September 4, 2024 | New York, NY – CSH (Corporation for Supportive Housing) proudly announces that the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) has accredited the CSH Supportive Housing Training Center. This prestigious accreditation allows enrollees to obtain Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for all live webinars upon satisfactory completion of training courses.
“Achieving IACET accreditation reaffirms our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest training standards in the supportive housing field. We are dedicated to equipping the field with the quality training they need to make a lasting impact in our communities,” said Lisa Sepahi, Training Center Director at CSH. “The accreditation acknowledges that our training programs meet the highest international standards, ensuring exceptional quality and value for the supportive housing field.”
IACET is an internationally recognized accrediting body that develops standards for continuing education and training. CSH’s Supportive Housing Training Center completed a rigorous review and application process to receive the accreditation. The accreditation ensures that CSH’s training policies have been vetted and benchmarked against the ANSI/IACET Standard of Continuing Education and Training.
The CSH Supportive Housing Training Center is the nation’s largest nonprofit provider of training programs solely focused on helping professionals gain knowledge and skills to develop and operate high-quality supportive housing. It offers more than 200 live and on-demand courses covering a wide range of topics relevant to professionals at all levels, including those with lived experience in affordable housing, supportive housing, community and health services, homelessness, child welfare, aging, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and justice sectors. Also, the CSH Supportive Housing Training Center oversees the CSH Quality Supportive Housing Standards initiative and the biennial national Supportive Housing Summit.
“Those serving individuals who benefit from supportive housing are essential front-line workers. CSH aims to equip them with the practical and resilience-building skills they need to thrive in their challenging roles. We are thrilled to have achieved the IACET distinction, demonstrating CSH’s commitment to supporting this vital workforce,” said Deborah De Santis, President and CEO and CSH.
