California Housing Development Training Institute (HDTI)
OVERVIEW
Since 1988, the California Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) offices have sponsored HDTI and over 500 people representing community development organizations throughout California are graduates. LISC launched HDTI in response to an unmet educational need for a comprehensive program to develop the skills of the staff of community development corporations.
The goals of the HDTI program are:
- Increase the development capacity of community-based nonprofit development organizations by providing practical, comprehensive, and intensive skill training in affordable housing development and community development strategies and techniques.
- Increase the supply of affordable housing through the program's emphasis on production as part of the learning process. During the duration of the training program, each participant is expected to work on an actual housing development, applying the lessons learned during the workshop and creating a real-life context for the training.
- Foster a network of project management professionals who serve as a resource to each other, share information and provide peer support throughout their careers.
