                                                          TAP MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSES

MassHousing’s Partner Learning and Training Initiatives (including TAP Management Training and Community Services Conference)

Working as a thought leader to provide high quality learning opportunities focusing on the intersection of affordable housing and social issues for affordable and public housing property management staff and service providers working with residents and applicants.   Trainings directly support MassHousing’s mission of confronting the housing challenges of the Commonwealth to improve the lives of its people.

TAP Management trainings are open to the general public; content is relevant for Resident Services Coordinators, Property Managers, Maintenance Professionals, Service Providers and Advocates.  MassHousing offers over 40 trainings between September and June at a variety of locations across Massachusetts. MassHousing is committed to offering content that meets each of HUD’s required subject areas for HUD RSC Certification at least once per year.  

Training registration fees for TAP Members are waived.  To learn more about TAP Management Training, please go to 
www.masshousing.com/TAPtraining or email tapregistration@masshousing.com.

The annual Community Services Conference provides an additional learning opportunity for people working in the affordable housing industry.  The conference brings together housing professionals and service providers to learn about a particular topic identified as a challenge within affordable housing and the larger community.  Past conference topics include Human Trafficking, Hoarding, Substance Abuse, Mental Health, the Opioid Epidemic, Older Adults in Community, Youth, and others.  Conference registration fees for TAP members are waived. For information and resources from past conferences, please go to www.masshousing.com/conference.

MassHousing Resources
MassHousing maintains and updates the Massachusetts Resident Service Coordinator’s Handbook – a guide to providing resident services.  It is applicable to RSC’s working in both Elderly/Disabled Housing and family housing – property managers may also find it helpful.  The handbook is available to everyone with live links at www.masshousing.com/TAP.  

MassHousing also maintains a variety of fair housing related resources and sample forms including a comprehensive handbook on reasonable accommodations “A Handbook on the Legal Obligations and Rights of Public and Assisted Housing Providers Under Federal and State Fair Housing Law for Applicants and Tenants with Disabilities.” You may access these fair housing resources at www.masshousing.com/fairhousing

Finally, MassHousing maintains a statewide directory of hoarding information and resources at www.masshousing.com/hoarding.
