UPDATE: In light of COVID-19 and the uncertainty that everyone is experiencing, NCCDA and PHRANC have decided to not reschedule the Spring 2020 conference for later this year. Our organizations reached out to our current selected hotel, as well as other options, for quotes. After receiving responses from many venues, our organizations determined that having a large conference late in the fall would not best serve our members. Instead, PHRANC will continue planning their annual Fall conference and NCCDA has CDBG and HOME Basics mini workshops in the works for September. We will reconvene together in Spring 2021. Our Treasurers will work to ensure that all conference fees paid to date are refunded. We hope everyone stays safe and continues to support your communities in this ever changing time. Please let us know if there is a way that we can help support you.
From May 20-22, 2020 the North Carolina Community Development Association (NCCDA) and the Professional Housing Rehabilitation Association of North Carolina (PHRANC) will be holding our Annual Spring Training Conference in Asheville, NC. This event provides the premier educational opportunity in NC for community development, affordable housing, and economic development professionals.
There will be four tracks of training on three days and representatives from HUD, NCHFA, NCDEQ, DOC, and USDA will be presenting agency updates or providing specialized training.
Scholarship Opportunities: Scholarships will be available for the NCCDA/PHRANC Spring 2020 Conference. Scholarships will be provided by conference sponsors. Applicants must be NCCDA or PHRANC members with dues that are up to date. Scholarships are not available for attendees from entitlement communities or for-profit companies at this time. Scholarship applications will be accepted via email to conferenceassistnc@gmail.com through Tuesday, March 31, 2020. Applications will be reviewed by NCCDA and PHRANC Presidents and scholarships will be awarded equally between the organizations. All applicants will be notified by Wednesday, April 15, 2020.
