HUD has initiated a comprehensive update to the Multifamily Asset Management and Project Servicing Handbook, the first significant revision since 1992. The updated handbook will incorporate hundreds of policy documents in one location with enhanced digital features enabling quick access to information in a user-friendly format. The handbook will also provide property owners and management with the tools they need to serve individuals and families who rely on multifamily rental assistance programs.
The first chapter, titled Bifurcating Section 8 Contracts, is available on the Multifamily Housing Policy Drafting Table and interested stakeholders can submit comments through November 18, 2024. Additional chapters will be released on a rolling basis. HUD will publish the complete, updated handbook in 2026. Read More.
