A Limited Denial of Participation (LDP) is an action taken by a HUD Field Office or the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Single Family (DASSF) or Multifamily (DASMF) Housing which excludes a party from further participation in a HUD program area.

The scope of the LDP is limited to the geographic area of the office which sent the notice to the party. DASSF and DASMF LDPs are effective nationwide unless otherwise noted. An LDP expires in one year. A HUD "program area" is as broad as the programmatic jurisdiction of an Assistant Secretary.

LDPs are issued to parties (individuals and companies) who fail to comply with HUD program standards. In most cases, the causes of an LDP action could be remedied by the party. LDP actions include provisions for an appeal process with a speedy conference at the HUD office which issued the LDP as the first step in that process.
