What is the Green Book?

The Green Book is the attorney's one-stop reference for client cases related to HUD’s housing programs, detailing the laws and policies that govern HUD’s housing programs and in-depth coverage of a wide range of tenants’ rights issues, unpublished court decisions, hard-to-find memos, legal theories and strategies.

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.
