Next Class: October 1, 2024 - October 29, 2024

Interested in a professional and lucrative career in affordable housing management?

Affordable Housing Management is a 5-week, on-campus program designed to provide a foundation in professional property management, development and operations of the Section 42 Low Income Tax Credit Program, fair housing, income and assets, application certification lease renewals, and compliance. 

Property management is the professional service of managing private, public, or third party owned real estate. Management companies employ property managers who are responsible for the day to day operations of the community including but not limited to greeting prospects, presenting apartment homes and features, and properly securing lease contract agreements for qualified applicants. Property management is a service oriented profession that strives to make current residents feel welcome and comfortable in their community.

This program is for students who may want to work for local, state, and/or federal housing agencies, would like to work for an affordable housing developer, continuing education for real estate professionals, and/or just interested in the topic of affordable housing. A degree is not required  to be eligible for employment opportunities such as a property manager and/or leasing agent.

Workforce Innovation & Opportunities Act (WIOA)

What is WIOA Training Funding?

In Louisiana, WIOA awards may provide up to $8,000 for qualifying individuals to train in approved programs to advance their careers. Training programs are approved through the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LA Department of Labor), and individuals are approved for funding by the local workforce offices. 

Loyola University's Affordable Housing Management course is an LWC approved training program. 

Am I eligible for WIOA funding? 

Have you recently been laid off from your job? Have you only been able to obtain part-time work? Have you been self-employed, but the economy or a natural disaster has put you out of business? Have you been dependent on the income of another family member and are no longer supported by that income; and are unemployed or underemployed?  

If you have answered yes to any of the questions above, you may qualify for the Workforce Innovation & Opportunities Act (WIOA) funding. 

What are the next steps?

To find out if you qualify for WIOA funding, you may contact your local workforce office or register on the Louisiana Workforce Commission HiRE website. JOB1 serves as the local workforce office for the New Orleans region. If you would like to learn more about WIOA, or contact our Workforce Development & Partnerships Administrator, Chelsea Gaspard, at crgaspar@loyno.edu. 

The application and approval process takes approximately 1 month. If you think you may be eligible for WIOA funding, we recommend that you start the application process 1-2 months prior to the start of the course.
