Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
HUD is proposing to remove disparate-impact liability provisions from its Title VI implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 1, aligning them with DOJ's revised Title VI regulations and Executive Order 14281. This supplemental notice also reopens the public comment period on HUD's January 2026 proposed rule that would eliminate HUD's disparate-impact regulations under the Fair Housing Act. PHA staff and other HUD funding recipients should be aware that if finalized, this rule would narrow the conduct prohibited under Title VI to intentional discrimination only, potentially reducing compliance burdens. Comments on this supplemental proposal are due by October 9, 2026.
