Asset & Property Management Workbook Series

This series of workbooks gives advice and insight to community development corporation property managers or other individuals working in nonprofit housing. Published by LISC in 2001, these user-friendly PDFs walk the reader through concepts and tools to successfully operate an affordable housing complex.

The Peer-to-Peer Learning Workbook Series® were produced by the Organizational Development Initiative of LISC in 2001. The series was developed specifically for the not-for-profit community development industry. Community development corporations (CDCs) are found across the country actively improving their neighborhoods and cities by developing and managing affordable housing.

The Organizational Development Initiative (ODI) was LISC’s in-house management consultant, providing a broad array of services and technical assistance to CDCs. ODI designed locally delivered trainings and business tools for improving both day-to-day operations and strategic thinking and planning.

These workbooks were specifically designed for CDC asset or property managers or other individuals working in not-for-profit housing. There are many ways the workbook can be utilized. Designed specifically for groups of practitioners who may gather to discuss topics of shared interest and common experience, the workbook exercises are crafted to stimulate dialogue and support peer-to-peer learning. They can be used all or in part during “brown bag” lunches, for discussions following more formal trainings and meetings, or even for self tutoring.
