HUD Pushes Back HOME Program Changes to Later Date

2026-04990 — Revocation of the 30-Day Notification Requirement Prior to Termination of Lease for Nonpayment of Rent; Indefinite Delay of Effective Date

HUD is hitting the pause button on a new rule that would have stopped the 30-day heads-up before evicting tenants for not paying rent. This means public housing tenants and property owners won’t see changes just yet, as HUD reviews feedback and legal challenges. No rent-related notices are changing for now, so everyone can breathe easy until HUD decides the next move.

2026-04095 — Establishing Flexibility for Implementation of Work Requirements and Term Limits

HUD is proposing new rules that let local housing agencies and some apartment owners require adults to work and set time limits on housing help for families who aren’t elderly or disabled. This gives communities more control to encourage self-sufficiency and mix incomes, helping tackle the affordable housing crunch. Comments on these changes are open until May 1, 2026, so get ready to weigh in!

The government is rolling out a new way to manage energy budgets called Zero-Based Budgeting, which means starting fresh each year to spend money smarter and boost American energy.

Next: 2025-19655 — Collection of Biometric Data From Aliens Upon Entry to and Departure From the United States

Starting December 26, 2025, anyone who isn’t a U.S. citizen will have to get their photo and other biometric info taken when they enter or leave the United States—no matter if they’re at an airport, land border, or seaport. This new rule replaces old pilot programs and expands where biometrics are collected. It affects travelers and could change how quickly you move through customs, so the government is also asking for feedback on the process and costs by November 26, 2025.
