Technical Assistance and Training

The Trust offers consulting services to a diverse clientele, including HUD, state and local housing agencies, community based and national nonprofits and low income residents.

The Trust engages in a variety of technical assistance, training and clearinghouse activities. Over the past 10 years, the Trust has been involved in the acquisition and rehabilitation of over 12,000 apartment units requiring a combined commitment of over $750 Million.

The Trust provides training to state and local housing finance agencies, nonprofits and others interested in preserving and improving affordable, multifamily housing. The Trust's latest series of workshops were conducted on behalf of the Association of Neighborhood and Housing Developers in New York City and the District of Columbia Housing and Community Development Department. The workshops concern (1) the upcoming changes in federal law that impact the preservation and improvement of federally assisted homes; and (2) how to use a mix of federal, state and local resources to preserve and improve affordable housing for working families and seniors.

In 1998, the National Housing Trust was awarded Outreach and Technical Assistance Grants (OTAG) to work with residents of Mark-to-Market properties in seven states: Alabama, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
