Compliance Training
General Training Policies
The Department regularly conducts training sessions for the Housing Tax Credit Program (HTC), the Bond Program (BOND), and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) to ensure compliance with all program requirements. These training sessions teach program regulations and will help all individuals ensure compliance when implementing Department funded programs. The main types of available training sessions are Property Compliance and Income Determination. Descriptions of each type of training are included below.
Attendance Certificates will either be presented at the end of the training class or mailed to attendees if not provided on the training date. Attendees must stay for the entire training session to receive a certificate.
