SUMMARY:RI Quarterly\,Handling Drug Criminal Activity in Housing-N. Providence\, RI
DESCRIPTION:Handling Drug Criminal Activity in Housing \nAt 5:00 am on a normal Thursday morning\, things turn to “not-so-normal” in the blink of an eye.  Swat Team vans show up at the property.  One of your buildings is surrounded by at least twenty police officers who are fully equipped with shotguns and are wearing masks and bulletproof vests.  One brave officer smashes the door to unit 302 in with a battering ram.  Another five officers enter the unit with extreme speed and precision.  A few minutes later they remove the tenant from the apartment in handcuffs.  You later learn that the tenant has been charged with possession and distribution of massive quantities of crack-cocaine and heroin.  The outside of your apartment building is now the site of the lead story of every newscast in Rhode Island. \n  \nUnfortunately\, this scenario is not a made up one or something that was seen in a movie.  Landlord-Tenant issues in Rhode Island are getting more and more complicated. Join us for an informative session that will address drug problems from two different perspectives. \n  \nKevin Eaton\, Supervisory Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Justice in Providence\, will speak about many issues relating to drug activity potentially happening at your site. Is it only consumption? Or is there sale and perhaps even production going on? Using his experience of 16 years  and his familiarity with this issue in Rhode Island\, Mr. Eaton will present signs to help determine if sales or production is going on\, how to recognize problem resident and visitors\, how to keep your staff and property safe\, and tips about getting law enforcement involved. \n  \nFrank Flynn and attorneys from the Flynn Law Group will present the second part of this session in an interactive format.  Hypothetical scenarios will be examined and best legal options and strategies to address the use\, possession\, and distribution of drugs based on recent cases that they have handled.  Topics to be addressed include: \n\nHow to work with legal counsel to handle various drug issues\nThe use of injunctions as a course of action.\nProper documentation of issues.\nRelationships with local\, state and regional law enforcement>\nPreparation for court hearings.\n\n  \nFlynn Law Group is a growing regional law firm that handles residential\, commercial and condominium matters in all of the New England states.

SUMMARY:LIHTC File Audit Overview-Hartford\,CT
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nTrainer: Debbie Piltch\, Piltch Associates\nIMPORTANT Requirement: Please bring a sample tenant file and calculator with you. \nLIHTC File Audit\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:Tax Credit Training and SHCM Exam-Hartford\, CT
DESCRIPTION:This is an excellent opportunity for you to receive comprehensive Tax Credit training coupled with an opportunity to take the industry’s newest credential exam. \n  \nREGISTER NOW \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/content/SHCM%20Application.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.
