The workshop scope covers the duties of nonprofit community
developers of affordable housing and other projects to meet the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
relevant statutory and regulatory environmental mandates.
Trainees
will learn how to identify whether or not environmental issues
are integral to their respective development projects and how to
assess them. The focus is statutory and regulatory compliance.
This training provides in-depth coverage of environmental
requirements. It prepares individuals in institutions,
organizations and government who have critical responsibilities
involving planning, financing and construction of HUD projects
-- public and private sector developers, community development
corporations (CDCs), governmental staff and decision makers,
civic organizations, faith based organizations and community
groups. For example, SCDG conducted the training via a workshop
organized for state and local government and nonprofit housing
developers in San Antonio, TX by the
National Association of
Housing Redevelopment Officials and Transpire.
