SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On February 9, 2023 (88 FR 8516), HUD published a proposed rule in the Federal Register entitled "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing" that included, among others, provisions reestablishing a formal AFFH planning process and creating an enforcement mechanism to ensure program participants comply with the duty to affirmatively further fair housing.
The Department has determined to withdraw the proposed rule at this time and to terminate this rulemaking proceeding. HUD does not intend for a final rule to be issued on this NPRM.
