The proposed rule for the new Rural Housing Stability Assistance Program (RHSP) was published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2013, and included a proposed definition of chronic homelessness.

Public comments for the definition of chronic homelessness are due May 28, 2013, and may be submitted to HUD either by mail or electronically at www.regulations.gov. Because the definition of chronic homelessness was published as proposed, it will become effective once the rule is published as final. For more information about submitting a comment, see page 2 of the RHSP proposed rule.

HUD recently extended the comment period for the RHSP portion of the proposed rule to July 1, 2013 (see Notice).
