Timber Lake Lodge, Grand Rapids, MN

"Greater Minnesota Housing Fund is pleased to offer a training on single family green housing rehab. Minnesota Green Communities, an initiative of Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, the Family Housing Fund, and Enterprise, has commissioned the creation of a model set of single family housing rehabilitation specifications designed to meet the national Green Communities criteria and customized for Minnesota's climate and housing stock. These model specs will be particularly helpful for developers, builders, and contractors working on rehabilitation through the statewide NSP foreclosure recovery programs.

Trainer Armand Magnelli has worked in the affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization field for over 20 years and is a nationally recognized expert on a number of topics, including healthy, energy efficient, and green housing rehab and development. This session will review all specifications within the context of its assigned Green Communities criteria category (including site, water conservation, energy efficiency, healthy living environment, and others) and will cover:

* Methods and materials
* Application of the specifications
* Selection and construction supervision of contractors implementing the specifications

The new model rehab specifications will be distributed to training registrants in advance of the workshop.

Advanced registration is required and space is limited. To register, please visit www.mngreencommunities.org and look under the What's New side bar for more information.

Registration fee: $15.
(Session is approved for 6.0 CEU credits from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.)

Please arrive by 8:30 a.m. for registration and refreshments as the session will begin promptly at 9 a.m."
