The National Housing Law Project publishes the quintessential guide to understanding federal housing policy, HUD Housing Programs: Tenants’ Rights (the “Green Book”). The Green Book’s treasury of information is the product of over 55 years of legal experience specifically focused on HUD housing law, decades of successful high-impact litigation, and a deep understanding of intricate federal housing policy.
The manual includes new policies, emergent case law, and regulatory changes that shape the legal framework for cases that impact HUD tenants. The Green Book also contains unpublished court decisions, hard-to-find memos, and legal theories and strategies, providing a comprehensive treatise on evictions, subsidy terminations, affordable housing preservation and much more. For anyone advocating for tenants in federal housing programs, NHLP’s Green Book is a must-have resource.
The 6th edition includes updates on:
- The Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act , which revised federal statutory law governing all of HUD’s housing programs;
- Tenants’ rights pursuant to the CARES Act;
- The Rental Assistance Demonstration and how it impacts public housing residents; and
- A detailed analysis of the 2022 Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
