SUMMARY:Tax Credit Training and SHCM Exam Online
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Deb Piltch  \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. Course Overview: One 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. \nWe will offer the SHCM exam (optional) the afternoon of day two. If 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 – This 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 Q. What is the SHCM Certification? A. 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? A. 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? A. 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? A. The application is available on- line at the following website: http://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? A. 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? A. 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$629 NEAHMA Members \n$809 Non Members

SUMMARY:Language Access Half Day Training
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Deb Piltch \nRegister Here  \nPresenter: Deb Piltch\, Piltch Associates \nMany of our housing communities have applicants and residents whose primary or sole language isn’t English.  This engaging webinar will discuss: \n\nThe legal obligations to provide “meaningful access” to our housing programs for applicants and residents who have limited English proficiency.  \n\nWhat 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.\n\n\nThe business related reasons to provide meaningful access to people whose primary language isn’t English?\nSteps recommended Owners/Agents take to fulfill both their legal obligations and effectively address their business operations needs.\nResources available$159 NEAHMA Members\n$209 Non Members

SUMMARY:LIHTC File Audit Online Training
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Deb Piltch \nRegister Here  \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.

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.    \n$359 NEAHMA Members  \n$509 Non Members

SUMMARY:Language Access 1/2 day online training
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Deb Piltch  \nRegister Here \nMany of our housing communities have applicants and residents whose primary or sole language isn’t English.  This engaging webinar will discuss: \n\nThe legal obligations to provide “meaningful access” to our housing programs for applicants and residents who have limited English proficiency.  \n\nWhat 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.\n\n\nThe business related reasons to provide meaningful access to people whose primary language isn’t English?\nSteps recommended Owners/Agents take to fulfill both their legal obligations and effectively address their business operations needs.\nResources available\n\n$159 NEAHMA Members \n$209 Non Members \n

SUMMARY:LEP & Fair Housing Webinar

But even a tax credit or market rate property could be in trouble if LEP persons face barriers to applying.
