The new Affordable Housing Program Resource Manual is now available.
OHFA has developed a new resource manual for the affordable housing industry. The manual will allow you to compare and comply with multiple housing program rules. When reconciling program requirements, it is important to understand the difference between federal requirements and those required by OHFA and/or the HOME Participating Jurisdiction (PJ). The manual provides regulation summaries for almost 40 program rules from student eligibility, effective dates of certifications, verification methods, and more.
