HOW IT WORKS
The Basic Cost: An annual Partnership fee.
On the Consortium Application/Agreement, agencies can choose from the two plan options described below.
For Plan A:
Partners receive a 17 – 30% reduction in hourly fees for extended technical assistance, small group training, policy and procedure customization, and other services. Partners also receive waived annual license fees for web-based services such as Diamond RIM® and EZ Reasonable Rent Determination®.
For Plan B:
Partners receive even lower rates and fee waivers than Plan A, but pay an additional monthly retainer fee to establish a “bank” of technical assistance hours. These hours can be used for any service Nelrod offers. Agencies may buy 3, 4 or 5 hours monthly depending upon the number of public housing units they have and may carry a balance of hours for up to 2 years.
