Friday news roundup 8/29/14

In last week's roundup, we shared HUD's revised addendum for the 2015 proposed FMRs. This week, HUD officially announced the correction to the 2015 proposed fair market rents (FMRs) published on August 15 in a Federal Register notice. The new notice includes a corrected version of the Schedule B addendum, which contains proposed small area FMRs for the five demonstration participants. According to the notice:

Unfortunately, the Schedule B addendum published on August 15, 2014 inadvertently excluded the small area FMRs for Dallas, Texas. This notice provides the corrected Schedule B addendum.

You can review the 2015 proposed FMRs on HUD’s Policy Development and Research (PD&R) FMR page. In other news:
