Updated Tips for Working With Your Environmental Professional
AHFA has updated a list of tips for working with your Environmental Professional in preparing the environmental assessment to be submitted with applications for AHFA-related projects. 

The tips are not meant to be exhaustive of all the items you should consider when working with your EP. Rather, they are meant to help applicants and their EPs avoid common mistakes. 

Although the tips are designed to be consistent with AHFA's Environmental Policy Requirements and related policies and regulations, only the requirements set forth in AHFA's current year allocation plans are controlling.

New Point Deduction Items for 2020 Audits/Inspections
