HUD Notice PIH 2009-35(HA)/H 2009-11 State Lifetime Sex Offender Registration

The notice states that HUD is exploring regulatory and legislative changes to ensure that lifetime registered sex offenders do not continue to reside in federally assisted housing. HUD urges PHAs to aggressively pursue termination of tenancy or assistance to lifetime registered sex offenders to the extent allowed by the lease and state or local law. The notice does create an exception for lifetime registered sex offenders admitted before the QHWRA final rule became effective on June 25, 2001.
