Tribal housing commissioners, executive directors and
housing attorneys address hundreds of housing disputes
every year. If you work with Indian housing programs,
you need a solid understanding of the
laws and regulations that affect the
daily activities of residents and tribal
housing staff and officials.
This course provides a detailed analysis
of federal housing law and regulations,
including NAHASDA, as they
pertain to tribal housing programs.
Learn the difference between housing law and housing policy. Understand the impact of NAHASDA on your
organization’s housing policies and make sure that they
comply with federal regulations and laws.
Attend this three-day class — taught
by one of the nation’s leading Indian
housing law experts — and feel confident
that your tribal housing program
is in order. Our comprehensive manual
will cover all the pertinent topics
and serve as a handy reference back
on the job. You’ll also receive a CD
containing relevant case law and legislation.
