The Certified Professional of Occupancy (CPO) one day course is a fast- paced condensed version of the NAHMA CPO full three-day course. Designed for the busy property management staff in mind.

This course was developed for well-suited professionals who have been actively working in the affordable housing industry and who:

  • Have taken a comprehensive occupancy related course(s) in the past several years (online or classroom)
  • Have extensive exposure to the HUD 4350 and familiarity of how to navigate the handbook.

You will learn:

The key topics in each chapter of the HUD Handbook 4350.3, and how to implement what you have learned in your role as an Affordable Housing Industry Professional.

Some of the items reviewed include civil rights and non-discrimination requirements, program, project and income eligibility, occupancy standards, tenant screening, wait list management, the HUD model lease and rent computations, security deposits, termination of assistance tenancy and fraud.

Each participant will receive a course manual as well as a copy of the HUD 4350.3 Occupancy Handbook.

Exam:
After completing the one day of interactive instruction, participants will be given a voucher number to take the online exam at the location of their choice, home office, headquarters or property office. The voucher expires after three weeks. Students are notified immediately of their test results upon completion of the exam.

Students that successfully pass the exam, will receive a certificate and a lapel pin, as well as be listed on the online credential directory.
With the CPO certification there is an annual modest renewal fee, and six CEU credits that must be completed and submitted annually
