The Texas Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (TX NAHRO) and the TX NAHRO Board of Directors are highly anticipating the debut of the new Maintenance Training Trailer. The training trailer will be unveiled at the TX NAHRO Fall Conference at the Embassy Suites Conference Center, 1001 E. McCarty Lane, San Marcos, TX 78666 at 5:30 p.m.

The training trailer is the first of its kind in Texas to be used as a portable training station for maintenance staff. The trailer will provide targeted maintenance training in an off-site environment. It will be used at public housing agencies statewide and for customized training at conferences.

James Hargrove, President and CEO of the Housing Authority of the City of Austin, says, “The training trailer provides a truly unique training opportunity. It will make training much easier and efficient by providing a hands-on approach to share across the state of Texas.”

The 33 foot mobile laboratory is constructed to simulate a functioning apartment unit. Maintenance staff will be able to take advantage of this visual classroom to practice the same electrical, plumbing, and carpentry repairs they would encounter inside of an apartment.
