  • 2025-03360 — Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11020
    Reading Time:about 20 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued an interim final rule to simplify and clarify the regulations related to affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH). This rule returns to the older, pre-1994 understanding that requires grantees to make active efforts to promote fair housing but removes detailed planning mandates that were previously enforced. The simplified rule aims to reduce regulatory burdens, allowing local communities more flexibility to address their specific housing needs. Public comments on this rule are invited within 60 days from the effective date.

    Simple Explanation

    HUD wants to make it easier for cities and towns to promise they are trying to make housing fair for everyone, but now they don't need to make detailed plans on how to do it. They hope this way, each place can focus on what they need most, but some people worry it might make it harder to check if they're actually helping everyone fairly.

  • 2020-28227 — Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards

    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 2496
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a final rule modifying the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards. This rule adopts certain recommendations from the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) to enhance safety, affordability, and flexibility of manufactured homes. Key amendments include updates to standards for attached garages and structures, interior passage dimensions, carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, and stairway design and requirements. The rule aims to modernize the standards, align them with best practices, and incorporate new technologies to provide benefits to consumers and the broader community.

    Simple Explanation

    HUD made some new rules to make manufactured homes (like big trailers you can live in) safer and better, like adding safety alarms and better stairs. But some people are worried it might be hard for small builders to follow these rules, and they want the rules to be clearer and easier to understand.
