Building Internal Capacity for HUD Income & Asset Rule Changes
HOTMA Training is part of KBL Housing Consultants’ Training & Capacity Building services. This training is designed to help housing authorities, owners, and management teams prepare for and implement the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) changes impacting income determinations, asset calculations, deductions, and recertification processes.
HOTMA represents one of the most significant programmatic shifts in years. Successful implementation requires more than policy updates—it requires staff understanding, operational alignment, and consistent execution across sites and programs. KBL’s HOTMA Training focuses on practical readiness and real-world application.
Purpose of HOTMA Training
HOTMA compliance risk often arises during transition periods when new rules are misunderstood or applied inconsistently. Without structured training, organizations may experience:
- Confusion around updated income and asset definitions
- Inconsistent application of new thresholds and exclusions
- Documentation gaps during certifications and re-certifications
- Increased findings during reviews and audits
- Staff uncertainty when explaining changes to residents
HOTMA Training helps teams build a shared understanding of the new requirements and apply them confidently and consistently.
