SUMMARY:NEAHMA MA Quarterly Meeting-
DESCRIPTION:How the Substance Abuse\, Opioid & Heroin Addiction Epidemic affect our Housing Communities \nREGISTER HERE\nPresenter: Frank Flynn\, Flynn Law Group \nThis new interactive and informative training will review current and emerging trends in addiction. For example\, public health data reveals that opioid overdose occurs in all communities across the state – rural\, urban\, rich\, poor and among all age groups and ethnicity. The increasing availability of prescription opioid painkillers contributes dramatically to the problem\, both by causing addiction and by offering easy access\, with consumers able to obtain drugs from friends\, family members\, or medical providers. This presentation will also provide information about other drugs including designer drugs like Molly etc.\, as well as the identification of paraphernalia for drugs of abuse. Join us as we review recent developments\, examine the complicated effects in housing settings and gain an understanding of what we can and should do about it.

SUMMARY:Death of Tenant NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \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 we 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:Communicating Effectively NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n  \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.
