    Description
    This course offers a comprehensive exploration of affordable housing property management, focusing on the management of income-restricted properties and special populations such as low-income families, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and formerly homeless residents. Students learn the roles and responsibilities of property management in relation to supportive services in the buildings they are managing, compliance with funding regulations and reporting requirements, including tax credits, project-based and tenant-based federal rental subsidies (e.g., Section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers, Continuum of Care programs), local rental subsidies, and permanent supportive housing (PSH). Topics include tenant relations & engagement, fair housing laws, de-escalation strategies, trauma-informed property management, harm reduction, rent calculation, budgeting, maintenance, and risk management (including evictions and habitability standards), motivational interviewing, and partnerships with public agencies, housing authorities, social service providers, and developers.
