The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is inviting public comments on a proposed information collection related to the designation of housing projects. This proposal aims to revise currently approved data gathering processes to better justify why specific housing projects should be labeled for elderly only, disabled only, or both, and to explore the implications this has on housing accessibility. HUD expects the number of public housing agencies using this process to decrease due to changes in public housing approaches. The public has 60 days to comment on whether this information collection is necessary, and how its processes might be improved or made less burdensome.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) wants to hear what people think about their idea to change how they decide which housing is for older or disabled people. They think that fewer places need to be checked now but haven't explained why, and they need help making sure the process doesn't take too long or cost too much.
