The Department of Housing and Urban Development has released several new Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) resources on HUDExchange. First is the “Sample Admin and ACOP HOTMA Policies.” This document provides brief descriptions of the discretionary policies agencies will need to create to implement sections 102 and 104 of HOTMA as well as sample language PHAs could adopt in their plans. Second, HUD has released four resources intended to be resident-facing, including:

• “HOTMA Resident Fact Sheet: Health Medical, and Childcare Deductions,”
• “HOTMA Resident Fact Sheet: Income Calculation and Reviews,”
• “HOTMA Resident Worksheet: Interim Reviews,” and
• HOTMA Resident Worksheet: Student Financial Aid.”
