Rural Development & HOTMA Compliance: A Practical Deep Dive

With HOTMA now fully implemented, Rural Development (RD) properties are navigating some of the most significant compliance changes in years. From updated income calculations to new asset rules, verification standards, and clarified policies across multiple chapters of HB-2-3560, staying compliant requires more than surface-level understanding - it demands practical, real-world guidance.

In this comprehensive deep dive, industry expert Joe Henry breaks down the full scope of HOTMA’s impact on Rural Development housing programs. You’ll learn how RD has aligned with HUD’s HOTMA framework, what has changed in application and certification processes, and how to confidently apply the new requirements in day-to-day operations.

This session goes beyond Chapter 6. It examines the broader compliance landscape, highlights common problem areas, and provides actionable steps to reduce errors, streamline file reviews, and maintain program integrity.

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

• Understand the major HOTMA-driven changes adopted across RD regulations and handbook revisions.
