HUD continues to encourage owners of multifamily properties to provide flexibilities to residents who may be struggling financially as a result of COVID-19. Please see their updated guidance for multifamily property owners on promoting housing stability during the pandemic.

Separately, HUD published a Housing Notice (2020-7), Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Eviction Moratorium that extends the moratorium on evictions for all HUD-insured or HUD-held mortgages while under forbearance, and also provides guidance on tenant protections for multifamily properties not subject to forbearance and those with HUD-assisted units.
