Pdf Summary
The document outlines a training guide for managing public housing maintenance programs, presented by the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO). The training is structured into five key learning areas: Asset Management Model, Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) & NSPIRE, Maintenance Operations, Procurement & Contracting, and Budget Management.<br /><br />Participants will learn to implement strategies to enhance daily operations, improve REAC scores, and accelerate unit turnover. The course also covers developing a public housing maintenance plan, reviewing procurement requirements, and identifying typical maintenance expenditures.<br /><br />Asset management for public housing is emphasized, promoting a business-like approach with a site-based structure to ensure the long-term viability of properties. PHAS is another focus, helping properties achieve varying performance levels, from high performer to troubled performer, depending on scores across physical, management, financial, and capital fund indicators.<br /><br />A section is dedicated to NSPIRE – the National Standards for Physical Inspections of Real Estate, starting July 1, 2023, which refines the inspection process, focusing more on residents' safety. Immediate correction is required for life-threatening and severe deficiencies, with adherence to reporting guidelines.<br /><br />The administration of maintenance operations involves detailed plans for routine and preventative actions, including effective unit turn strategies to minimize vacancy loss. Additionally, best practices for work order management are discussed.<br /><br />Procurement and contracting sessions guide participants on the procurement process, emphasizing compliance with federal requirements.<br /><br />Regarding budgeting, the guide explains the importance of historical expense review, personnel costs, and planning for unexpected maintenance needs, complemented by insights on capital funds and other grants.<br /><br />In the closing sections, participants are briefed on certification processes, assessment methods, and support available during the examination.
