alone require deference. 10 See Hagans v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec.,
694 F.3d 287, 304–05 (3d Cir. 2012). We also consider “the
thoroughness evident in [the agency’s] consideration, the
validity of its reasoning . . . and all those factors that give it the
power to persuade.” Young v. United Parcel Service, Inc., 135
S. Ct. 1338, 1352 (2015). Here, the “brevity” of HUD’s
statements and “undeveloped reasoning counsel toward a
lower level of deference.” Hagans, 694 F.3d at 305. For the
reasons discussed above, HUD’s statement that “owners must
continually renew the lease of an enhanced voucher tenancy,”
contained in one paragraph of HUD’s nearly 200-page Section
8 Renewal Guidebook, is not supported by the statute’s clear
text. HUD’s iterations of its nonrenewal policy do not show
otherwise.
