Rather than just react to fair housing complaints, HUD plans to be more assertive via a program announced in Jan. This week, it extended the comment period to April 24.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WASHINGTON \u2013 In January, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed a new program called \u201cAffirmatively Furthering Fair Housing\u201d that would be preceded by a public comment period finalizing the details.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That comment period was drawing to a close, however, and HUD announced in the Federal Register this week<\/a> that it would be extended by 14 days to April 24, 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After announcing the new program in January, HUD published its\u00a0Notice of Proposed Rulemaking<\/a> in the Federal Register on Feb.9. It originally called for a 60-day public comment period.

\u201cAffirmatively Furthering Fair Housing\u201d is HUD\u2019s response to a proposal President Joe Biden issued during his first days in office, outlined in\u00a0Memorandum on Redressing Our Nation\u2019s and the Federal Government\u2019s History of Discriminatory Housing Practices and Policies<\/a>. It aims to remedy the effects of a long history of discrimination in housing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HUD says a lot of interested parties requested more time to review the rule and provide comments. In response, HUD decided to extend the public comment period for two weeks.
