There are student eligibility requirements applicable to each of the four major housing programs, LIHTC, HUD, Rural Development, and the HOME Program. These requirements affect whether a household is eligible to occupy a unit or receive rental assistance, and also affects how the treatment of student income determines a household's annual income.
Understanding the student rules is a critical component in determining household eligibility. Whether you are working on site or in the compliance department, being able to correctly determine student eligibility is key to protecting a project's funding.
