Rule to Deconcentrate Poverty and Promote Integration in Public Housing

This final rule amends HUD's Public Housing Agency Plan regulations to fully reflect the importance of deconcentration by income and affirmatively furthering fair housing in a PHA's admission policy, consistent with the directive to achieve "One America," and to provide further direction to PHAs on the implementation of deconcentration and affirmatively furthering fair housing. This final rule follows publication of an April 17, 2000 proposed rule and takes into consideration public comment received on the proposed rule. The amendments made by this final rule concerning the deconcentration component of a PHA's admission policy are applicable to PHAs with fiscal years commencing on and after July 1, 2001.
