Subject: Community Development Academy

Are you looking for state-of-the art, hands-on training in the field of
community building?

The University of Missouri Community Development Extension Program offers a
series of three courses called the Community Development Academy. Each of the
three courses is an intensive, experiential, five-day course that explores
ideas and develops practical skills for effectively involving and empowering
local citizens and leaders in community-based efforts.

Course 1, Building Communities from the Grassroots, introduces participants to
the basics of community development and deals with issues such as the purpose
of community development, action planning and working with volunteers.  The
course also gives participants a practical experience in the state of Franklin
that allows them to apply the skills acquired in the course.

Course 2, Empowering Communities for the Future, deals with the professional
application of community-based development and topics ranging from
Understanding the Local Economy, Local Food Systems and Governance and Civil
Society.  Participants also have the opportunity to apply knowledge from the
course in the Bedford Falls Experience.

Course 3, Creating Capacity for Dynamic Communities, allows participants
exposure to current concepts and methods in Community Development, as well as
topics of Change, Ethics and Sustainability and Community Conflict and
Intervention.  

Courses 1 and 3are being offered September 28–October 3, 2003 at The Mercy
Center, St. Louis, Missouri.

Courses 1 and 2are being offered March 21-26, 2004 at The Mercy Center, St.

Subject: variables used to define households with worst case rental housing needs

Does anyone know which variables in the AHS are used to calculate "worst case
rental housing needs" according to the HUD defintion (especially the last
criterion):

- have incomes below 50 percent of AMI
- spent more than 50 percent of income on rent, or live in severely inadequate
housing,
- are not assisted by Federal, state, or local housing assistance programs.

Thanks much.
