2019 Spring Training
Managing Rural Development with Combined Programs
The purpose of this course is to provide information for all interested personnel to successfully provide housing through RD regulations. This two-day course includes the optional online HCM-R exam.
Day 1 of this training will start with an overview of the RD Programs Handbook HB – 2-3560 and the Regulation 3560. We will then cover the housing programs under Section 515 including family, elderly and congregate properties and how to maintain them. This section is followed by marketing and the application process. This includes the Civil Rights Act and the Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP) which covers application requirements, wait lists, and the required notices. We then discuss the project occupancy requirements on family, elderly and congregate properties and how to calculate income (7CFR .560.153 refers to 24 CFR 5.609 & 11) and assets along with allowable deductions and determining rent.
Day 2 covers the Recertification process for annual recerts, recerts due because of income or occupancy changes, and ineligible tenants. Lease requirements, tenant warning and termination. Following will be a review on Combined Programs. Development and compliance of affordable, multifamily housing which can be challenging. The ability to combine affordable programs is a valuable component and assists in the success and availability of affordable housing. But, mixing programs can get complicated and presents challenges for meeting all of the program requirements as intended. During this session we will highlight the most common areas that can be the most challenging when blending other programs. A final review of this class concludes day two.
