SUMMARY:Tax Credit and SHCM Exam-Worcester\,MA

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. \nBasic Tax Credit Designed for beginner level tax credit managers and will provide participants with an overview of the Tax Credit Program.\nLIHTC 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.\nCalculating 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. \nQ. How often will the SHCM examination be offered? \nA. NEAHMA is committed to providing you with the training you need to advance your career. Because we can not tell when an affordable housing professional will accomplish the prerequisites for SHCM designation\, we will offer the exam each time we provide LIHTC training. \n

SUMMARY:Death of  Tenant 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:LIHTC File Audit-Worcester\, MA
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \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: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.
