The Specialist in Housing Credit Management® (SHCM®) certification has been developed by the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) especially for m anagement professionals involved with properties developed and operated und er the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The SHCM is designed by management professionals for management professionals to ensure they hav e attained the knowledge, experience and competence required to excel in th e housing credit property management industry.
As experienced afforda ble housing management professionals know, the LIHTC program is the primary production tool for creating new affordable housing properties across ever y state in the country, and it is also the most important tool for rehabili tating and preserving the nation’s existing stock of aging affordable housi ng. To maximize their careers, management professionals in the affordable h ousing industry must be able to demonstrate their experience and expertise in mastering the complex requirements of the LIHTC program. Earning your SH CM enables you to do just that.
The SHCM is offered in association wi th the National Apartment Association Education Institute (NAAEI).
De velopment of the SHCM exam was based on an exacting process established for national certification programs to ensure the exam is a reliable and psych ometrically valid testing tool for its subject matter. NAHMA retained a wel l-respected third-party consultant to assist in this process. The test ques tions on the SHCM exam will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
To earn an SHCM, candidates must:
coursework or training from an approved provide r* within two years of sitting for the SHCM exam
SHCM certifi cation is valid for one year and must be renewed annually each September 1s t. Renewal consists of six hours of housing credit specific coursework or t raining by an approved provider* per year and $165 renewal fee.
T ake advantage of the same two options listed above; however, these candidat es will need to participate in a “candidacy period” equal to the amount of time remaining to meet the two-year work experience requirement. Once the c andidacy period is satisfied, the candidate may then begin to use the SHCM certification. Candidates selecting this option may use the SHCM-c (SHCM-Ca ndidate) designation, and must pay an additional one-time non-refundable ad ministrative maintenance fee of $100 with the SHCM application. SHCM-Candid ates are required to gain their two-year work experience within three years of passing the exam; exceptions will be considered by NAHMA on a case-by-c ase basis.
