NCSHA Comments to HUD on Program Deregulation Proposals
The National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on behalf of the state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs) it represents on HUD regulations that may be outdated, ineffective, or excessively burdensome. Alleviating regulatory burdens will help HFAs, other HUD grantees, and other program partners stretch scarce resources to meet growing affordable housing needs. In addition, HFAs’ strong performance as partners with HUD in the administration of many key affordable housing programs shows that they deserve more flexibility and that HUD can entrust to them more program responsibility.
