The Community Revitalization Training Center (CRTC) is a national training and technical assistance center for community development practitioners. Its primary function is to provide practical training and technical assistance opportunities for housing rehab and community development professionals. We are pleased to present our website with the most current course schedule and descriptions.

CRTC currently offers training courses in single and multi-family program design, finance, new and rehabilitation construction, program management, and home ownership.

These courses were designed with input from HUD field offices, state and local government program staff, and housing practitioners. Our interactive style and small class size encourage participation and allow attention to individual participant questions. CRTC uses a variety of training techniques, including vidoes, slides and overhead presentations, group exercises, and discussions. Every participant receives an extensive training manual and a certificate of course completion.

CRTC is looking forward to working with you and providing the quality of services you have come to expect. Please tell us what additional courses you would like us to offer or just let us know how we can serve you better. Contact us at 1-800-282-2782 or email us at crtc@crtc.com

CRTC Training and technical assistance are the products of extensive research combined with the experience, ideas, and suggestions of rehabilitation practitioners throughout the country. Participants learn how to improve the quality and productivity of their programs, how to work effectively with the private sector, and how to adapt innovative approaches from other areas into their local programs. Our interactive training courses stress the efficient and effective use of public and private resources to promote the supply of affordable housing using rehabilitation and new construction.

CRTC's creativity and felixibility allow the design and development of technical assistance, working development sessions, consultations, and customized training courses on the full range of community development issues and problems. Our extensive library of training modules may be combined with our current course modules to provide customized training. We will work with you to design the type of assistance that is best suited to you at a reasonable cost.

CRTC conducts courses in response to requests for training to meet local or regional needs. CRTC will provide training courses in any of our content areas or will work with you to develop a workshop or seminar that meets your needs. To arrange for a course, contact the CRTC office at 1-800-282-2782 or email us at crtc@crtc.com

CRTC's individually designed technical assistance covers all areas of community development, including comprehensive planning and evaluation procedures, housing rehabilitation, housing development and management consultation, each designed to meet your identified needs. Conducted in your local area, CRTC technical assistance addresses your housing stock, your programs, and your issues. The technical skills of housing practitioners combined with the expertise of professional trainers result in a cost effective and practical alternative to out-of-town training.
