HUD and SBA Team Up to Spot Deadbeat Borrowers

Notice
Summary
HUD and the Small Business Administration are teaming up to share info about people who owe money to the government. This new program helps check if someone is behind on federal debts before they get a federal loan, making sure loans go to responsible borrowers. It starts around July 2, 2026, runs for 18 months, and could save taxpayers money by reducing risky lending.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
SBA Delinquencies Added to CAIVRS
If you are a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor, or other obligor on an SBA disaster or business loan and are delinquent, SBA will transmit your debtor data (including SSN, EIN/TIN, case number, and status codes) to HUD for inclusion in CAIVRS. This prescreening data will be used by Federal agencies, authorized contractors, and approved financial institutions to check applicants for Federal direct or federally guaranteed loans. The matching program starts about July 2, 2026, and runs for an initial 18 months.
Prescreening Aims To Reduce Risk
HUD and the SBA will use the matching program to help prescreen applicants for Federal direct or federally guaranteed loans by checking CAIVRS for delinquent Federal debt. The notice says this supports Federal credit eligibility determinations and could save taxpayers money by reducing risky lending; the program begins around July 2, 2026 and will run for 18 months.

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.
