Using the Income Calculator for Rental and TBRA Programs Webinar

This webinar, held on November 15, 2012, demonstrates how to use the newly launched CPD Income Eligibility Calculator to determine and document the Adjusted Income, and Rental Assistance amounts for CPD Program beneficiaries. This webinar is designed for grantees using HOME, HOPWA, CDBG, CDBG Disaster Recovery, BEDI, Section 108, and/or NSP for rental housing activities where adjusted income is used (i.e., ability to pay for rent and utilities), including tenant based rental assistance programs. The webinar provides grantees with an overview of how the calculator works and the benefits of using it for the distinct aspects of rental and tenant-based rental assistance activities. In addition, the webinar discusses basic income determination requirements and documentation. Self-certifications and governmental agency recertification are briefly discussed. Finally, case studies are provided using Part 5 for Adjusted Income and Rental Assistance calculations.
