The materials in this section are archived.  They relate to the proposed NHTF regulations.  The materials are now obsolete.  See materials about the interim regulations for information about how the NHTF is now operating.

  In order to implement any program created by Congress, the implementing agency must create a set of proposed regulations that would govern operation of that program. HUD, the agency that will administer the NHTF, is in the process of completing the NHTF regulations.    Proposed regulations implementing the National Housing Trust Fund were published on October 29, 2010 in the Federal Register. The core of the proposed regulations would be inserted into existing HOME program regulations as a new subpart N to 24 CFR part 92.    The resources on this page provide in-depth analysis of the proposed regulations, and summarize the comments made by the NHTF Campaign and others on the proposed rule.    In addition, HUD's regulatory impact analysis of the National Housing Trust Fund is available on the HUD website (link opens in a separate page).
