LHAP Preparation & Strategy Design 1st

This workshop addresses the fundamentals of implementing the LHAP as required by SHIP. The training is strongly recommended for staff with LHAPs due in 2019. It focuses on requirements for completing the plan and assessing what improvements will benefit a local government’s housing strategies.  The guidance from this workshop will help SHIP administrators adjust, adapt, and be successful in the LHAP submittal and approval process.  Learn about new plan requirements and hear details about the latest plans that Florida Housing’s review committee has accepted…or sent back for more work. 

 

The presenters will look beyond a list of rules and regulations to help participants understand the basis and reasoning for program requirements. This deeper knowledge will help participants as they consider how to update their process or strategies. Topics will include preparing the AHAC Report and tuning up your housing strategies in a changing market. The presenters will advise participants how to write a SHIP Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) that is clear, concise and complies with all requirements. The training will highlight details in the updated LHAP template, offer instructions on properly completing the Housing Delivery Goals Chart and other required forms, and help assess how to enhance housing strategies, learn best practices to ensure quick approval, and common mistakes to avoid.
