4.2: Online Review of Regulations

Provide Online Capabilities for Public Review of HUD Regulations Prior to Implementation

Other Information:

HUD already publishes its rules, regulations, and covenants for public review before they are implemented. However, citizens have expressed, via HUD's Ideas in Action portal, that it is unclear how to direct feedback to the Department. HUD will create a centralized and much more easily navigable website that utilizes an IdeaScale-like interface to allow the public to better engage with proposed rule changes. On this website, citizens will be able to make concrete suggestions that can subsequently be voted either up or down by other users to effectively highlight well-articulated and popular ideas. This project will enable HUD and other relevant federal, state, and local Agencies to more effectively engage with citizens, and properly review and vet comments that raise significant issues. Additionally, this website will enable the Department to assess how responsive state and local governments are in responding to concerns raised by the public.
