Overview

This three (3) day training will provide participants with a wide scope of information pertaining to the planning and development of affordable housing projects under NAHASDA. Rather than focusing on a specific topic or type of project, this training will provide participants with the step-by-step process to professionally plan and implement various types of projects from conceptualization through management. Successful project implementation and program compliance is challenging and complex. This training is intended to assist recipients by providing an effective process to plan and manage NAHASDA projects which incorporates program requirements. The training will include a complex case study to provide an opportunity for participants with the opportunity to explore and evaluate various approaches to addressing complex housing challenges in rural Alaska villages. Additionally, training materials will include management tools to support planning and development of projects. Although the training will not focus on compliance, NAHASDA requirements will be incorporated in the training material and project implementation process to facilitate successful project implementation.
