HUD announced $5 million will be made available this summer for the purchase and installation of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors in public housing units where they are necessary. HUD also announced it has been working with Congressional leaders on the Senate Banking Committee on legislation that will require CO detectors in HUD-assisted housing units that need them.
Last month, HUD sent PIH Notice 2019-06 to all public housing authorities and private owners of HUD-subsidized housing a notice to encourage them to install working CO detectors in their properties. In the notice HUD also announced its intent to publish rule making.
