Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Occupancy, Eligibility, Income and Rent Calculation

This NAHRO Professional Development offering combines two seminars — Housing Choice Voucher Occupancy and Housing Choice Voucher Eligibility, Income, and Rent Calculation — into one comprehensive program. This seminar meets two of the professional development requirements for NAHRO’s Housing Choice Voucher Occupancy Specialist Certification.

This seminar will provide participants with an understanding of the vast regulatory guidance that has formed and shaped the Housing Choice Voucher program. It focuses on effective interviewing, waitlist management, screening, outreach and marketing, and accurate application of eligibility, income and rent calculation regulatory compliance. The nuts and bolts of dealing with eligibility, income, and rent calculations will be mastered through engaging participants in skill development and practice. Most importantly, this class will equip participants with the necessary skills to reduce errors and avoid HUD findings in compliance audits. (3.25 CEUs)
