Removal of Regulations for the Shelter Plus Care and the Supportive Housing Programs
Plain English Summary
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has officially removed the regulations for the Shelter Plus Care and Supportive Housing Programs. These programs have been combined into the new Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, following a law passed in 2009 aimed at improving housing assistance for the homeless. Insurance agents should be aware of this change as it may affect clients seeking housing assistance and related services.

This rule removes HUD's Shelter Plus Care program and Supportive Housing Program regulations from title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations. HUD is removing these regulations and references to these regulations because the Shelter Plus Care and Supportive Housing Programs were consolidated into and replaced by the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program following the enactment of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act).
