On June 23, 2021, HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge issued a letter to affordable housing providers that established the Biden Administration’s stand on second changes for formerly incarcerated persons and the importance of stable housing in their re-entry into our communities. “No person should exit a prison or jail only to wind up on the streets”. This new guidance will be explored from many different viewpoints.

HUD established these new guidelines to help reduce the recidivism of the formerly incarcerated. They need to find a job and also find housing and with blanket prohibitions on past felonies, it was impossible to find safe and sanitary housing

This is a “hot topic” and there are many sections on how to correctly implement the guidance from HUD. HUD has a new Secretary, and she is promoting more changes at HUD. The concentration at this time is how can people released from prisons and jails find adequate housing for themselves and their families. This is the focus of this new guidance.

Join this webinar and learn what an “individual assessment “ is and how to do it correctly.
