Ethics for the Housing and Community Development Commissioner
Low-income and community development housing practitioners face ethical dilemmas on a regular basis. Ethics can often take a back seat when tough decisions need to be made even though the consequences of making a poor decision can have a devastating impact on an agency and the affordable housing industry as a whole. As an industry service, NAHRO provides essential training to housing agency commissioners at training centers located across the nation at a very affordable price. Come to learn why you and your board need to attend the full one-day ethics-focused seminar offered in your locale.
