In October 2025, A. J. Johnson will partner with the Mid-Atlantic Affordable Housing Management Association for a live webinar designed for real estate professionals, particularly those in the affordable multifamily housing sector. The following session will be presented:

October 15: Multifamily Tax-Exempt Bonds: Compliance, Management, and LIHTC Connection

Tax-exempt private activity bonds are a crucial yet often misunderstood financing tool for affordable housing. This training will equip property managers, compliance professionals, and developers with the knowledge necessary to understand the unique rules governing bond-financed housing and its connection to the 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC).

Participants will learn:

• The Fundamentals: What makes a bond "tax-exempt," key qualification requirements, and how they differ from traditional LIHTC projects.
• The Bond-LIHTC Link: How the "50% (now 25%) Test" works, the timing rules that determine credit eligibility, and the critical compliance overlaps.
• Compliance Requirements: Tenant income verification, the Next Available Unit Rule, monitoring standards, and the Qualified Project Period.
• Key Differences: How bond compliance rules diverge from LIHTC in areas like rent restrictions, available unit rules, and asset verification.
• Best Practices: Developing effective compliance files, internal audits, staff training, and building strong communication with issuers and state agencies.

The session will also cover current bond allocation limits, state agency requirements, and common pitfalls that could threaten tax-exempt status or LIHTC eligibility.

Whether you’re new to bond-financed housing or managing layered deals, this webinar offers the tools and strategies to keep your projects compliant, financially stable, and set up for long-term success.

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