On March 5, HUD rescinded guidance set forth in Notice PIH 2024-17, Streamlined Review Process for Regulatory Waivers to Expedite Admission to the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Project-based Voucher (PBV), and Public Housing Programs for Persons Experiencing Homelessness.
The recission eliminates waivers related to verification requirements at admission to the HCV, PBV, or public housing programs including:
- Third-party verification of date of birth and a person’s disability status and
- Third-party verification of income and assets.
Waivers already approved or granted using the process described in Notice PIH 2024-17 remain valid until their expiration.
