24 C.F.R. § 200.640
§ 200.640 Effect on other requirements. (24 CFR Part 200)
Operative Text
The requirement for compliance with this part is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other requirements imposed by or under Executive Order 11063 or the Fair Housing Act.
Section 200.640 establishes that the compliance obligations set out in 24 CFR Part 200 operate alongside — not instead of — the requirements that flow from Executive Order 11063 and the Fair Housing Act. Satisfying one set of rules does not discharge a party's duties under the others; all applicable obligations remain independently in force. This provision functions as a non-substitution clause, ensuring that no single regulatory framework can be used to sidestep the others.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 200.640, property owners and managers participating in HUD-related programs must recognize that meeting the standards of 24 CFR Part 200 does not fulfill or replace their separate obligations under Executive Order 11063 or the Fair Housing Act. Compliant operators generally maintain parallel compliance programs that address each framework on its own terms, rather than treating satisfaction of one as a blanket clearance. Reviewing all three sets of requirements together — rather than in isolation — is the approach consistent with this provision's non-substitution rule.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 200.640 means that tenants retain the full protections of the Fair Housing Act and Executive Order 11063 even when a landlord or program is subject to 24 CFR Part 200. A potential violation of one framework can be raised independently of the others, so a concern that might not fit neatly under Part 200 could still be actionable under the Fair Housing Act. Tenants who believe their rights have been violated may consider contacting HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, a local fair housing organization, or a tenant-rights group for information about available complaint and enforcement paths.
