RHS adopted rules pertaining to income banding, net family assets and area loan limits. Per the rule adoption: a two-tier income limit structure (also known as income banding) is now allowed within the single family housing programs; assets such as voluntary retirement accounts, tax advantaged college, and health/medical savings accounts are now excluded from net family assets; and the methodology used to determine the area loan limits is revised to use a percentage of the applicable local HUD section 203(b) limit. The revised area loan limit methodology becomes effective on August 5, 2019. All other changes are effective July 22, 2019.
