Trainer: Helena Padellaro, Mass Housing
Description:
This 4-hour training, featuring excerpts from MassHousing’s signature TAP Management Training “Alcohol and Drugs in Housing: What to Know and What to Do” introduces intervention techniques for dealing with alcohol and drug abuse in the context of affordable housing management. Participants will examine how their own attitudes towards substance abuse affect their interactions with applicants and residents with substance abuse problems. They will learn how to recognize alcohol and drug abuse and what they can and cannot do about it, including how to appropriately intervene, how reasonable accommodation may or may not apply, and if eviction is necessary, how to properly document a case.
