The National Housing Conference and Center for Housing Policy are beginning a new project and are seeking your help and input. We are examining the extent to which changes in HUD regulations or guidance, or other HUD actions, could advance the following objectives:
Our goal is to identify specific changes that could help make a difference by tapping the expertise and experiences of the Forum membership. While our focus is on non-legislative changes that could be adopted by HUD, we would welcome input on how changes in the regulations of other federal agencies could also be helpful in advancing these areas. Over the next month, we encourage you to add your thoughts in the threads below, or to create new threads as needed. Please feel free to contact us if you'd like to talk in more detail. |
