The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has extended the compliance date for its final rule on the Section 184 Indian Housing Loan Guarantee Program from March 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. This extension is needed to give HUD more time to create a detailed handbook and new forms, as well as to allow all participants, including Tribes and lenders, to update their systems and procedures to meet the new requirements. The final rule originally aimed to update program regulations to manage risks and increase participation, while also clarifying rules for eligibility and operations in the program.
Simple Explanation
HUD wants to make some changes to the rules for a program that helps Native Americans with housing loans. They are taking more time, until the end of 2025, to get everything ready and make sure everyone involved understands how things will work.
