The following are the remaining Group Trainings scheduled for 2010. Please check back for more information. Course schedules and descriptions are subject to change. HOME Program Asset Management for Community Housing Development Organizations Many St. Louis area community development corporations (CDCs) have a portfolio of HOME rental properties. It is thus increasingly important that these properties are well managed and operated in compliance with the HOME rules. This course will focus on how to evaluate and enhance the long-term value of your HOME Program units through asset management. The course will include in-depth discussions on issues such as analysis of rental portfolio management and intervention strategies for troubled projects. Participants will learn how to spot “early warning signals” in troubled projects, and oversee rental projects to ensure that these projects continue to meet HOME requirements and provide an affordable housing resource over the long term. Who Should Attend Representatives from Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), and potential CHDOs as well as community development professionals interested in the HOME Program. Date: Thursday, May 27, 2010 Time: 9 a.m. – Noon Location: Harris Stowe State University Southwestern Bell Library – Seminar Room Data Management and Mapping of Neighborhood Business and Economic Development Activity September 2010 This class will help show how RHCDA and its partners can provide important demographic and market information to Community Development Corporations (CDCs) that highlight the assets and market opportunities of consistently misrepresented, underserved urban neighborhoods. With better data come better investment opportunities. The content will highlight how community development professionals can gather data to support these overlooked urban markets by delivering the information about a community’s economic health needed to make critically important investments possible and partnering with investors, municipalities, and community leaders to leverage this valuable information in the decision-making process. Legal and Business Management Issues for 501 (c) Organizations November 2010 Community developments corporations (CDCs) and other nonprofit organizations improve the St. Louis community by providing social, educational, cultural, and other important services along with promoting housing and community development in distressed areas.
