NEW! Afternoon Workshops Announced for the National Harbor/DC Training Institute (PDF)
The setting for this exciting training institute is the new Gaylord National Hotel and
Convention Center, a waterfront jewel in Prince George's County — directly across the
Potomac River from Washington, DC. This world-class facility is the cornerstone of National
Harbor, an innovative mixed-use development that offers an amazing array of entertainment
and amenities just steps from the water, and in close proximity to the excitement of Old
Town Alexandria and downtown Washington.
In the metropolis of the nation's capital, take part in over 100
courses being offered and attend the Homeownership Symposium, The Mind of the Homebuyer: How Consumers Decide and Act.
While in the DC metro area, take a tour of the Senate and Capitol or schedule a visit to
your local representative. From the Senate gallery, you can watch our political system in
action and witness firsthand the Senate proceedings. Expand your horizons with trips to the
national Smithsonian museums on the mall. Take an international food tour with restaurants
from around the world — Thai, German, Russian, Ethiopian, Bulgarian, French, Italian,
Portuguese, Brazilian, southern, fusion, seafood, vegetarian and even more! The Washington,
DC, area is where culture comes alive and communities connect.
At this year's DC-Area NeighborWorks Training Institute, come together with your peers and
others around the country to tackle your community challenges, re-energize your commitment to
progress and share best practices in a place where the nation comes together to work toward
better communities and a better country. We look forward to seeing you there!

Washington, DC, offers exciting opportunities for you and your staff
with new and updated courses:
Offered in partnership with the Cooperation for Supportive Housing — If you’re struggling with finding ways to keep
the most vulnerable residents of your community
housed, this supportive housing primer
is for you. Come learn about the benefits to
various populations and public systems, the
differences between affordable and supportive
housing, how to build community support, the
key outcome measures, and more.
This course will enable
participants to identify opportunities to introduce
health/energy/water benefits into routine building
maintenance and capital improvement processes.
Learn to evaluate project specific
data to set priorities for energy, water and resident
health improvements; use integrated planning tools to
prioritize improvements; and implement a green and
healthy property management plan that will reduce
energy and water use and improve resident health
conditions.
To supplement your classroom learning in community
development, join us for an in-depth look
at community development in action, with our NTI
host city as the model. Come spend the day "on
the road" — in a mobile workshop — interacting
with residents, city representatives, policy makers,
business leaders and others key to the community
engagement process. You’ll come back with a
deeper understanding of how this city works, how
things get done, and with concrete, replicable and
adaptable examples you can use in your own city.
This course uses the Logic Model framework
to help you plan with the end in mind. You’ll improve
your ability to design, market, monitor and evaluate
your organization’s programs using long-term, measurable
outcomes. This versatile and essential tool
for designing community development programs
will help you to identify needed resources, actions,
achievable outcomes and community impact. In
this interactive course you will study the difference
between inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and
impact, and practice your hand at designing Logic
Models through interactive class exercises.
Comprehensive neighborhood revitalization doesn’t
just happen by itself — it requires an intentional
process from initial research and analysis through
evaluating results. During this fun and interactive
three-day introductory course, participants will
prepare a neighborhood analysis strategy, explore various community participation techniques, and
organize and participate in a neighborhood visioning
exercise. You will also gain experience developing
goals and measurable objectives and preparing a
revitalization action plan. Recognizing that neighborhoods
across the country vary widely and that each
professional will bring a unique set of knowledge,
skills and experiences to the course, it is designed
to provide some common language and applied tools
that participants can use for successful neighborhood
revitalization in any community.
An introduction to the Environmental Review Record
required for every federally-funded project, including
activities which are exempt or categorically
excluded from NEPA, and those which require an
Environmental Assessment. Topics for the session will review and illustrate the following: Part 50 and Part 58 - NSP1 and NSP2 ER; Project Definition;
Level of Review (Exempt, Categorically,
Excluded — Not Subject To, Categorically
Excluded — Subject To, Environmental
Assessment);
Statutory Worksheet;
Section 106 Historic Properties Requirements;
Compliance Documentation;
Public Notice Requirements;
Online Resources for ER; Local Resources for ER.
The course will include set aside time for technical
assistance.
This course is designed for professionals in the Homeownership Counseling field who are working at the management level. Through hands-on application participants will learn procedures and methodology that will better equip them to manage the day to day operations of a housing counseling program. This course is aimed at
homeownership program managers or executive directors.
Nonprofit organizations use a number of online
communications strategies (websites, social media,
email, etc.) to increase visibility, shift attitudes, generate revenue, and engage various audiences.
This hands-on course provides an overview of the
different tools and techniques nonprofit managers
can use to support missions and build relationships
with constituents. Together, we will examine nonprofit
organizations’ use of social media to deepen participants'
understanding and offer ideas organizations
can apply. After completing this course participants
will have a broad understanding of online engagement
opportunities, and an initial framework for how to
approach and/or enhance the use of social media in
their organization.
