HUD delays new HOME program rules again
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
HUD is putting two pending parts of its HOME housing program update on hold indefinitely. The delayed changes cover green building standards and rules on tenant protection and tenant selection, so housing agencies and HOME program participants do not need to comply with those provisions yet. HUD says it will issue a proposed rule and take more public comment before deciding whether and how to move forward. For now, organizations that use HOME funds should continue following the provisions already in effect and watch for the next rulemaking step.
