Change Log

Re-verified every dated status claim against the live record; two agency developments logged and every as-of stamp moved to August 29.

Every dated status claim on the implementation tracker, the appropriations watch, the engage page, the dropped-provisions list, and the audience guides was re-checked against the Federal Register API, govinfo BILLSTATUS, HUD’s PIH/RAD/FHA INFO pages, FDIC releases, and the BPC tracker. Two things actually moved since August 16: the FDIC Board approved an interim final rule implementing §902 (reciprocal deposits) on August 27, 2026 — the first agency rulemaking under the Act, now awaiting Federal Register publication — and the House scheduled a September 1 suspension-of-the-rules vote on the Senate continuing resolution (H.R. 6500). Also logged: PIH notices now run through PIH 2026-23 (August 28) with none citing the Act, and a newly opened USDA comment window proposing to rescind 7 CFR part 1924, the construction-and-repair regulation behind the Section 502/504 programs the Act expanded (comments close October 19). Everything else — no §405 guidance, no RAD notice revision, no MTW cohort notice, no Senate THUD bill, no Innovation Fund methodology notice — was individually confirmed unchanged, and each briefing document now carries claim-level section citations on its action cards.

Fixed the Sec. 405 deeming and Sec. 502(g) descriptions after an external audit, and stated the CBO figures after reading the estimate directly.

An independent audit of this hub prompted a full re-verification against the enrolled text, the U.S. Code, and the CBO estimate itself. Three families of fixes. First, Sec. 405(a): the statute says qualifying LIHTC, HOME, and RHS units "shall be deemed" to meet voucher inspection requirements — the deeming is automatic when the statutory conditions are met, not a PHA election. Descriptions across the hub, the PHA and rural briefing documents, and the model HCV Administrative Plan language that framed it as permissive ("lets PHAs accept", "[will / will not] accept", "decline the authority") were corrected; the model plan now presents the deeming as self-executing and moves the agency’s real choices to documentation and data-sharing. The model plan’s "new landlord" definition was also conformed to the statute: no prior HAP contract with any public housing agency, not just the drafting PHA. Second, Sec. 502(g): the $7,500-to-$15,000 change amends the loan-security sentence of 42 U.S.C. 1474(a) — repair loans under $15,000 need only a promissory note — and does not change any grant cap; the statute has left grant maximums to the Secretary since 1983, and USDA’s administrative limits ($10,000, or $15,000 in Presidentially declared disaster areas) predate the Act. Earlier text here calling it a grant-limit increase (including "doubles Section 504 repair grants") was wrong and has been corrected. Third, CBO: publication 62570 was finally retrieved in a real browser session and read directly — net deficit effect $0 over 2026–2036 (rounded), budget authority −$16 million, outlays −$6 million, revenues −$6 million, ≈$10 million in faster Sec. 212 RAD outlays — so the figures are now stated with the estimate as the source, the open question is retired, and the malformed CBO citation on the hub landing page is fixed. Two audit claims did not survive verification and were not adopted: the model board resolution does not condition the statute on HUD guidance (a clarifying savings clause was added anyway), and the audit’s own description of Sec. 502(g) as raising a statutory grant ceiling repeats the error it flagged.

Re-read every statutory claim against the enrolled text and fixed 70 findings, 13 of them outright wrong.

A verification pass checked the hub’s statutory claims against the enrolled text section by section, and its post-enactment claims against the live public record. The substantive fixes: Sec. 209’s rural-area definition was published inverted, and is now quoted as enrolled with a note that the wording appears to defeat the 10 percent set-aside; Sec. 502’s 9-to-25 percent change is a nonprofit set-aside of each State’s Section 515 loan funds, not a cap on owner returns; the Sec. 501 HOME administrative-cost provision was not dropped — it was enacted; Sec. 504’s two Fund set-asides run on different bases and one is not available for 90 days; Sec. 504 creates a HUD-administered account in the Treasury, not a Treasury program; Sec. 124’s CDBG-DR program is three years, not permanent; Sec. 803’s study is conditional on a HUD determination; Sec. 213’s Build Now start year now reads the same way in all three places it appears; three version attributions (Secs. 103, 104 and 205) cited House sections no source supports; and the Sec. 1001 manufactured-home exclusion turned out to be Senate, not House, work. Claims that could not be confirmed from a primary source were removed rather than softened: the CBO dollar figures, the May 2026 suspension-calendar quotation, and the $115 million Federal Reserve offset are now open questions instead of assertions, and the rental-vacancy series was corrected from a secondary summary’s 5.9 percent to the 5.6 percent JCHS actually reports. Three earlier open questions were settled and retired.

Added a change log, a subscribable deadline calendar, and a weekly Federal Register watch.

This page is the change log. The implementation tracker now publishes a calendar feed you can subscribe to in Outlook, Google Calendar, or Apple Calendar, so statutory dates update in place instead of going stale the moment you download them. Behind the scenes, a weekly job queries the Federal Register for documents that look like the agency actions we track and files a report for review — it never edits the tracker itself.

Applied 34 review findings across the briefing documents and the hub interface.

A review pass caught and fixed real defects rather than cosmetic ones: briefing documents were dropping the operative clause of an instruction when text was clipped to fit a box, and were truncating dates ("October 1" for "October 1, 2026"); some documents still listed the August 2026 CDBG-DR notice as pending after the tracker recorded it as issued; the Sec. 601 URLA disclosure was quoted with its closing text cut off. On the pages themselves, duplicate section names ("X · X"), an inconsistent chip style, and low footer contrast were fixed.

Published downloadable briefing packages for each audience.

Board-ready decks, one-page flyers, leadership memos, and talking points, generated from the same verified content module that drives these pages — so a printed handout and the site cannot disagree.

Moved the hub onto the AI Housers brand.

Navy, gold, and Inter, on a flat paper canvas. Cosmetic only: no fact, figure, or citation changed.

Reviewed every implementation status against the public record through August 15, 2026.

One agency action had actually been taken: HUD published the CDBG-DR unmet-need formula notice at 91 FR 52314 on August 13, 2026 — three days after the statutory 30-day deadline. Everything else was recorded as not started, in progress, or unknown, with a note explaining what the public record does and does not show. "Unknown" is used deliberately where an agency may have acted without publishing.

Published the hub: the Act explained section by section, with an implementation tracker.

All 59 sections across 12 titles in plain English, guides for eight audiences, the money (authorized versus appropriated), a deadline tracker computed from the enactment date, a resource library, and an FAQ and glossary. Every record carries a source link, and the open questions we could not resolve are listed rather than papered over.
