On-Site Education and Technical Assistance
NAHRO’s On-site Education and Technical Assistance Program delivers over
75 training and technical assistance events each year to more than 2,500 participants
working in the affordable-housing industry. Individual agencies and NAHRO chapters
and regions have found this delivery option provides an opportunity to educate
more staff at a reasonable price, because there is reduced travel time, lodging
and generally no airfares. Dramatically eliminating or reducing these expenses
benefits the bottom-line while at the same time provides the perfect environment
for team building and staff mentoring.

Professional Development Seminars and Certifications can be brought to your locality.
Additionally, we offer timely specific technical and customized training. For
example, in helping agencies prepare and/or recover from HUD RIM Reviews, our
most popular training in 2004 was Eligibility, Income and Rent Calculation. Explore
the NAHRO website at www.nahro.org to learn more about our portfolio of educational
offerings on such topics as Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher operation
and management, procurement, inspections, maintenance, and commissioner training.
Reasons to Consider On-Site Training:
- On-site instruction may reduce travel time, lodging and airfares.
- Instructors can devote more time to discuss issues that are specific to
your organization or locale.
- In-house training provides a great environment for team building, plus all
staff hear valuable information at the same time. Hence, participants gain
a shared perspective and common skills together.
- There is flexibility with pricing. Options include NAHRO handouts, Certificates
of Completion, and /or exams. We will work with you to design a program that
meets your budget.
- Training is scheduled to fit your calendar!

approach to on-site training. Here's what Executive Director's are saying
about NAHRO's on-site training:
“A knowledgeable and well trained staff is very beneficial to any PHA.
With all of the regulatory changes that have taken place recently it is even
more crucial that we stay on top of things and make sure that we are current.
Since we could not afford to send everyone away that needed the training, the
next best thing was to bring the trainer to us. That is where the NAHRO On-Site
TA Program came in. We were able to not only get the much needed assistance
for our agency, but were able to partner with two other agencies who needed
guidance in the same areas. It was most beneficial for everyone.”
Richard Herrington, Jr.
Executive Director
Housing Authority of the City of Texarkana, TX
“In the past two years, the Augusta Housing Authority of Augusta, GA has
used NAHRO trainers to work with staff and residents. Staff gained valuable
knowledge in PH and Section 8 Eligibility, Income and Rent Calculation, Section
8 Homeownership, and resident leaders increased their professionalism and confidence
in the Resident Leadership training. Feedback from staff and residents has been
overwhelmingly positive. In addition to the information and interaction during
the training sessions, NAHRO provided printed resources that continue to reinforce
the concepts presented. For the August Housing Authority, NAHRO training was
well worth the investment.”
Jacob Oglesby
Executive Director
Housing Authority of the City of Augusta, GA

“I would like to strongly endorse the NAHRO Technical Service
product. Last year we utilized the service and were able to efficiently, economically,
and professionally work with our Board of Commissioners and executive staff
to develop our strategic plan for the next five years. NAHRO’s facilitator
was able to bring this diverse group together in a pleasant, non-threatening
manner to help us identify our common objectives and work as a team to plan
a course of action to meet the challenges we face in the future. Thanks NAHRO
for providing such a valuable service to the industry.”
