ORGANIZATION REQUESTING COMMENTS:
PUBLIC HEALTH LAW CENTER

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

SUMMARY: In October 2022, the Public Health Law Center (PHLC), along with a coalition of healthy housing advocates, submitted a petition for rulemaking asking HUD to institutionalize regulatory changes in support of safe, climate-resilient public housing. Since then, coalition members have participated in multiple conversations with HUD staff to discuss the petition and unsafe conditions faced by residents every day. In those conversations, HUD conveyed concern about the time and resources necessary to move forward with the rulemaking we requested. While we appreciate the difficulties that accompany regulatory proceedings, the policy changes we promote are growing more imperative by the day. With the health of residents at stake, HUD cannot afford additional delay. We are now moving forward with the People's Docket: Public Input on Petition to Electrify Public Housing to gather your comments and thoughts on this critical issue.

DUE DATES: October, 2025 through January 9, 2026

You are submitting a comment to the Public Health Law Center. Your comments will be gathered and submitted to HUD. We will notify you when we plan to submit the comments.
