(12) Resident Green Education Ongoing. In addition, a minimum total of four hours per year of continuing education in any of the above 12 topics is required. Delivery Methods All training must be delivered by a provider accepted by OAHP. The initial and ongoing training can be instructor -led classes, training seminars, association or industry training sessions, college or university courses, or other widely - recognized training or any combination of these. OAHP requires a majority of the training be completed through classroom instruction where the participant can engage and interact with their peers and other professionals. Property managers can use online courses to supplement the classroom instruction. Property owners /managers may contract with accepted providers to deliver training to the on -site staff, on -site lead maintenance person, or their direct supervisor. Allowable Property Expenses OAHP will underwrite an estimated cost for this training and credential, and ongoing continuing education, including an assumption of some staff turnover, as an eligible property expense, as follows: First Year $6,000 (initial certification) ($5,000 in rehab escrow and $1,000 in projected operating expenses) Every Other Year $1,000 (continuing education) (all in projected operating expenses) The training funded through the rehab escrow is a Green Significant Addition and subject to the 3% owner contribution. The underwritten expense line item is an eligible property expense only to the extent that it is utilized to train and educate an individual directly responsible for management and/or maintenance of the subject property, and directly responsible for implementation of the Green Operations & Maintenance Plan required of owners receiving the incentives offered under the Green Initiative. Property owners / managers should be diligent in pursuing cost - efficient training options. Staff Turnover Version 4, November 2010 W4MUseAgmtRevised for Green Initiative (October 2011) D -7 201302388 If the person with the green property management training or certification leaves the property owner's /manager's employ, the owner has up to 180 days to replace the person with a person who meets the requirements (or train another employee to the required 16 -hour level) and provide evidence to OAHP. The training expenses associated with certifying subsequent staff are not eligible property expenses beyond the $1,000 budgeted line item, and the balance of those costs must be paid from the owner's funds (presumably from the increased Incentive Performance Fee). The OAHP Green Team will review, approve and oversee compliance. FRENCH vuAGE
