All you have to do is register at www.reconstruyepr.com<\/a> or in this link<\/a>. At a minimum, the participant must complete one of the 12 virtual courses available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, 128 people have been able to strengthen their skills and add value to their careers by obtaining the certification, which began last year thanks to a grant from the Puerto Rico Department of Housing <\/strong>through the funds CDBG-DR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The certification is aimed at fundraisers or professionals in the Development area of an entity; and to personnel of organizations that deal with housing issues such as the Community Housing Development Organizations<\/em> (CHDOs).
