The HOME program is unique. While some of its rules sound a little like Section 8 rules and others sound a little like tax credit rules, HOME compliance works very differently from both of those programs. So whether you are dealing only with HOME or working on a project that combines HOME with tax credits or Section 8, understanding the HOME program is essential.

This course covers:

• HOME funding
• Low HOME and High HOME Income limits and rents
• “Fixed” versus “Floating” HOME units
• Leases
• Inspections
• Qualifying households
• Recertification requirements
• Calculating rent at recertification
• Effects of combining LIHTC HOME on income limits and rents

This class offers 1.5 hours of continuing education credits.
