Purpose

In the Capital Fund Program seminar, you'll gain practical knowledge through extensive review and discussion of the capital fund final rule. Participants will focus on melding capital planning into the PHA plan process, as well as how to use CFP funds for new construction and mixed finance development. In addition, this seminar includes information about new guidelines affecting management improvements, planning and reporting requirements, total development cost limitations, and other important changes. The class will discuss various scenarios, using a variety of techniques to enhance the learning experience. We recommend that CEOs (Executive Directors), CFOs (Finance Directors) and planning staff join modernization colleagues at this seminar, since the agency's mission, strategic goals, and objectives require a collaborative approach by policy staff as well as the technical modernization staff.

This two-day training is a comprehensive overview of all elements of the capital fund final rule and other essential related capital fund strategies relevant to public housing. Content areas include:

• Overview of the major changes in the CFP final rule 
• New submission requirements
• Required linkage of the CFP and the PHA plan processes 
• New (and existing) eligible and ineligible costs and activities, including the phase-down of allowable management improvements from 20 percent to 10 percent 
• Obligation and expenditure deadlines and requirements 
• Procurement mandatory references and requirements, including Section 3 requirements 
• Physical needs assessment (PNA) requirements for large and small PHAs 
• How the capital fund indicator is scored under the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS)
• Strategies to maximize occupancy
