NAHRO Public Housing and HCV Certification Changes Coming September 1

August 19, 2025 — Starting September 1, NAHRO’s Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher Certifications will be streamlined with new names!

  • The Certified Specialist of Occupancy – Public Housing (CSO-PH) and Certified Specialist of Eligibility and Calculation – Public Housing (CSEC-PH) will be combined into the Certified Specialist of Public Housing (CSPH).
  • The Certified Specialist of Occupancy – Housing Choice Vouchers (CSO-HCV) and Certified Specialist of Eligibility and Calculation – Housing Choice Vouchers (CSEC-HCV) will be combined into the Certified Specialist of Housing Choice Vouchers (CSHCV).

The education, experience, training, exam, and application requirements for these newly combined certifications will largely remain the same.

Currently certified HCV and PH professionals will receive more information about this change via email in the coming weeks. No action is required at this time.
