TDHCA Announces Training for 811 Project Rental Assistance Certifications

Texas Department of Housing Holds Training for Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Program

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) Compliance staff recently held a virtual training session focusing on the required certification types for the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) Program.

This program plays a crucial role for Texans with disabilities, offering project-based rental assistance to those who are extremely low-income. By facilitating access to integrated rental housing linked with voluntary long-term services, it enables individuals to live as independently as possible.

The training equipped participants with essential information including:

  • Basic requirements for certifications
  • Forms needed during application processes
  • References to additional resources for more detailed information

However, attendees should note that the training did not cover:

  • Guidance on other programs monitored by TDHCA
  • Detailed calculations and Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) reports
  • All forms and processes required for compliance
  • Potential modifications under the Housing Opportunities through Modernization Act (HOTMA)

For those navigating the Section 811 PRA Program, it’s vital to be aware of the necessary certifications and documentation. Housing recipients should review the recorded webinar and handouts available on the TDHCA website under the “811 PRA” section to ensure compliance and optimize their benefits. Access it here.
