Take Action to Oppose Harmful HUD Proposal to Remove 2025 HOME Tenant Protections; Comments Due TODAY, Monday, June 1!

By Libby O’Neill, NLIHC Senior Policy Analyst and Renee Williams, NLIHC Senior Advisor for Public Policy 

HUD issued on April 30 a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) that proposes to remove important tenant protections from HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) regulations that were finalized in 2025 (see Memo, 5/11).  

Examples of tenant protections HUD seeks to roll back include:   

• A requirement to relocate tenants, at no additional cost to the tenant, if a life-threatening deficiency cannot be resolved the same day.   
• Requirements regarding security deposits and allowing tenants to organize.  
• Protection against “unreasonable interference or retaliation.”
