HUD Extends Deadline for Fair Market Rents Feedback, Fixes Honolulu Oversight

Summary
HUD is giving more time for people to share their thoughts on the 2026 Fair Market Rents (FMRs) used for housing programs, extending the comment deadline to October 1, 2025. They also fixed a mistake by adding Urban Honolulu to the list of areas with updated rent data, which could affect local rent limits and housing assistance. This means housing agencies and renters in those areas get a fairer chance to weigh in and see accurate rent numbers for next year.

Urban Honolulu FMRs Corrected
