HUDClips Gets a Facelift!
If you've ever tried to find a HUD Form or Handbook on our old HUDClips website, you know that website is not the easiest to use. Yes, HUDClips has long been due for a makeover and just in time for the New Year, that makeover is finally happening!

All of the information on the old HUDClips site is moving to www.hud.gov in early January 2008, and the look of the site will now match the rest of www.hud.gov. Your old "HUDClips" bookmark will automatically redirect you to the new site after the information is transferred - just remember to update your bookmark in January. To get a preview of the new "look" you can visit www.hud.gov/forms today - and stay tuned for a "new" HUDClips in January!

Happy Holidays
From all of us at HUD, we wish you a very happy holiday season, and we look forward to serving you in the New Year.
