The HOME Compliance Specialist (HCS) program is designed to help students become proficient in qualifying applicants for residency, balancing the requirements for specific unit types, and assuring compliance with their Participating Jurisdiction’s reporting policies.

  • Methods and requirements for calculating a household’s Annual Gross Income
  • How to balance multiple layers of compliance – especially for properties blended with Section 8 and/or the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
  • The difference between High HOME units and Low HOME units, and the features of fixed units versus floating units
  • How to maintain a fiscally and operationally viable property over the long-term while staying in compliance with HOME’s objectives and requirements.
