Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development; Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program for Homeless Individuals; Final Rule

This rule represents the final rulemaking for three interim rules implementing the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program for Homeless Individuals. The interim rules clarified program definitions and requirements, conformed the regulations with statutory and other changes, and simplified the application selection and tenant outreach processes by conforming them with the processes used in other HUD-administered competitive McKinney Act programs. This final rule adopts the interim rules as final and includes a discussion of the public comments received on the interim rules. This final rule also further streamlines the regulations by eliminating provisions that are redundant of statutes or are otherwise unnecessary, in accordance with the President's regulatory reform initiatives.
