At NPH, we believe engaging resident service staff to create cohorts of advocates will lead to policy outcomes that serve the affordable housing movement for all. To facilitate this conversation we have created the CAVE certification program which will provide a professional development opportunity for resident service staff.
CAVE certification program will be a three part series that is free to NPH member organization staff. It is open to all regional members. Please check back for upcoming trainings.
Take a look at the video of our first session from 2020 to see some of what we went over to start our CAVE certification series!
