Navigating the complexities of affordable housing compliance is central to Mary Beth Snyder’s role as an industry principal at Yardi. In this article, she shares insights as she addresses one of the industry’s most common and complex questions:
When can an affordable housing provider skip the lengthy process of verifying household assets and simply accept a signed self-certification form?
The simple answer is that Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties can use self‑certification, but only under defined, program‑approved circumstances.
Remember, self-certification isn’t a workaround. It’s a HUD- and IRS-acknowledged tool that helps ease the documentation burden under specific conditions. Used appropriately, it can save time while maintaining full compliance.
