Summary
HUD wants your thoughts on updating the paperwork for the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), which helps folks build their own homes. This 30-day comment period ends December 24, 2025, and affects anyone involved in the program’s application process. The goal? Make sure the forms are clear and easy to use without adding extra costs or delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
HUD’s estimated annual hours and cost
HUD estimates total annual burden hours of 2,774.50 and a total annual cost of $240,715.62 for the information collection associated with SHOP, with specific line items such as Grant Reporting (DRGR) showing 800 annual hours and $70,208 annual cost. These cost and hour estimates are part of HUD’s request to OMB (OMB Control No. 2506-0157).
Paperwork burden for SHOP applicants
If you are a national or regional non-profit self-help housing organization (including consortia) applying for SHOP funds, HUD requires you to register in SAM.gov and submit SHOP NOFO narratives and forms in Grants.gov. The collection lists many required forms (for example SF-424, HUD-424-B, HUD-426, HUD-2996, HUD-50070) and is used to determine eligibility, rate and rank applications, and select grant recipients.
Ongoing post-award reporting via DRGR
If you receive a SHOP grant, HUD requires semi-annual post-award reporting in the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system, including activity and budget information, drawdowns, performance reports, federal financial reports, action plans, and environmental site certification. HUD states this reporting is required to ensure grantee compliance with the Executed Grant Agreement.

2026-16228, HUD's Implementation of the Fair Housing Act's Disparate Impact Standard; Amendments to HUD's Title VI Regulations
HUD published a notice of proposed rulemaking in January of 2026 that proposed to remove HUD's disparate-impact regulations and leave interpretation of disparate-impact liability under the Fair Housing Act to the courts. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking continues HUD's efforts to remove or revise regulations that prohibit conduct having a disparate impact without evidence of discriminatory intent. Through this rule, HUD is proposing to remove provisions in HUD's Title VI implementing regulations that impose disparate-impact liability on recipients of HUD Federal financial assistance. If finalized, this rule would improve consistency within HUD's own regulations and between HUD's regulations and the Title VI regulations recently revised by the Department of Justice (DOJ). This rule reopens the public comment period of HUD's January 2026 proposed rule on disparate-impact liability; HUD will only consider comments on topics related to this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking during the reopened comment period.
