Technical Assistance is Available
Preservation Companies and CHDOs
The Neighborhood Preservation Coalition can assist your community-based housing organization by providing you with technical assistance in all aspects relevant to the management of effective organizations and programs. Technical assistance is simply the process of helping to assess a situation, develop a plan to redress problems or learn new skills, and then help you implement the changes or provide the training to help you or your organization carry out its work more effectively.
The Coalition has worked with housing organizations in a variety of capacities including: training new executive directors or program staff, reviewing the roles and responsibilities of the board of directors, providing data and maps for community assessments, developing a strategic plan, and implementing a housing project or program. We have also helped groups resolve disputes with the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewals and ensure compliance with other local, state, and federal funders.
Training Design:
NPC staff will work with the appropriate members of your staff and board to design the training and technical assistance services that will most benefit your organization. The provision of training and technical assistance services could take the form of board retreats, one-on-one meetings, in-service trainings, and/or research conducted in the field or in our offices.
Length of Training:
Depending on the types of services requested, training and technical assistance can be designed to meet the needs and time schedule of your organization. Training can be conducted at board meetings or weekend retreats. Small requests for information can often be met within a week or two while larger studies or research may take up to a year.
Fees and Third Party Payment:
Through contracts with the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) and the Pratt Institute Center for Community and Environmental Design with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Neighborhood Preservation Coalition is able to provide training and technical assistance to community-based housing organizations free of charge. Most of the training provided by the Coalition is conducted under these contracts. Please contact Coalition staff to learn what is available for your organization.
