Washington, DC, where the nation comes together to work toward better communities and a better country, will offer exciting opportunities for you and your staff:
Check out an exciting course with a local neighborhood tour:
NR171 Back to the Future: Making History a Tool for Today
Take a tour. Hear from practitioners. Learn about the issues facing the community development field today as you tour the Congress Heights neighborhood and hear from representatives from LISC, HUD and the Development Corporation of Columbia Heights (MD).
Check out the many great courses that also address affordable housing:
Learn to assess the feasibility of rehabbing and selling or
leasing a foreclosed and abandoned property, acquire it from
the bank or other owner and how to arrange financing for
carrying the property and funding the rehab work.
This course highlights key issues to watch for in your
inspection and spec writing of the property. This course is
strongly recommended for all those who will be conducting
inspections of REO and abandoned properties as well as those
overseeing these rehab efforts.
This course addresses how to determine if the market is
adequate for reasonable return on the property, and what
marketing and sales strategies are best. The alternative of
lease-purchase arrangements are also presented, along with
strategies for administering that process.
This course is designed to help the participant identify ways of
mobilizing and adapting a management operation to effectively
monitor the operational performance of a scattered-site real
estate portfolio.
This course highlights strategic ways that organizations,
residents, homeownership counselors and outreach teams can
combat predatory lending and mitigate foreclosures in their
communities. The focus will be on effective strategies that
achieve maximum community and civic involvement while
being able to document results of these efforts.
Learn about the five distinct types of foreclosed homeowners,
each of which has different implications for restoring
neighborhoods of choice. The course equips participants
to access and better understand local data on housing
markets and other indicators of neighborhood distress due to
foreclosures.
Healthy neighborhoods have a positive image that encourages
people to stay and invest, and attracts new households and
other neighborhood-friendly investment. Learn about the
common mistakes neighbors and nonprofits make that
reinforce negative images, and how to avoid them. Learn how
to apply private sector marketing techniques to neighborhoods
to build identity, attract homebuyers, give neighbors a sense of
pride, and accomplish many other marketing goals.
