Compliance training

A.J. Johnson Consulting Services

A. J. Johnson Consulting Services, Inc. provides compliance services to owners and managers of affordable housing. The work covers Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, HOME, and other subsidized programs.

File reviews examine resident files and property documentation against program requirements and surface every eligibility determination and finding. Ongoing monitoring covers the period from move-in through recertification, combining inspections, oversight, and a documentation trail intended to hold up at an audit. The firm also performs property assessments and compliance reviews for acquisitions, refinancing, or regulatory submissions, and offers direct consultation on compliance strategy. Clients submit files and track file review outcomes, eligibility determinations, and open findings through a secure client dashboard, with access tied to individual email addresses and granted by a property manager or through a property access request.

Training is a second line of business, with a published schedule covering intermediate and advanced LIHTC compliance, Fair Housing, and resident communication, plus custom programs built for an organization's needs. The firm states 30 years in business and 24/7 support options.

It also publishes LIHTC.guide, a compliance toolkit with income limit and rent tables, a day count calculator, military pay references, a USDA Rural Development eligibility checker, HOTMA thresholds cited to the CFR, asset and student financial aid calculators built around 24 CFR 5.609, a searchable HUD Handbook 4350.3, an AI compliance assistant, and a project map covering more than 51,000 tax credit properties. Course and engagement fees are not published.

Common questions

How does a client get access to the client dashboard?
Access is tied to an email address. A current manager for the property can add an address directly, which is usually fastest, or a property access request can be submitted so the firm can verify the relationship to the property. A first-time address receives sign-in details by email; an existing account sees the new property at the next sign-in.
What does the client dashboard show?
It tracks compliance status in real time across every property the user has access to, including file review outcomes, eligibility determinations, and open findings. Where a user has access to more than one property, a dropdown filters the tables to a single property or back to all properties.
