Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of key housing programs, including Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties, and state-specific reduced rent initiatives. They will learn to guide individuals with disabilities in navigating housing options, accurately report income changes, and assess the impact of earnings on rent and eligibility.
