As HUD had delayed implementation of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) multiple times, implementation had presented challenges for state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) agencies and owners/agents. The webinar explored the basic types of HOTMA strategies adopted by state agencies and how owners/agents could effectively respond to each.
Whether participants were in a state that had fully implemented HOTMA months earlier, one that had required them to wait, or somewhere in between, the webinar discussed the best approaches to take. Speakers also covered lessons learned from a large state that had implemented HOTMA in 2024.
