ABOUT THE EVENT
Designed for housing professionals navigating HUD 4350.3 compliance, this training addresses exactly what must be verified and how to properly document it. This session offers a focused breakdown of HUD Multifamily verification requirements before and after HOTMA implementation. Participants will learn what must be verified, how to properly document it, and how to avoid common compliance errors. Key updates include HOTMA’s revised verification hierarchy, streamlined reexamination rules, and changes to EIV report usage and timing. The training also covers when self-certification, means-tested documentation, and oral verifications are acceptable—and how to document them correctly. Attendees will leave with practical tools to ensure their files meet HUD standards and withstand audit scrutiny.
