LIHTC Occupancy: From Basic to Black Belt (2 Days Workshop - 6 Hours Of Training)

The session also includes practical guidance on how HOTMA changes impact LIHTC applicant qualification during the transition period, addressing properties that have fully or partially implemented HOTMA, as well as those awaiting their state housing agency’s final implementation deadline.

Mini-quizzes and case studies are included to reinforce learning and real-world application.
