Introduction to Affordable Housing

Format: 90-minute webinar or conference session
Focus: Designed for owners, agents, and others who are new to the industry or new to some of the programs. This session provides a plain-English overview of HUD, LIHTC, RD, HOME, CDBG, RAD, public housing, bonds, and other programs, including who regulates them and how they work together.

Understanding HOME

Format: 4 hours in two 2-hour webinars or half-day in person
Focus: HOME sounds a little like Section 8 and a little like tax credits, but it works differently from both. This course reviews HOME funding, income and rent limits, fixed and floating units, leases, inspections, qualifying households, recertifications, rent changes, income documentation, layered compliance, and noncompliance.

Are You Ready for RAD?

Format: 90-minute webinar or conference session
Focus: RAD has become a major preservation tool for public housing, Rent Supplement, RAP, Mod Rehab, PRACs, and other HUD-assisted housing. This session explains what RAD is, which properties may convert, how conversion changes the property, and what owners, managers, and compliance staff need to watch.
