Description
HUD’s Verification of Eligible Status final rule was published on November 12, 2026, and takes effect just over a month later, on December 14, 2026. Tenant notices are due by January 11, 2027, and the first resident deadlines follow soon after. The rule applies to existing residents as well as new applicants, so housing providers have very little time to update policies, forms, and procedures.
In this Breaking News webinar, NCHM explains what the rule requires, walks through the verification process from first notice to final decision, and outlines its impact on households.
