Gig Income & New-Age Assets: Navigating Compliance Across Housing Programs

The financial landscape of applicants and residents is changing. Income no longer comes just from traditional paychecks, and assets extend far beyond savings accounts and property.

Today’s households may rely on ride-sharing, food delivery, freelance projects, short-term rentals, or online sales to make ends meet. At the same time, digital assets—cryptocurrency, online wallets, crowdfunding accounts, and payment platforms—are redefining what counts as income and assets in affordable housing.

For property managers and compliance professionals, these unconventional sources raise tough questions. How do you verify gig income? How do you value digital assets? And how do you stay compliant when regulatory guidance is limited—or silent?
