People with disabilities may make up 20-25% of the US population, but disabled people and their diverse unmet housing needs have yet to be at the forefront of federal housing policymaking. Disabled people of all ages, disproportionately nonwhite and poor people with disabilities, are acutely impacted by the nation’s housing crisis and face staggering barriers from high costs, continued segregation, institutionalization, lack of supply, extreme rates of inaccessibility, sky rotting rates of discrimination, among others.

FR-6286-I-01 Extension of Time and Required Disclosures for Notification of Nonpayment of Rent-11-08-2021
The CCD Housing Task Force writes to request that HUD immediately adopt policies that will prevent evictions and ensure housing stability among its residents. HUD’s recently published Interim Final Rule (IFR), Extension of Time and Required Disclosures for Nonpayment of Rent, makes an attempt to protect families but does not ensure that HUD tenants – who are primarily African American and Latinx households with extremely low incomes, people with disabilities, and older adults – have access to federal emergency rental assistance. We are calling on HUD to use its authority to act more comprehensively to prevent evictions by amending the Interim Final Rule (IFR).
