of Housing and Urban Developments\, or HUDs\, objective of reducing administrative and subsidy payment errors in order to assure that the right benefits go to the right persons. HUD has provided tools and guidance to Owners with the expectation of reducing assistance payment errors\, mismanagement and/or fraud. Throughout this course\, we will review the requirements detailed in Chapters 8 and 9 of the Handbook\, which address the actions that Owners must\, should and may take upon discovering a discrepancy and/or possible error that affects a tenants rent and/or eligibility. Next\, HUD has very specific requirements regarding tenant and/or Owner repayment agreements. We will detail these requirements as well as provide guidance on successfully negotiating and entering into a repayment agreement with a tenant. Additionally\, HUD recognizes the financial and administrative burden of investigating and documenting discrepancies and/or possible errors. We will review the guidance in the Handbook stating that Owners may retain a portion of the repayments they collect from tenants to defray the cost of pursuing these cases. Finally\, throughout this course we will use a case study to highlight HUDs requirement of investigating and documenting discrepancies and/or possible errors and entering into repayment agreements with tenants in order to reimburse HUD for improper subsidy payments.

SUMMARY:Death of  Tenant Webinar

When a resident passes away the role of a Resident Service Coordinator and Property Manager can become confusing and even complicated. Though it is tempting to help a grieving family in any way possible\, the way you handle such a situation may expose the landlord to issues of liability that you may not have anticipated; it is important to be aware of the legal implications for the property\, Management Company or owner. During this seminar we will review the requirements of the probate system\, estate laws\, HUD regulations\, different routes to recover possession of the unit\, as well as risk management.
