DRGR Computer-Based Workshops

Overview:
HUD is pleased to announce a series of ten (10) computer-based DRGR workshops throughout the nation. These workshops will provide NSP grantees with an opportunity to improve their understanding of DRGR concepts by walking them through the five DRGR modules and highlighting key actions such as developing action plans, reporting in the QPR, making prior-period corrections and getting the most out of the reports module. The workshop includes a combination of lecture and hands-on case study exercises, allowing participants to practice each task in the system. The workshop will also review common DRGR missteps and questions, and teach grantees how to tell their community’s NSP story. For more information on the workshop, please review the detailed project description.

Register Today!
The workshops will take place between September and November 2011 at computer lab facilities that accommodate up to 29 participants. The workshops will be conducted over the course of two days, starting at 8:30am and ending at 4:30pm each day. Please plan your travel arrangements accordingly; the training modules build on each other it is important that you be present for the two full days.
