Department of Housing and Urban Development July 17, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is proposing to revise HUD's regulations for Housing Assistance Payments contracts that were initially issued and administered by a State Housing Finance Agency. The proposed rule would clarify the meaning of the terms "HFA (Housing Finance Agency)" and "State Agency (Agency)" when HUD either assumes contract administration responsibilities or assigns the contract administration responsibilities to a Performance-Based Contract Administrator. The proposed rule would also clarify how reserve accounts may be transferred following assumption of contract administration duties by a new party. These regulatory changes would conform with longstanding HUD policy and practice.
