The National Development Council's (NDC) enhanced Housing Development Finance Professional (HDFP) Certification Program is a demanding four-course training series that focuses on the financing of affordable housing projects in real communities. The HDFP certification program's curriculum explores the development process, financial analysis techniques, and the structuring and negotiating skills needed to successfully develop and finance affordable single-family and multi-family housing.
These skills are taught within the context of case studies based on actual affordable housing development deals which NDC's professionals have structured and implemented for clients in urban and rural communities across the country. Housing projects are structured using a variety of financing programs.
