Subject: Deadline for Public Comments on HUD's Draft Environmental Justice Strategy Extended to November 23, 2011

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has extended the deadline for public comment on its Draft Environmental Justice Strategy to November 23, 2011. This EJ strategy is a four-year plan to address environmental justice concerns and increase access to environmental benefits through HUD policies, programs, and activities. Our Department is committed to meeting the goals of Executive Order 12898, “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations,” which states that each federal agency, with the law as its guide, should make environmental justice part of its mission.
