SUMMARY:Limited English Proficiency Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Gwen Volk \nRegister Here  \nHUD recently reminded us that failure to provide meaningful access to persons with Limited English Proficiency could be a violation of the Fair Housing Act. Why? Because National Origin is a protected class. HUD and RD properties are required to periodically look at the LEP profile of their residents and market area and update their plan to provide meaningful access. But even a tax credit or market rate property could be in trouble if LEP persons face barriers to applying. Come to this session to find out what to do about LEP.\n \n90 Minute Webinar\n \n$109 NEAHMA Members\n$189 Non Members

SUMMARY:Tax Credit 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. 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. • Basic Tax Credit – Designed for beginner level tax credit managers and will provide participants with an overview of the Tax Credit Program. • 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. • 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 \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: 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? \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$629 NEAHMA Members \n$809 Non Members

SUMMARY:REAC TODAY - New Changes\, Status of NSPIRE Demonstration Program\, and Ways to Be Ahead of the Curve on Creating Effective Internal Controls for Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Scott Precourt \nRegister Here \n\nNo matter how experienced you are\, it’s tough to get your units in decent\, safe\, and sanitary condition. Especially while overcoming daily challenges such as tenant damage\, unreported damage\, razor-thin budgets\, and aging properties is tough. Combine those challenges with oversight from agencies like REAC\, and it can become stressful and feel like a thankless task. \nDeveloping a Compliance Driven Maintenance Policy \nSome rules and regulations govern eligibility\, how much rent a family pays\, and many other aspects of affordable housing. Many companies have specialists who monitor compliance with these requirements or outsource compliance to experts like US Housing Consultants. \nBut when it comes to maintenance and inspections\, the standards are looser\, less specific\, and open to interpretation\, and frequently – sub-standard results. With HUD’s NSPIRE initiative to include requirements for self-inspections with electronic reporting\, now is the time for owners and managers to develop a compliance-driven maintenance policy. \nThe Importance of Leadership in Property Maintenance\nThe most effective maintenance policies include procedures for utilizing “a second set of eyes” who check the quality of maintenance performance in real-time\, just like we do with LIHTC and HUD file approvals. How do you implement this sort of oversight while avoiding micro-management? How do make employees feel helped with the oversight and not hounded? \n\n\nNew REAC Rules and Expectations\nAs always\, REAC rules and expectations are always changing. After years of using a risk-based approach for REAC Inspections\, it became apparent that there is a big difference between low-risk and high-quality. Learn about the new REAC rule changes and expectations and how you should best prepare for your next inspection. \nWe’ll also discuss how to handle the new challenges of preparing for REAC Inspections during COVID-19 and just when REAC is expected to return to full operation. \nThe Progress of the NSPIRE Demonstration Program\nHUD is working on a demonstration program named “NSPIRE\,” which is to replace the inspection protocol used by REAC and institute new procedures to move the focus on inspections to safety and quality. The program also proposes to include: \n• Using NSPIRE for all housing funding programs\n• Changing REAC Inspection frequency to be up to 5 years apart\n• Creating a new tenant focused system based on safety first\n• New rules about enforcement on failed inspections and appeals \nJoin us and learn about where the NSPIRE demonstration program is what you should do to prepare for this substantial change to property inspections. \n$109 NEAHMA Members \n$189 Non Members \n

SUMMARY:Harassment During The Pandemic-How It Impacts Housing\, Our Responsibilities as Housing Providers\, and What We Can Do To Prevent It At Our Sites
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Deb Piltch \nRegister Here  \nHarassment based on protected status has risen during the pandemic.  HUD’s Fair Housing Office and the Justice Department\, as well as the media\, have focused attention on harassment of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and housing providers sexually harassing residents.  This training will explore not only current data and provide examples of the behavior but explain the reasons why companies must be committed to cultivating a respectful workplace and living environment and seek to ensure inappropriate and harassing behavior is not a part of our housing communities.
