Deadline Extended for Comments on the HUD Revised Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide

HUD has extended the deadline for submitting comments to the draft revised Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide for public comment to May 14, 2014. 

The draft guide can be found here under the section “What’s New”. Those interested in making comments can send them electronically to Section8RenewalGuide@hud.gov or via mail to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Attention: Section 8 Renewal Guide, 451 7th Street, SW., Room 6134, Washington, DC 20410 – 0500.  Comments must specifically identify the section number, page, and paragraph number to which they refer.

A preliminary list of significant issues was included in a recent LeadingAge article.  

LeadingAge is working with coalition partners to review core concerns, particularly focusing on the proposed changes which introduce a new external comparison for Rent Comparability Studies (RCS).
