On July 12, PHADA submitted comments concerning HUD’s interim final rule published on June 10th entitled “Restoring Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Definitions and Certifications.” By the 12th, HUD received 30 other comments from members of the public, housing advocacy organizations, legal services organizations, housing authorities, local governments, and others. In general, PHADA’s comments supported the department’s efforts to reinstate effect, rational processes to comply with requirements to AFFH and to certify to that compliance. PHADA will summarize its comments and those others have submitted in the next issue of the Advocate.
