Industries
Whether you oversee building construction for a small rural agency or lead capital improvements for a major metropolitan housing authority, Level Best helps you strengthen the people responsible for delivering your projects.
Public housing authorities
Housing authorities need people who understand more than the fundamentals of construction. Capital projects can involve planning and needs assessment, procurement, contract administration, documentation, inspections, funding requirements, project closeout, and recordkeeping. Staff need to understand not only what needs to happen, but how their role fits into the larger project lifecycle. Level Best turns those responsibilities into practical, accessible training designed around the realities of public housing.
Level Best complements your agency's existing policies, procedures, HUD guidance, and other role-specific training by providing practical professional development your staff can access throughout the year.
Management & Organization
A successful capital program depends on more than one experienced employee. Your organization needs a team that understands the process, knows what good project management looks like, and can carry that knowledge forward from one project to the next. Level Best gives Executive Directors, capital program leaders, department directors, and managers a scalable way to develop that capacity.
Give employees a shared understanding of the project lifecycle, terminology, expectations, and fundamental processes behind public housing capital work. Instead of relying solely on knowledge passed from one employee to another, establish a common training foundation your team can return to.
Experienced construction and capital program professionals eventually change roles, retire, or leave the organization. Level Best helps you invest in the employees who will take on greater responsibility next—building their knowledge before they have to learn everything in the middle of a live project.
When a new construction manager, project manager, development manager, procurement professional, or maintenance supervisor joins your team, they shouldn't have to wait months for an outside training session. With on-demand courses, employees can begin learning as part of their onboarding and revisit the material as they gain experience on the job.
Train one employee, a department, or your entire organization. Team and organization plans can give leadership a clearer view of enrollment, learner progress, and course completion while allowing employees to work through training on schedules that fit their responsibilities.
In-person training can be valuable, but much of that knowledge disappears once the session ends. Level Best gives your organization a standing training resource employees can return to—along with written summaries, checklists, templates, reference guides, and other course materials.
For PHA Staff & Employees
Level Best isn't built around abstract project management theory. The training is designed for professionals working in and around public housing capital projects—including:
Whether you're new to the role or have years of experience, Level Best helps you understand the bigger picture and become more confident in the decisions you're responsible for making.
See how planning, procurement, construction, documentation, oversight, and closeout work together rather than learning each responsibility in isolation.
Learn in the context of public housing and publicly funded capital projects, with training designed to make requirements and processes easier to understand and apply.
Know what questions to ask, what documentation matters, what to watch for as a project progresses, and when an issue needs greater attention.
Complete lessons at your own pace instead of losing days to travel or waiting for the next scheduled training. Pause when work demands your attention. Return when you're ready.
Courses include written lesson summaries, downloadable tools, checklists, knowledge checks, and other resources. Complete to earn a digital certificate.
Versatile Platform Capacity
Different agencies. The same need for capable people.
A small housing authority may have one person wearing several hats. For smaller PHAs, online self-paced training provides access to specialized compliance and management expertise without the prohibitive cost, scheduling complications, and logistical headaches of bringing an instructor on-site.
A large authority may have separate departments for capital planning, procurement, construction, maintenance, and operations. Level Best creates a repeatable training resource that can help standardize critical HUD project knowledge across teams, locations, and new-hire cohorts.
Need a tailored approach? When an off-the-shelf course isn't enough, Level Best can develop custom programs around your agency's policies, projects, compliance needs, and workforce-development goals.
Expert-led HUD Methodologies
Level Best was created by SB Thomas & Associates, a construction management and inspection firm with extensive experience working alongside public agencies. Founder and lead instructor Sheree Thomas has spent more than a decade training housing authority and public-sector professionals while continuing to work directly in construction management, capital planning, and project delivery.
That experience shapes every Level Best course. The goal isn't simply to help your employees finish training. It's to help them do the work better.
