## Summary

**Expands HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door program to let members of the Armed Forces, firefighters, and law enforcement buy eligible HUD single‑unit properties.** It would also remove the rule that those properties must be located in designated revitalization areas for these buyers. - Members of the Armed Forces, firefighters, and law enforcement — Would be newly eligible to purchase eligible single‑unit properties acquired by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development through the Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program, expanding who can buy those homes. - Department of Housing and Urban Development — Would have to amend its regulations as necessary to implement the eligibility and location changes so properties can be offered to these buyers without regard to revitalization area status.
