Coalition Letter to HUD to Preserve Restore-Rebuild Initiative
NCSHA and a broad group of affordable housing organizations sent this June 18, 2026, letter urging HUD to rescind its May 2026 memorandum terminating the Restore-Rebuild initiative, which allows public housing authorities to develop new housing up to their Faircloth limit and convert those units to long-term Section 8 assistance through the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. The signatories argue that terminating Restore-Rebuild would disrupt development pipelines, undermine public-private partnerships, and remove a critical tool for expanding the supply of affordable housing.
