Understanding HOME - Webinar
2025-02-04 10:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
HUD has published the Final Rule for HOME which has significant impact on the management of HOME projects. It will be discussed during this session.
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.

About the Speaker:
Glen Garrity is a retired police detective and a recognized expert in identity theft prevention. He began his law enforcement career in 1998 with the Newport Beach Police Department (California), where he served for 21 years in multiple capacities, including patrol, traffic investigations, and burglary. Glen also held roles as a training officer, earned the title of master officer, and was honored with three Medals of Merit—two of which recognized his actions in preventing a suicide attempt.
In 2008, Glen assisted in a major investigation that led to the arrest of eight individuals involved in an identity theft ring. The suspects used counterfeit credit cards and matching fake driver’s licenses to steal over $1.1 million in merchandise. The case was ultimately closed thanks to a retailer that had trained its staff to detect fraudulent IDs.
Motivated by the impact of this case, Glen founded G2 Safeguards, a company dedicated to combating identity theft. Since then, Glen has traveled all over the United States to teach thousands of civilians the skills to recognize a fake ID to stop fraud crimes.
