Build expertise. Reduce risk. Lead with confidence.

Section 504 compliance requires more than understanding regulations. It requires the ability to translate complex legal requirements into effective policies, accessible programs, and practical solutions that protect residents and reduce organizational risk.

The Section 504 Coordinator Certification™, offered by Balanced Housing Solutions in partnership with the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), is a comprehensive, 10-course professional certification designed to equip affordable housing professionals with the knowledge, tools, and practical skills needed to lead Section 504 compliance efforts.

Through expert-led instruction, real-world case studies, interactive discussions, and applied assessments, participants will develop competencies in reasonable accommodations, physical and program accessibility, effective communication, grievance procedures, self-evaluations, and ongoing compliance monitoring.

Participants will learn not only what Section 504 requires, but how to implement those requirements within their organizations. Professional certification is awarded upon successful completion of program and assessment requirements
