Monday federal housing announcements

- One of these opportunities for reading between the lines: HUD's quarterly regulatory waivers are posted today in the Federal Register. Readers who deal with HUD may want to glance over these for trends. Note that this crop of waivers is for April through June, hence nothing yet on Hurricane Katrina though earlier hurricane relief exceptions are listed.

- Here's the Federal Register edition of that 8609 rule the IRS circulated on Friday.

- HUD's Community Planning and Development page has new instructions for the IDIS computer system used to administer community development block grants.

- HUDCLIPS has posted CPD Directives 2005-9 and 2005-10 on disability access compliance with the Rehabilitation and Fair Housing Acts in housing funded by CDBG and HOME funds.
