Accurate income and deduction calculations are foundational to compliance in HUD Multifamily housing programs. Property owners and management agents must follow detailed federal regulations when determining annual income, allowable deductions, and Total Tenant Payment (TTP). Errors in these calculations can lead to incorrect rent determinations, subsidy billing issues, tenant disputes, and findings during a Management and Occupancy Review (MOR). This training focuses on helping housing professionals understand how allowable deductions affect adjusted income and rent calculations, ensuring compliance with HUD requirements and proper subsidy administration.

This 60 minute webinar provides a practical walkthrough of how allowable deductions affect income calculations and tenant rent in HUD Multifamily programs, including updates happening as a result of HOTMA. Participants will gain clarity on the five allowable deductions, how each applies to different household situations, and how these deductions affect Total Tenant Payment calculations. Real-world examples and calculation scenarios will demonstrate how to properly apply HUD rules when processing certifications and recertifications, helping staff avoid common compliance errors.
