2025 Notices, Rules and Regulations

Build America, Buy America Implementation Guidance For The Public Housing Program - This Notice supersedes PIH Notice 2024-01 and clarifies the guidance provided in PIH Notice 2024-01 to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) by providing them with information about the “Buy America preference” (BAP) requirement created by the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) and its impact on programs administered by the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH). This Notice also provides a timeline for the application of the BAP and highlights issues that PHAs may want to consider as HUD transitions to full implementation of the BAP. This notice addresses a number of issues not addressed in PIH Notice 2024-01 and also clarifies some of the previously provided guidance. The new issues/clarifications addressed include clarification of what constitutes private housing that is not subject to BABA, that this Notice applies to the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative grant program, and guidance on how BABA applies to the Moving to Work Demonstration as well as other clarifications.

Note: The guidance provided in this Notice is subject to change if the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on the application of BABA in Federal financial assistance (FFA) programs for infrastructure is updated. This Notice does not apply to FFA provided to Tribes, Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), and other Tribal Entities collectively referred to as "Tribal Recipients." Tribal recipients should refer to HUD’s “Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) – Implementation Guidance for Tribal Recipients” for guidance on how BABA applies to Tribal Recipients.
