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: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.
