CAA Just Changed the Game: HOTMA Readiness Training for HUD Multifamily Teams

Available In:

  • OnDemand Course
  • MP3 Download

With the Consolidated Appropriations Act now finalized, HUD has stable federal funding — and that means one thing for HUD Multifamily owners, managers, and compliance teams: implementation pressure and monitoring activity will accelerate.

HOTMA is no longer a “future change.” It is quickly becoming a real compliance trigger that can directly impact tenant eligibility, rent calculations, deductions, asset verification, and income determinations.

A single misstep can lead to HUD findings, repayment demands, tenant disputes, and major operational risk.

This refresher webinar is designed specifically for HUD Multifamily property staff, compliance specialists, management companies, and owners who want clarity, confidence, and real-world guidance—not confusing regulations.

We will break down HOTMA in a practical, step-by-step way, highlighting the most misunderstood rules and the errors most likely to get flagged during audits and reviews.

If your team is still relying on outdated assumptions or “how we’ve always done it,” this training is essential.

Join us to protect your property, strengthen your compliance program, and ensure your HOTMA readiness is solid before enforcement tightens further.

Because once monitoring increases—mistakes become expensive
