Implementation of The Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA) has made a myriad of changes to the Housing Choice Voucher Program, causing agencies to adjust to new ways of calculating, adjusting, and determining income and eligibility.

 

NAHRO Professional Development’s HOTMA: Change in Focus training prepares agency staff for this shift as it examines HOTMA through different lenses and focuses on both the micro and macro effects it’ll have on the affordable housing industry.
