Overview
Admissions & Occupancy is a three (3) day online training with December 4th (12/4/20) being available for participants to schedule a one-on-one session with the trainer. This training is designed to enhance the job performance of Admissions and Occupancy staff and other tribal housing professionals working on Admissions and Occupancy issues. The course will cover Admissions and Occupancy program management with topics to include: the application and selection process, eligibility for housing assistance, calculating annual income, determining monthly rental or homeownership payments, occupancy standards, collections practices and compliance, effective communication techniques with residents, lease agreement compliance, and collections. The course will also examine how maintaining high standards in the Admissions and Occupancy program affects the overall management of tribal housing programs. Participants are encouraged to have calculators and a copy of their Admissions and Occupancy policies available so they can practice applying them to case studies and role-playing exercises presented during this course.
