HUD’s FY2025 NOFO FAQ still states that pre-purchase counseling is not reimbursable as one-on-one housing counseling and that agencies may use alternative funding instead.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official HUD guidance still reflects the restriction Mrvan asked HUD to reverse, so the requested restoration does not appear delivered in the lookback window.

HUD's current FY2025 Comprehensive Housing Counseling FAQ says reimbursable counseling remains limited: rental housing counseling is limited to HUD-assisted households, post-purchase counseling is limited to eligible homeowners, and FAQ II(Q41) says pre-purchase counseling is not eligible for reimbursement. FAQ II(Q49) further says other costs may be reimbursed only if they are not used to recover the cost of non-reimbursable one-on-one pre-purchase counseling.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official HUD guidance still reflects the eligibility restrictions Mrvan asked HUD to reverse; pre-purchase one-on-one counseling remains non-reimbursable and rental/post-purchase eligibility remains limited, so the requested restoration was not delivered as of this refresh.

The FY2026 Comprehensive Housing Counseling and Housing Counseling Training NOFO listing is still forecasted, with an estimated post date of September 30, 2026, and states that no documents are currently available. It describes the program generally as funding HUD-approved housing counseling agencies serving tenants and homeowners, but does not provide posted NOFO terms restoring the FY2025 pre-purchase, post-purchase, and tenant-counseling eligibility categories.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The next-year opportunity has not yet posted binding NOFO documents, so it does not show that HUD restored the disputed eligibility restrictions after Mrvan's letter.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Mrvan materially pursued the promise during his current House term by leading a May 2026 letter urging HUD to reverse FY2025 eligibility restrictions for pre-purchase, post-purchase, and tenant counseling. However, HUD's current FY2025 guidance still keeps pre-purchase one-on-one counseling non-reimbursable and limits rental and post-purchase counseling eligibility, while the FY2026 NOFO had not posted binding restored terms as of the evidence refresh. Because the requested HUD restoration was not delivered despite a serious advocacy attempt, this counts as not fulfilled with an effort badge.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

Mrvan materially advanced the promised action by leading a May 11, 2026 letter urging HUD to restore eligibility for pre-purchase, post-purchase, and tenant counseling services. However, the promised outcome was not delivered: HUD guidance still reflected the FY2025 NOFO restriction, including that pre-purchase counseling was not reimbursable as one-on-one housing counseling. Because this was a serious advocacy attempt but the requested federal policy change had not occurred, the correct adjudication is failed delivery with effort credit.
