Notice

Summary

HUD and USDA are making new energy rules for homes they help pay to build, but they’re giving builders more time to follow these rules. This affects people working on HUD- and USDA-funded housing projects, who now have extra months to meet the new energy-saving standards. The goal? To save energy and money while making homes greener, without rushing anyone.
