Description
FR-4712-P-01 This proposed rule would establish regulations for HUD’s new Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) Sales Program. The requirements for the new program are closely modeled on those for HUD’s Officer Next Door (OND) and Teacher Next Door (TND) Sales Programs. The GNND Sales Program would replace and build upon the success of these two existing sales programs. The purpose of the GNND Sales Program is to improve the quality of life in distressed urban communities by encouraging law enforcement officers, teachers, and firefighters/ emergency responders whose daily responsibilities and duties represent a nexus to the needs of the community to purchase and live in homes in these communities. Although the requirements governing the new GNND Sales Program would be similar to the existing requirements for the Officer and Teacher Next Door Sales Programs, HUD is also proposing to make several important modifications and improvements to the existing requirements.
