In preparation for the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard elevation requirements that go into effect Jan. 1, 2025, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is offering a training webinar to answer questions and prepare home builders for these changes.

The webinar, Minimum Property Standards in Special Flood Hazard Areas, will take place Dec. 17 at 1 p.m. ET.

This free, virtual training will provide home builders and other interested parties with an overview of the new construction requirements for site-built, FHA-insured residential structures. Attendees will learn about the new Minimum Property Standards requirement for one- to four-unit homes or units in condominium projects or legal phases concerning the lowest floor in newly constructed structures located within special flood hazard areas. There will be a question-and-answer session at the end of the training.

Attendees must register by Dec. 16, 2024.
