  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 4686
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has decided not to move forward with a proposed rule from April 2024, called "Reducing Barriers to HUD-Assisted Housing." This rule aimed to change regulations concerning applicants with criminal records or a history with the justice system for HUD housing programs. HUD will formally remove this proposal from their Spring 2025 plan and does not plan to issue a final rule on it. If HUD considers similar regulations in the future, they will issue a new proposed rule, complying with legal requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wanted to make a new rule to help people with criminal records get housing more easily, but now they've decided not to make that rule. If they want to do something similar in the future, they'll have to start the process over again.

  • Type:Rule

    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a final rule requiring public housing agencies (PHAs) and owners of properties receiving project-based rental assistance to give tenants a 30-day written notice before beginning eviction procedures for nonpayment of rent. This rule is intended to provide tenants with more time to resolve rent issues and seek assistance, aiming to reduce unnecessary evictions. The rule adopts and expands upon a previous interim final rule, and it allows for certain flexibility in emergencies declared by the President. Compliance with the rule is required by January 13, 2025, with specific conditions for different types of housing programs.

    Simple Explanation

    The new rule says that if someone living in certain types of government-supported housing can't pay their rent, the people in charge of the building have to give them a paper saying they have 30 days to sort things out before they can be kicked out. This is meant to give people more time to get help and try to sort out their rent troubles.
