HOTMA has introduced some of the most significant changes to HUD Multifamily compliance in years, and it is directly impacting how properties structure their EIV Policies and Procedures and Tenant Selection Plans (TSPs). Many existing policies are now outdated, inconsistent, or incomplete when compared to current requirements. HUD is expecting alignment between what your policies say, what your staff actually does, and how files are documented—and that gap is where findings are happening.
This session provides a practical, step-by-step guide to updating and aligning EIV Policies and Procedures and Tenant Selection Plans under HOTMA. It focuses on how these documents must work together, what specific language and requirements must be included, and how to ensure that onsite practices match written policies. Participants will learn how to build defensible, compliant documentation that holds up during MORs while also supporting day-to-day operations.
Why should you attend:
If your policies were written pre-HOTMA and have not been fully overhauled, there is a very good chance they are setting you up for findings. This session will help you fix that before a reviewer does. You will gain clarity on what must be updated, how detailed your policies really need to be, and how to avoid the classic compliance trap where your documents say one thing and your staff does another. Bottom line: this is about protecting your property, your funding, and your sanity during reviews.
