HUD Plans Generic Checkups on Grant Recipients
Published Date: 8/25/2026
Notice
Summary
HUD wants to collect new information from groups that get competitive funding to make sure everything’s on track after awards are given. They’re asking for your thoughts on this plan by October 26, 2026. If you get HUD money through competitions, this could affect how you report your progress, but no new fees are involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Mandatory Post-Award Reporting
If you receive HUD discretionary competitive funding, you must submit post-award reports and retain records on program/project performance outcomes, obligations and expenditures of funds, compliance with 2 CFR 200.302, internal controls, and implementation of applicable laws. HUD says this consolidates post-award reporting into a generic information collection even though individual program forms are not expected to change.
Estimated Time and Monetized Burden
HUD estimates 196,000 respondent grants from 29,200 grantees and expects an average of 70.25 working hours to prepare and submit post-award reports. HUD used a blended hourly rate of $62.97 to monetize respondent time for various reporting activities.
Record Retention Burden and Cost
If you get HUD competitive funding, you must retain records to support the allowability of expenditures and HUD may request those records; HUD estimates record retention will require 14,112,000 annual hours and monetizes that burden at $888,632,640 per year. HUD may ask recipients to submit retained records based on applicable law.
No New Fees for Respondents
HUD states this information collection will not impose any new fees on recipients and subrecipients of competitive awards. You will need to report and retain records, but HUD does not plan to charge new fees for this collection.

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.
