NCSHA Letter to Treasury on Proposed Data Collection System

On March 6, 2026, NCSHA submitted comments to the U.S. Department of the Treasury expressing concerns about a proposed new system of records that would require extensive retroactive data and document collection for several pandemic-era federal programs. NCSHA warned the proposal would impose duplicative and burdensome requirements on state housing finance agencies and other program administrators and raised significant concerns about cost, data security, and the handling of personally identifiable information. The letter urged Treasury to rescind the proposal and instead pursue more targeted oversight using existing program audit tools.
