Webinar: HUD’s New Guidance on Criminal Activity and Housing

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is working to make it easier for people with a criminal record to find housing. In a memo sent out to staff on April 19, HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge instructed the department to review programs and policies that may “pose barriers to housing for persons with criminal histories or their families.” Fudge told staffers they have six months to propose updates and amendments consistent with the directive to “make our policies as inclusive as possible.” Among the many things, HUD staffers will be looking into are guidance documents, model leases, and other agreements. Find out how these changes will impact the way you do business. While the immediate focus is on HUD programs, this course is applicable to all properties subject to the Fair Housing Act.

Programs Covered:

• HUD Programs
• All properties subject to the Fair Housing Act
