HUD recently announced upcoming efforts to ensure otherwise qualified people are not denied the opportunity to access housing solely due to a criminal record. In the short term, HUD plans to introduce rulemaking, establish a process for individualized assessments, and outline guidelines for public housing authorities and HUD-subsidized housing providers to prevent unnecessary denials of housing assistance to people with criminal history records.
