§ 200.400 Purpose. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
The purpose of this subpart is to assist in achieving the aims of part III of Executive Order 11246 and the relevant regulations of the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Section 200.400 establishes the overarching goal of its subpart: to support the equal opportunity employment objectives set out in a federal executive order and to align with related federal labor and housing regulations. The provision does not itself impose specific duties but instead frames the purpose that guides the rules that follow within the subpart. Understanding this purpose helps readers interpret the more detailed requirements found in subsequent sections.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under HUD programs should recognize that § 200.400 signals that the subpart's requirements are rooted in federal equal opportunity employment policy. Compliant operators generally ensure that their contracting and employment practices align with both Labor Department and HUD guidance that flows from this stated purpose. Familiarity with this foundational section helps contextualize the specific obligations that appear later in the subpart.

Section 200.400 establishes that the rules in this subpart exist to advance equal opportunity employment protections tied to federal executive and regulatory authority. Tenants and community members who believe these underlying equal opportunity principles are being violated in connection with a HUD-assisted property may raise concerns with HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options. Knowing the purpose behind § 200.400 can help in understanding how the more specific provisions in the subpart are meant to be applied.
