SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On May 29, 2024, HUD published in the Federal Register a proposed 
rule entitled ``HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates 
and Streamlining'' (the HOME Program proposed rule), available at 89 FR 
46618. To provide interested persons additional opportunity to learn 
about and comment on the HOME Program proposed rule, HUD is hosting 
three, two-part virtual public listening sessions that will focus on 
the HOME Program proposed rule. Each set of the

[[Page 50542]]

virtual public listening sessions will be hosted via a video 
conferencing platform at the times detailed in the DATES section of 
this document. At the beginning of each virtual public listening 
session, HUD will deliver a summarized presentation of the details of 
the HOME Program proposed rule and then open the session up for verbal 
comment from attendees.
    HUD's presentation delivered during each set of the virtual public 
listening sessions will detail the same information, so interested 
members of the public need only attend a single set of the listening 
sessions. Each virtual public listening session set will be delivered 
in two parts, with each part lasting one hour. The first part of each 
virtual public listening session (Part 1) will address the topics of 
community housing development organizations, maximum subsidy amounts, 
green building incentives, homebuyer housing, and community land 
trusts. The second part of each virtual public listening session (Part 
2) will address the topics of rental housing, tenant-based rental 
assistance, and tenant protections.

II. Meeting Participation and Attendance

    The virtual public listening sessions are open to the public. HUD 
encourages all interested parties to attend one set of a virtual public 
listening session. Attendees who provide verbal comments at a virtual 
public listening session will be limited to two minutes to provide 
their comment. Closed captioning will be available during all virtual 
public listening sessions.
