SUMMARY:Death of Tenant NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \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 Attorney Frank A. Flynn 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:Tax Credit Training and SHCM Exam-Framingham\, MA
DESCRIPTION:  \nREGISTER HERE \nThis 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 for LIHTC Properties –\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.

SUMMARY:Housing Protections for Victims of Domestic Violence:  A Fair Housing Perspective © NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Gwen Volk\, InFocus\n\nREGISTER HERE \nWith its re-authorization in 2013\, VAWA now applies to all HUD\, Rural Development\, and IRS Section 42 (tax credit) housing developments. Although not “self-executing” because of its convergence with fair housing laws\, housing providers can’t afford to take a “wait and see” attitude until agencies issue their final guidance.  This course simplifies the current and pending rules and goes beyond VAWA with a review of relevant state laws and how these will impact management of both affordable and conventional housing.  Students are also challenged to decide how they would respond to typical scenarios.

SUMMARY:Communicating Effectively NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \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:Service Programs on a Shoestring©
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Gwen Volk\, InFocus \nREGISTER HERE \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:LIHTC File Audit-N.Providence\, RI
DESCRIPTION:Trainer: Debbie Piltch\, Piltch Associates\nIMPORTANT Requirement: Please bring a sample tenant file and calculator with you. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \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.
