The Building Foundations Program is designed to provide flexible, accessible training for emerging and mid-level project managers involved in affordable housing development. The program includes drop-in training sessions that address key topics in affordable housing development, and a Clinic Cohort series for 8-10 committed project managers seeking deeper, hands-on learning and peer support.
