View Rule

Through this rule, HUD would codify the changes Sections 102, 103 and 104 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA) made to the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. These changes affect income determinations and the definitions of income and assets under the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA), Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and the Public Housing programs, the implementation of an asset limitation for these programs, and the establishment of an income limitation for continued occupancy in public housing. In addition, HUD programs with codified provisions that mirror U.S. Housing Act of 1937 provisions amended by HOTMA, such as the HOME and HOPWA programs, will also be affected.
