Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
This HUD notice announces that the usual annual inflation adjustment to civil monetary penalty (CMP) amounts will not be made for 2026 because required October 2025 CPI-U data could not be produced due to a government shutdown. As a result, all HUD civil money penalties remain at their 2025 levels rather than increasing for 2026. PHA staff should continue using 2025 CMP amounts when applying civil monetary penalties rather than expecting an updated 2026 figure.
