| 2026-04-14 | Housing Choice Voucher Program and Tribal HUD-VASH | HUD | These forms are used by public housing agencies to apply for funding to assist very low-income families to lease or purchase housing.

HUD is making changes to nearly all the forms in this package, some of which implement changes to the law (such as integrating a utility flat fee option or allowing a waiver of owner responsibility for tenant-caused housing quality deficiencies), while others are changing the forms to align with Administration priorities like revised perspectives on who is covered by civil rights protections or whether certain classes of people (e.g., non-citizens) can qualify for housing programs. | Housing |

| 2026-04-27 | Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (Regulation C) | CFPB | Under HMDA, depository institutions and for-profit, non-depository institutions are required to collect, report, and disclose data about originations and purchases of mortgage loans.

These data are used to identify discriminatory lending practices. When originially listed, several public commenters argued that the data collection was overly burdensome, saying the expansion of data collected over time "raises serious questions about marginal utility relative to compliance burden." However, CFPB is not making any changes to the collection at this time. | Non-Discrimination |
