Community Housing information bulletin – April 2009
Affordable and social housing capacity building workshop
A capacity building workshop will be held to assist aspirational affordable housing providers from the not-for-profit and private sectors, and other interested parties, to participate in the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) and other affordable and social housing initiatives. Supporting the growth of the not-for-profit housing sector in delivering social and affordable housing is particularly important in light of potential funding opportunities.
The workshop is supported by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs through the National Rental Affordability Scheme's Enabling and Capacity Building Strategy. The Community Housing Federation of Australia has been funded to develop and deliver the workshop to ensure that organisations have considered, and are equipped to develop partnerships, apply for funding, and deliver increased numbers of affordable dwellings.
The workshop will provide staff with decision-making skills and governance tools that will help increase the sector's business development and systems capacity, and cover:
- decision-making and project management tools
- governance and prudential arrangements
- business acumen
- financial planning
- risk assessment
- brokerage and legal assistance, and
- increasing development capacity.
The workshop will be delivered in Brisbane from 9:30am to 4:30pm on 29 April 2009, at a cost of $30 per person. RSVP for this session by 24 April 2009.
