Student rules have always been confusing - but now the income side of the equation has shifted. HOTMA revised how student financial assistance is counted as income for non-Section 8 programs, and Congress has now removed the long-standing Section 8 financial aid income provision, bringing Section 8 in line with the HOTMA standard.
Because every program still has its own student rules, confusion remains - especially in blended properties. This webinar clearly breaks down the student requirements for Section 8, LIHTC, Bond, Rural Development, HOME, RAD, and other programs, with a strong focus on what changed, what did not, and where owners continue to get tripped up. Real-world “Student Rule Challenges” will be presented and solved throughout the course.
Who Should Attend
If your role involves determining eligibility, calculating income, processing certifications, or updating policies impacted by HOTMA, this webinar is essential to keeping your student rules accurate and audit-ready.
