HUD Extends Comment Period Regarding Over-Income Public Housing Households

On March 10, HUD published a notice in the Federal Register extending the comment period regarding over-income residents in public housing (see Memo, 2/8). HUD is seeking input on whether public housing agencies should be required to terminate public housing assistance and evict families with incomes that “significantly” exceed income limits for a “sustained” period of time. Any changes would have to go through the formal rulemaking process. Comments are due April 11.
