NMA trainers Samantha Pratter and Sheryl Putnam at last year’s NMA Housing Conference
Trainer and consultant Samantha Pratter has been a part of the NMA team since 2008. As NMA’s writing supervisor, Samantha oversees publications from concept and creation through the ongoing revision process, including NMA Master Books, model policies, course books, and handbooks. She recently wrote for the NMA blog about the key differences between the project-based voucher (PBV) program and the (HCV) housing choice voucher program.
As NMA's professional development manager, Sheryl Putnam spearheaded the development of our new Blended Occupancy Management and Fundamentals of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Management certification seminars. Prior to joining Nan McKay and Associates in 2011, she managed the compliance department for a state housing finance agency, providing compliance oversight activities for the LIHTC, PBRA, and HOME programs. Sheryl will be presenting several sessions at the 2014 NMA and GoSection8 Housing Conference, including this one and How to Avoid Noncompliance: Blended Occupancy.
Ensuring Compliance and Maximizing Financial Resources
How to Avoid Noncompliance: Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and Using the 8823 Guide in LIHTC Developments
Presenters, Sheryl Putnam and Samantha Pratter
As a tax credit owner, avoiding noncompliance in the LIHTC program is a top priority. The Guide to Completing Form 8823, which is a compilation of references with explanations for applying the rules, can provide valuable information on how noncompliance in the program is identified and categorized. The session will include an overview of the Form 8823 and the accompanying guide, as well as a discussion of topics addressed in the 8823 Guide such as changes in household composition, moves, and utility allowances.
Sheryl, Samantha, and other industry experts will be available for limited free one-hour consulting sessions at the 2014 NMA and GoSection8 Housing Conference. Registered participants can sign up on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay! Register online or email sales@nanmckay.com for more information.
