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, documenting, and calculating income, effects of combining LIHTC HOME on income limits, rents compliance, noncompliance, and concludes with a quiz to find out what you have learned.
