This rule removes HUD's Renewal Communities regulations because the designations were time limited, and all incentives have been repealed and sunset.
This proposed rule would amend HUD regulations to provide Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and certain Multifamily Housing Owners (Owners) with the option to implement work requirements for work- eligible adults and term limits for non-elderly, non-disabled families residing in public housing or receiving assistance through Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), or Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). This proposed rule is necessary to further the statutory goals of the public housing, HCV, PBV, and PBRA programs to provide maximum local flexibility for PHAs, promote self-sufficiency for residents, promote economically mixed housing in the PBRA program, and address the affordable housing shortage.
This rule revokes the 2021 interim final rule and 2024 final rule requiring that public housing agencies (PHAs) and owners of properties receiving project-based rental assistance (PBRA) provide certain tenants with 30-day notification prior to termination of lease for nonpayment of rent. Regulatory requirements for notice of termination for nonpayment of rent will return to pre-2021 requirements, which range from 5 days to 30 days for HUD programs and depend on state and local laws. This rule also removes requirements from the 2021 and 2024 rules related to information in termination notices.
Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980, as amended ("Section 214"), prohibits the Secretary of HUD from making financial assistance available to persons other than United States citizens or certain categories of eligible noncitizens in HUD's public and specified assisted housing programs. This proposed rule would revise HUD's Section 214 implementing regulations to require the verification of U.S. citizenship or the eligible immigration status of all applicants and recipients of assistance under a covered program regardless of age. The proposed rule would also make prorated assistance a temporary condition pending verification of eligible status of all family members, where permitted by statute, as opposed to under HUD's current regulations where prorated assistance could continue indefinitely. These amendments would bring HUD's regulations into greater alignment with the wording and purpose of Section 214 and align with the current Administration's priorities and regulatory reform efforts.
The Section 3 rule "Enhancing and Streamlining the Implementation of Section 3 Requirements for Creating Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons and Eligible Businesses" published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2020, includes a requirement that the HUD Secretary update Section 3 project thresholds "not less than once every 5 years based on a national construction cost inflation factor through Federal Register notice not subject to public comment." This notice serves as an update of the 2020 version of the final rule, discusses the establishment of a national construction cost inflation factor for Section 3 projects, and establishes new Section 3 project thresholds.
This rule removes HUD's John Heinz Neighborhood Development Program regulations because the program has not been funded since 1998 and all grants have been closed out.
This document announces a solicitation of comments on the methodology described to determine the Section 108 loan guarantee fee to cover credit subsidy costs that HUD published in the Federal Register on November 19, 2025. HUD will collect the fee from borrowers of loans guaranteed under HUD's Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108 Program) to offset the credit subsidy costs of the guaranteed loans pursuant to commitments awarded in Fiscal Year 2026 in the event HUD is required or authorized by statute to do so, notwithstanding subsection (m) of section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of dwellings and in other housing-related activities. Since 2013, HUD has issued three final rules for determining whether a given practice has an unjustified discriminatory effect under the Fair Housing Act, even where practices were not motivated by discriminatory intent. These rules formalized legal tests that were not explicit in statute and imposed a presumption of unlawful discrimination when any variance in outcomes exists among protected classes, even without a showing of a facially discriminatory policy or discriminatory intent. Through this rulemaking, HUD is proposing to remove its discriminatory effects regulations and leaving to courts questions related to interpretations of disparate impact liability under the Fair Housing Act.
This document further extends the compliance date for HUD's final rule entitled Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016: Implementation of Sections 102 and 104 (HOTMA final rule) for Community Planning and Development (CPD) programs. Specifically, HUD is extending the compliance date for the HOME Investment Partnerships program (HOME), HOME-American Rescue Plan program, Housing Trust Fund (HTF), Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG), Emergency Solution Grants (ESG), Continuum of Care (CoC) programs, and CPD programs funded through competitive processes (Competitive Programs). This action is necessary to allow additional time for HUD to finalize necessary system updates and for CPD grantees to fully incorporate the new income and asset requirements into their programs.
This document indefinitely delays the compliance date for HUD's final rule entitled "Strengthening the Section 184 Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Program" published on March 20, 2024 until HUD completes necessary updates to the handbook, which will provide necessary guidance for implementing the final rule.
In reviewing HUD's May 7, 2024, final rule Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016-Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Project-Based Voucher Implementation; Additional Streamlining Changes, HUD discovered minor errors and provisions that would benefit from clarification. This rule corrects those technical errors, updates references, and makes clarifying amendments.
This document announces the fee that HUD will collect from borrowers of loans guaranteed under HUD's Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108 Program) to offset the credit subsidy costs of the guaranteed loans pursuant to commitments awarded in Fiscal Year 2026 in the event HUD is required or authorized by statute to do so, notwithstanding subsection (m) of section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The fee to offset credit subsidy costs is changing from 0.82 percent in Fiscal Year 2025 to 0.58 percent in Fiscal Year 2026.
This final rule further extends the effective date for certain provisions of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining final rule (HOME Final Rule) published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2025, which was scheduled to take effect on October 30, 2025. This publication announces that HUD is further delaying the effective or compliance dates for certain provisions of the HOME Final Rule.
This interim final rule revises the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) regulations governing the Section 184 Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Program (the "Section 184 Program") by modifying the residency requirements for Borrower eligibility for Section 184 Program insured mortgages. This revision aligns HUD's requirements with recent executive actions that emphasize the prioritization of federal resources to protect the financial interests of American citizens and ensure the integrity of government-insured loan programs.
This rule provides for 2025 inflation adjustments of civil monetary penalty amounts required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 Act). This rule also removes an obsolete regulation relating to the imposition of civil monetary penalties.
This proposed rule would rescind the Department's Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing regulations, which require a participant in an FHA insurance or Multifamily Housing rental assistance program to complete and submit a form supplied by HUD that describes its affirmative fair housing marketing plan.
On March 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published in the Federal Register an interim final rule entitled "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions." The interim final rule provided for a 60-day comment period, which would have ended May 2, 2025. However, following a technical problem with regulations.gov that appeared to prohibit the electronic submission of comments on this rule beginning on or about April 28, HUD has determined that a seven-day extension of the comment period, until May 9, 2025, is appropriate. This extension will allow interested persons who may have tried unsuccessfully to submit comments additional time to do so.
On January 6, 2025, HUD published the HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining final rule (HOME Final Rule) in the Federal Register, which was scheduled to take effect on February 5, 2025. On February 3, 2025, HUD delayed the effective date of the HOME Final Rule until April 20, 2025, consistent with the President's January 20, 2025, memorandum titled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review." This publication announces that HUD is further delaying the effective or compliance dates for certain provisions of the HOME Final Rule. The provisions of the HOME Final Rule that are not further delayed by this publication are effective as of April 20, 2025.
This interim final rule revises HUD's regulation governing the Fair Housing Act's mandate that the Secretary administer HUD's program and activities in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. This interim final rule returns to the original understanding of what the statutory AFFH certification was prior to 1994--a general commitment that grantees will take active steps to promote fair housing. Grantee AFFH certifications will be deemed sufficient provided they took any action during the relevant period rationally related to promoting fair housing, such as helping eliminate housing discrimination. This interim final rule does not, however, reinstate the obligation to conduct an Analysis of Impediments or mandate any specific fair housing planning mechanism; program participants must continue to affirmatively further fair housing as and to the extent required by the Fair Housing Act.
On September 16, 2024, HUD published the "Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards" final rule (MHCSS 4th and 5th Sets) in the Federal Register. The MHCSS 4th and 5th Sets final rule established a March 17, 2025, effective date. Consistent with the President's January 20, 2025, memorandum titled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review", this document announces that HUD is delaying the effective date for the MHCSS 4th and 5th Sets final rule until September 15, 2025.
On January 6, 2025, HUD published the "HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining" final rule (HOME Final Rule) in the Federal Register. The HOME Final Rule provides for the rule to take effect on February 5, 2025. Consistent with the President's January 20, 2025, memorandum titled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review", this notice announces that HUD is delaying the effective date for the HOME Final Rule until April 20, 2025.
This document extends the compliance date for HUD's final rule entitled "Strengthening the Section 184 Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Program" (the final rule). HUD is extending the compliance date from March 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025 to provide additional time for HUD to develop and implement a comprehensive handbook, to prepare new forms, and to allow Tribes, lenders, servicers, and other participants time to conform their policies, procedures, and systems to comply with the final rule.
This document informs the public that HUD has determined not to pursue the proposed rule previously published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2024, entitled "Reducing Barriers to HUD- Assisted Housing". HUD will proceed to formally withdraw the rule from HUD's Spring 2025 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.
