HOTMA Essentials for Rural Development (LMS Course)

The Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act has substantially changed how eligibility determinations are conducted for affordable housing programs, including USDA Rural Development Program. However, not all HOTMA provisions apply to the RD program, and it is crucial for RD professionals to understand which provisions do apply to RD, which do not, and where additional guidance is needed from the USDA.

In this two-hour webinar, Gary Kirkman, Director of Compliance Training, will cover the aspects of HOTMA that apply to the RD program.

Topics include:

• Changes to determining household size

• Changes to Income inclusions and exclusions

• Changes to Asset inclusion and exclusions

• Changes to Imputing Asset Income

• Changes to Adjusted Income
