Welcome to the
City of Brotherly Love!
P
hiladelphia, the largest city in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, is the fifth most populous city
in the USA. It is also among the top three cities
listed as “52 Places to Go in 2015.” There’s a lot to do
in Philadelphia - a Greek word that literally means
“City of Brotherly Love.” Did you know that some of the
NeighborWorks Training Institutes (NTI) courses have
field trips where you will learn and get to experience
some of the city’s unique neighborhoods?
Recent infrastructure improvements have been
dramatic in this city of constant change. Who knew that
Philadelphia is becoming the greenest city in the U.S.?
This is in large part to the impressive city-owned urban
park system.
The City of Brotherly Love offers an authentic mix of
culture and history with enough character and charisma
for everyone. During a break or once your day is done,
take a stroll to Center City and indulge in local eateries
and tax-free shopping. If you’re a history buff, you practically can’t get more concentrated U.S. history anyplace
else: Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall (where
the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776),
and the U.S. Constitution a little more than a decade
later. Philly also enjoys its status as one of the nation’s
most sports-crazed cities, with nine professional teams
including the Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, and the Flyers.
Philadelphians love the nightlife, and the city was voted
as one of the Top 10 Nightlife Scenes in the nation by US
News & World Report.

The paths to understanding American history and community all converge in Philadelphia. Where else will you
get to rediscover the birthplace of American democracy
and at the same time, grow your career at the NTI?

atch or read the latest news report
and you’ll hear that the economy is
on an upswing—unemployment rates
are dropping, wages are rising and stability is
returning to the housing market. Once again,
opportunities for growth are abundant. While
much of the nation exhales, some are reflecting on lessons learned; and sadly, others are
still struggling for financial security.
Are you aware of ground breaking techniques
that encourage financial resilience to
safeguard against unexpected life events or
plan for the future? Do you have the tools and
resources to engage people in financial capability services at critical life moments? Join us
for a focused, day-long “deep dive” into the
latest tools and approaches in the critical area
of financial capability. Hear leading practitioners share the results of programs designed
to address real household challenges. Gain a

new perspective on the documented impact
personal finance has on nearly every aspect of
one’s life: decision-making, housing, education
and health. If your desire is to help people not
only solve financial problems as they arise, but
become – in a truly sustainable way – financially resilient, this event is a must-attend.
Be a part of the conversation on how to
engage consumers at critical “life moments”—
paying for college, entering the workforce,
having a baby, or buying a home. From the
middle-income earner living paycheck-topaycheck to the student anxious to begin
building for the future yet burdened with
student loan debt, these moments often lead
people to examine their financial situation
and look for tools and programs to help them
reach their goals and improve their overall
financial well-being.
Recent research from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau concluded
that to have a sense of financial well-being, people need to have:
• Control over day-to-day,
month-to-month finances
• Means to meet their
financial goals
• Capacity to absorb a
financial shock
• Financial freedom to make
the choices that allow them to
enjoy life
TO FINANCIAL RESILIENCE
During the symposium we will explore a myriad of approaches to
building pathways to financial resilience and provide you with:
• A deeper understanding of how American households manage
their day-to-day finances and the implications for policy- and
program-planning to serve these customers.
• A comprehensive look at the unique “life moments” that compel
people to question their financial capability. Hear from innovators
who are using these touchstones to design programs and services
to impactfully meet people’s financial needs.
• The opportunity to speak directly with leading practitioners
whose programs are breaking new ground in serving people
with financial capability services. Learn about the innovative
and effective resources and tools available to help strengthen
financial capability programs.
• Networking with regional and national peers offering financial
capability tools and techniques across a variety of sectors.
Come prepared to examine your organization’s current financial
capability program – or ability to effectively launch this in-demand
service. Be inspired by compelling success stories. And leave with
a results-driven action plan. We’re excited about making a difference in your career, your program and your larger perspective on
financial capability.
This day has been
uniquely designed for:
• Executive directors/CEOs
• Program managers and counselors
• Financial coaches and counselors
• Foundation and corporate funders
• Municipal, state and federal
government staff
• Community development practitioners
and consultants
• Community leaders and organizers

AH183 Supportive Housing: Developing Solutions and Supporting Residents
This course, designed by the Corporation for Supportive Housing, concentrates on funding specific to the development of supportive housing and reviews different models of providing supports to residents. It will look at increasing
housing opportunities for the homeless, persons with chronic mental illness, and homeless Veterans as well as other
special needs populations.
AH280 Health and Housing - Connecting to the Health Care System for New Partnerships,
New Opportunities
This two-day course is designed for those interested in understanding new opportunities to build healthier communities. The course will provide an in-depth understanding of the connection between housing, community development
and health sectors – using language that resonates with both the health and housing sectors. Research demonstrating the impact of housing and other social determinants of health will be reviewed. Potential tools to catalyze
cross-sector collaboration will be identified. To facilitate partnerships with the health care sector, attendees will
learn about financing and key business drivers in the healthcare system. Innovative programming at the nexus of
health, housing, and community development will be highlighted. Multiple case studies from different regions of the
country will show successful models and best practices. Finally, the course will describe evaluation methods and
potential metrics.

AH248 Inclusionary Housing: Make it Work in Your Community
Over 500 jurisdictions across the US have adopted inclusionary housing policies. Meanwhile, campaigns for more
and stronger programs are still gathering momentum. So what is all the buzz about? What are the goals of inclusionary housing programs? Have they proven successful? This introductory session will give you a solid understanding of
Inclusionary Housing policies and programs. You will learn from best practices by dissecting case study examples of
real programs. And because there is no one-size-fits-all inclusionary policy, you will consider how market conditions
and other factors can be taken into account in selecting program goals and design elements, resulting in distinctly
different inclusionary housing programs. Then you will apply your new expertise by designing a new Inclusionary
housing program for one strictly theoretical (but isn’t it awfully familiar?) jurisdiction.

CB235 Community Engagement Leadership, Supervision and Management
Community engagement managers have a unique set of challenges. Leadership, initiative and the ability to build
internal partnerships are critical. Accountability and outcome measurement can be less than straightforward.
Convincing organizational leadership of the value-added or return on investment requires skillful “managing
up,” and building internal and external organizational alliances is critical to strategic positioning. In this session,
you will learn techniques for addressing each of these challenges. Through interactive exercises and sharing of
experiences, you will explore strategies to find the best fit for your organization and its circumstances. This class
is for senior community engagement professionals and anyone who manages community engagement programs,
and is seeking to optimize resources for maximum and sustainable impact.

CB225 Pathways to Self-Reliant Communities: Building on Our Assets
Self-reliant communities have the internal strength to manage negative pressures and trends, and the organized
capacity to advance democratically-defined empowerment, growth, and development objectives. These strengths
and capacities are created through the community’s ability to focus on its assets –the gifts of individual citizens, the
capacities of neighborhood associations and community-based organizations, and the often hidden strengths of
local institutions as the foundation of community building. The course utilizes case-studies and practical exercises
to provide participants with knowledge and skills to apply Asset Based Community Development approaches and
techniques to community organizing, neighborhood revitalization, and the design and implementation of community
services. We’ll emphasize strategies for on-going identification and development of community assets, and to make
the asset-based approach an integral part of your organization’s culture.
CB243 Intergenerational Community Building
The promise of intergenerational community building lies in the intersection of four important current trends: a
growing older population that seeks opportunities for connection and contribution; a “racial generation gap” in
which the majority of older adults are white and an increasing percentage of youth are African-American, Latino,
Asian-American and Native American; the need to strengthen the social compact that supports and connects people
across the life span; growing recognition that community change requires new, more comprehensive approaches, not
the isolated intervention of individual organizations.
This two-day, experiential workshop is based on lessons learned from Communities for All Ages, a national, intergenerational community building initiative developed by the Intergenerational Center, Temple University, and currently
operating in 20 sites around the country. The workshop explores the potential of intergenerational strategies to
improve the well-being of all generations in a community, increase social connection, and promote lifelong civic
engagement. Participants will leave with tangible strategies and skills for:
• Building new organizational alliances and collaborations around critical community concerns;
• Engaging residents of multiple generations in decision making and other leadership roles;
• Creating places, practices and policies that support intergenerational interaction and connection; and
• Employing a lifespan perspective to address local issues such as housing, economic development, health, safety,
education, the environment and family support.

ED127 Transit-Oriented Development
Transit-oriented development is an increasingly popular approach to sustainable community development through
the creation of compact, walkable communities that provide a mix of affordable housing and retail centered around a
transit station. A 2005 national TOD market study by the Center for Transit-Oriented Development found the demand
for compact housing near transit is likely to more than double by 2025 as a result of changing demographics and
housing preferences. This course uses case studies and site visits with practitioners and leaders involved in local
community-based TOD projects to help participants understand the value of transit-related development, identify
challenges and develop the skills to plan a TOD project, including determining feasibility and sources of financing.

NR253 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: How Urban Design Can Make or Break Your
Revitalization Strategy
Bad urban design, like its consequences, is obvious. Good design, however, often goes unnoticed and even
more frequently discounted as a critical element of effective revitalization—a “pie in the sky,” good thing
to have if only we didn’t have more important things to worry about. In this class we examine urban design
as tool for revitalization, for building community and ensuring a safe public environment. We’ll explore how
urban design reflects social and economic imperatives, and cultural values. We’ll review urban design models
to understand their positive and negative impacts on the form of cities and neighborhoods, and use the
knowledge in a case study to identify the negative consequences of bad design and to develop design-based
strategies for revitalization.

NR115 Developing High-Impact Neighborhood Revitalization Strategies
This is a course about aligning specific actions to achieve a neighborhood vision. It is designed for practitioners,
policy makers, and funders who want to achieve greater neighborhood impact through their revitalization work. This
course provides a practical approach to neighborhood change that acknowledges and works with market forces to
attract the kinds of investments neighborhoods need. The course features a neighborhood site visit and hands-on
work assessing neighborhood conditions, developing outcomes and strategies, and planning around potential
obstacles to achieving change. This course has a heavy emphasis on implementation and participants will take
home useful tools and resources that can inform their work on the ground.
NR118 Working with Tenants and Small Landlords to Revitalize the Neighborhood
With a national homeownership rate of nearly 65%, in the average neighborhood at least 1 in 3 residences are
occupied by a renter. In fact, market and other forces can cause rental housing investment to be concentrated in
certain neighborhoods more than others, sometimes creating significant market and social stresses. To successfully
sustain or create a healthy neighborhood, revitalization strategies must pay close attention to rental housing. This
course explores a variety of complimentary strategies to ensure a strong rental market and a well-kept rental housing
stock that makes a positive contribution to neighborhood livability and aesthetic standards. Join us in exploring how
to work with landlords, especially small investors, to build their capacity to successfully manage their property for
a solid return on investment, to plan for and finance physical improvements, and to become management partners
with their tenants. The course also examines strategies that help tenants become engaged stakeholders in the neighborhood by empowering them to partner with landlords, neighborhood organizations and public agencies, and, when
necessary, to utilize enforcement mechanisms to ensure a healthy and safe housing and community environment.
NR121 Measuring the Impacts of Your Revitalization Work
Maybe you know the neighborhood is looking better, more people are getting involved in community activities, and
you have a sense that things are getting better, but how do you really know you are achieving the results you intend?
Are you able to leverage your experience, to learn from your work to improve the design and implementation of your
programs and strategies? This is a new, fully integrated evaluation and measurement course. You’ll learn about logic
models, theories of change, participatory evaluation, and evaluation design and implementation—including assessment of your internal technical and financial capacity for evaluation. In a laboratory setting we will: define and learn
to use appropriate indicators for particular goals and intervention strategies; understand and design data collection
methods and tools such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, and direct observation; and learn to identify and use
appropriate secondary data sources. Practical exercises will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the
dynamic relationship between data collection methodologies, and data integrity and reliability. We will also explore
the different data analysis and interpretation needs of different audiences. The laboratory will also provide you with
the opportunity to practice interpreting and presenting results to specific audiences with particular interests. This
course, NR121, is offered jointly with CB200.

certified. Perhaps you want to learn ways to convince your organization to offer sustainable construction services,

LE374 Risk Management for Loan Funds in an Uncertain Environment
Designed for CEOs, CFOs, portfolio and risk managers, and other senior management of CDCs, CDFIs, and nonprofit
loan funds, this advanced course focuses on risk management -- post-closing -- at the organizational level, the loan
portfolio level, and the loan level. Participants will identify risk factors common to many loan portfolios and unique to
their own portfolio; will learn techniques for quantifying, reporting and monitoring risks; and will develop skills in mitigating risks and reducing losses. Examples will be drawn from small business, real estate development, and home
mortgage loan funds, but the principles discussed will be applicable to all loan funds. The course will emphasize best
practices in building a risk management system, including organizational structures, loan policies to control risk,
process mapping, documentation standards, insurance, risk rating systems, loan loss reserves, and loan covenants.

How to Bring NeighborWorks
Training to Your Community
Organizations can request a NeighborWorks place-based
training event in their community with one or more courses
selected from our course catalog. Fees are based on
the courses and number of training days — significantly
lower than comparable training market rates, and the
cost of sending multiple individuals to a Training Institute
with travel expenses. Services can be scaled up or back
according to your specific needs: from simply sending
a trainer and materials for a single course, to building a
special week-long event with multiple courses and meeting
planning services and meals.
For more information and to fill out a request for
Place-Based Training form, go to NeighborWorks.org/
placebasedtraining.
How to Learn at a Place-Based Training Event
NeighborWorks offers place-based training events throughout the year and across the country at the request of major
partners like Wells Fargo, state HFAs, HUD and the NFMC
(National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling) program. In
some cases events are invitation-only, and other events
are open to participants who meet certain admission
requirements (e.g., the participant’s organization is HUDapproved, or the organization is a 501(c) (3)). Typically,
training events are scholarship-based — anyone who meets
the eligibility requirements can apply for a scholarship,
which often provides free tuition and lodging.
To see a current list of place-based training events
and to apply for a scholarship, if you qualify, visit us at
NeighborWorks.org/scholarships.
