Are you a community housing development organization (CHDO) or potential CHDO? Are you a HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) participating jurisdiction (PJ) seeking to build better relationships with your CHDOs?
HUD just released a new online course called CHDO Opportunities in HOME. This self-paced online training serves as both a comprehensive introduction and an important refresher on regulatory requirements for CHDOs under the HOME Program. It includes a discussion of:
- CHDO set-aside and the relationship between PJs and CHDOs
- CHDO organizational structure
- CHDO eligible activities including both for-sale and rental housing
- CHDO as owner, sponsor, or developer of housing
- Incentives a PJ may provide to a CHDO, including operating, predevelopment assistance, and CHDO proceeds
The course is interactive and includes a mix of audio and video presentations, learning checks, and links to related HOME resources. Participants can receive credit for the course by passing a final quiz that reinforces key regulatory requirements applicable to CHDOs and their projects.
