In addition, annual income recertifications due between April 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021, are waived in their entirety. The Department extends this relief to all Housing Tax Credit, State Housing Trust Fund and TCAP units. The requirement to complete the Annual Eligibility Certification (AEC) has also been waived for all developments.
