HUD's Implementation of OMB's Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance

Housing and Urban Development Department

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is proposing to amend its regulations on Federal financial assistance to conform with 2020 and 2024 changes to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance governing Federal financial assistance (previously called grants and agreements). The proposed amendments would implement the guidance and update cross-references to OMB provisions that have been renumbered or reorganized. HUD is also proposing changes to improve some grant management and administrative program regulations based on HUD's experience implementing OMB's regulations and guidance in existing entitlement, discretionary, and other programs involving grant management and administration. Finally, HUD is proposing changes to its Title VI, Section 108, Section 184, and Section 184A loan guarantee program regulations to address OMB's changes for loan guarantee programs regarding System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration and to clarify that the Section 184 and Section 184A programs are subject to audit requirements in OMB's regulations and final guidance. All these changes will improve HUD's processes for awarding Federal financial assistance and align HUD's regulations with governmentwide efforts to adopt consistent and standardized terms and data elements, implement data- and risk-based frameworks, reduce Federal agency and recipient burdens, promote consistent interpretations of OMB's regulations and guidance, and improve and maximize agencies' ability to assess performance of recipients.
