In May 2026, A. J. Johnson will partner with the MidAtlantic Affordable Housing Management Association for three live webinar training sessions for real estate professionals, particularly those in the affordable multifamily housing field. The following sessions will be presented:

May 12: LIHTC in Practice: File Management, Common Pitfalls, and Real World Solutions - Staying compliant with the LIHTC program isn't just about theory—it's about practical implementation. This hands-on webinar emphasizes the everyday compliance challenges that can trip up even experienced property management teams and result in costly findings during state agency reviews and on IRS Form 8823s.

May 13: Basic LIHTC Compliance - This training is designed primarily for site and investment asset managers responsible for site-related asset management. It is especially beneficial for managers who are relatively inexperienced with the tax credit program. It covers all aspects of credit related to on-site management, including the applicant interview process, determining resident eligibility (income and student issues), handling recertification, setting rents - including a full review of utility allowance requirements, lease issues, and the importance of maintaining the property. The training includes problems and questions to ensure students fully comprehend the material.

May 21: Dealing with Income and Assets in Affordable Multifamily Housing - This live webinar offers focused instruction on the required methods for calculating and verifying income, as well as determining the value of assets and the income they generate. The first part of the course provides an in-depth discussion of employment income, military pay, pensions and Social Security, self-employment income, and child support. It ends with workshop problems designed to test what participants have learned and reinforce HUD-required techniques for calculating income. The second part concentrates on detailed requirements for determining asset value and income. It applies to all federal housing programs, including the low-income housing tax credit, tax-exempt bonds, Section 8, Section 515, and HOME. Various types of assets are discussed, including what qualifies as an asset and how they should be verified. This section also finishes with problems aimed at testing understanding of the basic asset-related requirements.

These sessions are part of a year-long collaboration between A. J. Johnson and MidAtlantic AHMA and are designed to provide affordable housing professionals with the knowledge needed to effectively manage the complex requirements of various oversight agencies.
