On March 24, HUD issued a memo withdrawing its November 15 Clarification on Valuation of Non Shelter Services memo. HUD expects to more fully address the issues that led to the release of this memo, as well as questions and concerns arising from the memo, in upcoming draft revisions to Chapter 9 of the Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook. These revisions will be available for public review and comment prior to taking effect. NH&RA, along with several of our partners, sent a letter to HUD opposing the November 15 memo, as well as the lack of public engagement prior to its release.
