Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Final rule; delay of effective date, withdrawal, and correction.

On January 6, 2025, HUD published the HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining final rule (HOME Final Rule) in the Federal Register , which was scheduled to take effect on February 5, 2025. On February 3, 2025, HUD delayed the effective date of the HOME Final Rule until April 20, 2025, consistent with the President's January 20, 2025, memorandum titled “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.” This publication announces that HUD is further delaying the effective or compliance dates for certain provisions of the HOME Final Rule. The provisions of the HOME Final Rule that are not further delayed by this publication are effective as of April 20, 2025.

In this rule, amendatory instruction 2 is effective April 20, 2025, and amendatory instruction 3 is effective October 30, 2025. As of April 17, 2025, the effective date for amendatory instruction 27 (revising 24 CFR 92.253) in the HOME Final Rule published at 90 FR 746 (January 6, 2025), which was initially delayed at 90 FR 8780 (February 3, 2025), is further delayed until October 30, 2025. As of April 17, 2025, amendatory instruction 24 (amending 24 CFR 92.250) in the HOME Final Rule published at 90 FR 746 (January 6, 2025) is withdrawn. The corrections in this final rule to 24 CFR 92.3 are effective April 20, 2025.
