is the deadline everyone has heard. What almost nobody can tell you is which HOTMA rules actually apply to your program — the answer is different for CoC, ESG, HOME, HOME-ARP, HOPWA, HTF, and CDBG, and HUD has not published implementation guidance for any of them. That is what this matrix is for.

Why the halves read differently
For a CPD program, part 5 is borrowed — it binds only where the program’s own regulation cites it, so silence means “no.” For a PIH program, part 5 is the rulebook — silence tells you nothing. Click a rule name for plain English, or any colored cell for what that program’s own regulation says, with the citation.

How to read this

CPD: the cross-reference is the whole question

Section 5.618(e) says it outright — “This section applies to the Section 8 (tenant-based and project-based) and public housing programs.” A CPD program is bound only where its own part cites the provision, which is why HOPWA, whose § 574.310(f) cites §§ 5.618(a) through (d) expressly, carries the asset limitation while CoC, ESG, HOME, HOME-ARP, HTF, and CDBG do not.

PIH: the subparagraph still matters, in the other direction

Part 983 has no income rules at all. It borrows them twice over — § 983.4 points to part 5 subpart F, and § 983.2(c)(7)(ii) keeps § 982.516 alive after switching off the rest of subpart K of part 982. So a PBV question is answered by reading three parts, and the differences from tenant-based HCV come from what part 983 prohibits rather than from anything it adds.

The EID is not over everywhere

§ 5.617 closed to new households on December 31, 2023 and lapsed on January 1, 2026, taking the HOME, HOPWA, and HCV disallowances with it. Public housing was never in § 5.617 — it has its own provision at § 960.255, which does not sunset until January 1, 2030.

Where this is uncertain

Two cells are marked Not addressed, both HOME-ARP, where Notice CPD-21-10 is silent and its § 92.203 cross-references use pre-2023 paragraph numbering. Put PIH questions to HOTMAQuestions@hud.gov and CPD questions to CPD_HOTMA@hud.gov.
