Student eligibility rules have always been confusing — but now the income side of the equation has shifted.

HOTMA revised how student financial assistance is counted as income for non-Section 8 programs, and Congress has now removed the long-standing Section 8 financial aid income provision, bringing Section 8 in line with the HOTMA standard.

Because every program still has its own student eligibility rules, confusion remains — especially in blended properties. This webinar clearly breaks down the student requirements for Section 8, LIHTC, Bond, Rural Development, HOME, RAD, and other programs, with a strong focus on what changed, what did not, and where owners continue to get tripped up. Real-world “Student Rule Challenges” will be presented and solved throughout the course.
