This guidance includes information on the phase-in hardship relief provision as detailed in the HOTMA final rule, HOTMA-compliant Tenant Selections Plans at Management and Occupancy Reviews, and use of the rent override function in TRACS 202D up until the newly established July 1, 2025 compliance date.
