Project Description:

The Troubled Agency Recovery Center (TARC) required the services of a contractor to provide training and workforce development services to the Board of Commissioners of the Huntington Housing Authority (HHA), in Huntington, NY. HHA had a full slate of newly appointed Board Members joining two current Resident Commissioners. Specifically, training services were necessary in the following areas: public housing finance and accounting; state and local housing law; the principles of the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC); low rent public housing program; and the Section 8 program.​

North American Management provided a workforce development training retreat to the Board of Commissioners of the Huntington Housing Authority so that the Board members would have an increased understanding of their roles and responsibilities, with emphasis on the Board’s oversight role in financial management and procurement. The training covered all aspects of the roles and responsibilities of the Board and included program and policy management, development and oversight; operations; admissions, occupancy and rent; resident roles and responsibilities; Housing Choice Vouchers and moderate rehabilitation; capital programs; security and safety programs; and energy and cost efficiency.
