HOTMA-Ready Tenant Selection Plan for Blended HUD & LIHTC Properties

Managing a property with both HUD funding and Section 42 LIHTC requirements means navigating overlapping  — and sometimes conflicting — rules. HUD requires a Tenant Selection Plan that can be shared with applicants that clearly defines the specific requirements for the property.  Getting this right has always been challenging, and HOTMA has raised the bar even higher. This template is designed to help you meet those requirements with clarity and confidence

US Housing Consultants has created an easy-to-use Tenant Selection Plan (TSP) template to guide you through building a HOTMA-ready plan for properties with both HUD and LIHTC funding. It provides a clear, compliant foundation without starting from scratch. The document explains eligibility and selection criteria in plain language while meeting HUD’s tenant-facing requirements.

How Does This Template Help with HOTMA?

The Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) changed how income, assets, and eligibility are handled and explaining these changes to applicants can provide to be tricky at times.
