LIHTC Part II goes beyond the fundamentals to equip property managers and compliance staff with the practical knowledge and confidence needed to manage Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties with precision. Whether you're newer to the LIHTC program and ready to level up, or a seasoned professional looking for a solid refresher, this one-hour session delivers targeted, real-world guidance you can put to work immediately.
We'll unpack the processes, requirements, and best practices that keep your property compliant, your files audit-ready, and your team operating with clarity and purpose.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Calculate resident income eligibility with confidence — walk through income calculation methodologies, understand what counts (and what doesn't), and complete certifications accurately the first time.
- Navigate recertifications and file reviews like a pro — learn what compliance really looks like in practice, how to prepare your files before an audit ever arrives, and what reviewers expect to find when they open your records.
- Build operational habits that protect your property — understand the critical role that consistent recordkeeping and timely reporting play in maintaining good standing in the LIHTC program and setting your property up for long-term success.
Who Should Attend: This session is ideal for property managers, leasing staff, compliance coordinators, and site teams who work with LIHTC properties and want to strengthen their compliance skills — whether they're just getting started or brushing up on best practices.
