This rule establishes procedures to file a complaint for a claim of discrimination under HUD's community planning and development programs funded under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The procedure is modeled on HUD's regulations implementing the prohibition against discrimination on the basis of disability and the regulations implementing the prohibition against discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in Federal programs. The rule also provides that hearings on complaints be conducted in accordance with HUD's consolidated hearing procedures for civil rights claims. This rule is needed to inform members of the public how to file complaints and how HUD will act on their complaints. The rule also informs the public of HUD's procedures for conducting compliance reviews.
