HOTMA Changed the Rules for USDA RD Compliance. Do You Know What Applies to You?

The Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) has reshaped how eligibility determinations work across affordable housing programs. But here's the catch for USDA Rural Development professionals: not every HOTMA provision applies to RD. Some do. Some don't. And in a few areas, USDA guidance is still catching up.

Join us October 14 for a 4-hour session, ACE HOTMA Compliance for USDA Rural Development, led by Gary Kirkman, VP of Compliance Training at US Housing Consultants. Gary will break down what's changed, what hasn't, and where RD professionals still need to watch for updated guidance.

What You'll Learn

  • How household size determinations have changed

  • Updates to income inclusions and exclusions

  • Updates to asset inclusions and exclusions

  • New rules for imputing asset income

  • Changes to adjusted income calculations
