SUMMARY:Fair Housing Compliance (FHC) Online
DESCRIPTION:Trainer:  Michael Martinez \nRegister Here  \n\n\nThe requirements set forth in the Fair Housing Act and Section 504 regulations are enormously complex and far-reaching. NAHMA’s Fair Housing Compliance™ (FHC™) course trains managers to understand these complex regulations\, and provides clear instructions on fair housing laws. The comprehensive\, practical training manual for this course includes ready-to-use documents and forms to conduct a Section 504 Self-Evaluation and sample Transition Plan. The course teaches a step-by-step approach to determining the administrative and financial feasibility of making units accessible.\n \nThe Fair Housing Compliance (FHC) course is a comprehensive program offered by the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) for property management staff. NAHMA’s Fair Housing Compliance course trains management staff to understand complex fair housing regulations.\n \nEach participant will receive a copy of the NAHMA Fair Housing manual. The one-day program is composed of one day of instruction with a review and a two-hour exam. Individuals must pass this exam to obtain the FHC designation. The FHC is a requirement for NAHMA’s National Affordable Housing Professional (NAHP) certification program.\n \nAll participants who successfully complete the course will receive a FHC certificate and pin\, and be listed in NAHMA’s Online Credential Directory.\n \nPlease Note: This is a National Certification course.

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
