Admissions and Occupancy
Admissions & Occupancy Program Management is an interactive course designed to enhance the job performance of occupancy specialists and other tribal housing professionals working on admissions and occupancy issues. This course will cover the application and selection process, eligibility, calculating annual income, determining monthly rental or homeownership payments, occupancy standards, collections practices and compliance, effective communication techniques with residents, and lease agreement compliance.

Acquisition Basics
Housing authorities, tribal housing departments, and tribal governments are accountable for the proper procurement of goods and services with Indian Housing Block Grant funds. Because contract awarding involves the use of funds collected from taxpayers, a higher standard is applied to the procurement process than is the case with private industry contracts. This course covers the regulatory procurement requirements and methods for implementing them.
This three day course will bring you up-to-date on current procurement practices as they affect contract administration and procurement in the purchasing of materials or services for tribal housing organizations. Click here for more information.
