Each year, housing commissioners, executive directors
and attorneys must address hundreds of issues surrounding
housing disputes. Anyone
working with Indian housing authorities
needs a solid understanding of the
laws and regulations that affect their
daily activities.
This course provides a detailed analysis
of the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act — P.L. 104-330.
Learn the prerequisites for preparing and submitting
a NAHASDA grant proposal
— and its impact on tribal housing authorities and tribal
governments. It will help you design a housing strategy
that will enable you to capitalize on
your assets. You’ll explore ways to increase
revenue and various types of
programs that can be developed with
NAHASDA funds. Other topics, such
as the management responsibilities of
housing authorities and organizing
under NAHASDA, will be covered extensively.
