🏘️HUD Extends Comment Period for Fair Housing Revisions Rule
On March 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published in the Federal Register an interim final rule entitled "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions." The interim final rule provided for a 60-day comment period, which would have ended May 2, 2025. However, following a technical problem with regulations.gov that appeared to prohibit the electronic submission of comments on this rule beginning on or about April 28, HUD has determined that a seven-day extension of the comment period, until May 9, 2025, is appropriate. This extension will allow interested persons who may have tried unsuccessfully to submit comments additional time to do so.

Learn More🏘️Implications of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions
This interim final rule revises HUD's regulation governing the Fair Housing Act's mandate that the Secretary administer HUD's program and activities in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. This interim final rule returns to the original understanding of what the statutory AFFH certification was prior to 1994--a general commitment that grantees will take active steps to promote fair housing. Grantee AFFH certifications will be deemed sufficient provided they took any action during the relevant period rationally related to promoting fair housing, such as helping eliminate housing discrimination. This interim final rule does not, however, reinstate the obligation to conduct an Analysis of Impediments or mandate any specific fair housing planning mechanism; program participants must continue to affirmatively further fair housing as and to the extent required by the Fair Housing Act.
