Summary
HUD wants to keep collecting important family info through reports that help fund public housing programs. They’re asking for public feedback by January 4, 2027, before making changes to these forms. This affects families in public housing and agencies managing these programs, aiming to keep things running smoothly without adding extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
PHAs bear reporting burden and costs
HUD estimates the total reporting burden will involve 7,560 respondents and 2,004,687 responses, totaling 1,088,481 annual burden hours and an estimated $25,829,668.34 in annual cost to respondents. These figures come from the notice's burden table for the HUD-50058 family reports and MTW variants.
HUD continues tenant data collection
HUD will continue collecting demographic, family-profile, income, and housing information for the nationwide population of tenants in assisted housing using Form HUD-50058 and the HUD-50058-MTW/Expansion forms. HUD says the data will be used to monitor and evaluate Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation, and MTW programs.

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.
