With the increased emphasis on compliance by investors and owners, these sessions are invaluable in helping you keep abreast of compliance issues which impact your property. The Commission has tailored these Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and Tax-Exempt Bond compliance workshops to meet your specific needs.
