HUD clarifies who and what is in FDM
HUD changed its Financial Data Mart (FDM) system of records to clarify which individuals are covered, what categories of records are kept, and the stated purpose of the system. These changes are meant to make the contents and coverage of FDM clearer for people whose financial data comes from HUD programs.
No new costs or delays for data users
HUD says these updates affect people involved with HUD financial data now, but the changes do not create any new costs or delays. If you interact with HUD financial reporting, you should see clarified rules but no added fees or slower processes.
Changes to safeguards, retention, and access rules
HUD revised sections of the Financial Data Mart rules covering retention and disposal of records, administrative/technical/physical safeguards, record access procedures, contesting records, and notification procedures. These revisions change how records are stored, protected, and how people can access or challenge their records in FDM.
