Housing Credit Compliance
Functions of the Division
The Division of Multi-Family Programs is responsible for conducting annual reviews of properties awarded housing credits as well as tri-annual on-site reviews of the property. Owners are required to maintain compliance with federal and state program requirements for at least 30 years. To determine compliance owners submit annual self-certifications of tenant information via THDA's internet-based reporting system, Housing Credit Management System (HCMS). The Division reviews information submitted to determine compliance. All noncompliance is reported to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") on Form 8823: Low-Income Housing Credit Agencies Report of Noncompliance or Building Disposition. Noncompliance is cured using the methodology described in the 8823 Guidebook issued by the IRS.
