Join us at Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Federal Building in Boston, MA on July 26th, 2024 from 9:00am to 5:00pm for an upcoming Public Housing Resident Coalition and Capacity Building Training hosted by the Office of Public and Indian Housing’s Office of Public Housing and Voucher Programs (OPHVP). This comprehensive in-person training is designed to equip Public Housing Residents with the knowledge, skills, tools, and capacity to successfully implement resident/tenant participation as required by 24 CFR 964.16.
During the day-long session, participants will work through the processes of forming and implementing effective and sustainable Resident Councils and regional coalitions of public housing residents. Tenant leaders and members of resident organizations will have the opportunity to:
- Develop knowledge and skills to initiate, strengthen, and/or sustain the capacity of their own Resident Councils
- Develop knowledge, skills, and networking connections to build and sustain effective regional coalitions of public housing residents
- Learn how to become more effective advocates through partnerships with their public housing agencies (PHAs) and other community organizations
