If you haven't done it already, google Marketing Guidelines HPD and download the Marketing Handbook. Read the whole thing. It has a wealth of information. When you're going through this process, the more you know, the better. I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record! To those of you who remember what records are.

On page 48 you'll see:

A. STUDENT STATUS (IRS PROGRAM UNITS)
1. The Marketing Agent must require that all adult members of the applicant
household complete a Student Status Affidavit, which must be signed and
notarized. Samples of such certifications are included in this manual. See Student
Status Affidavit at Initial Certification, Attachment J-1.
2. The Student Rule for IRS program units prohibits low-income units in these
programs from being occupied exclusively by full-time students (for Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits and tax-exempt bonds, the IRS defines a “student” as a fulltime
student during five calendar months of the calendar year at an educational
institution, other than a correspondence school, with regular faculty and
students), unless the household qualifies for an exception under the IRS code.
See TIC, Attachment L-3, for exceptions.


I'm told it's a federal IRS rule. I can't find the attachment L-3. Maybe you can hunt around. There are also other attachments you can download.

Notice that the rule says "occupied exclusively by full-time students." So that means that YOU can be a full-time student as long as someone else in the household with you is NOT a full-time student. If you're applying by yourself, obviously it means you cannot be a full-time student. Are you applying alone?

You should get the marketing guidelines as I suggested and read them. That is the official source.

Also, you will not be able to add your boyfriend to your application unless you marry him. I assume you mean that now you are applying with him.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you won't be getting a 2 bedroom just because you add your boyfriend. That's not how this works. 1 couple = 1 bedroom.
