24 C.F.R. § 5.1004
§ 5.1004 System of award management. (24 CFR Part 5)
Operative Text
Applicants for HUD financial assistance that are subject to this subpart are required to register with the System of Award Management (SAM) and have an active registration in SAM in accordance with 2 CFR part 25, appendix A in order for HUD to obligate funds and for an awardee to receive an award of funds from HUD.
Under 24 CFR Part 5 § 5.1004, any applicant seeking HUD financial assistance that falls within this subpart must hold an active registration in the System of Award Management (SAM) before HUD can commit or disburse funds. The requirement follows the procedures set out in 2 CFR Part 25, Appendix A, which governs how federal award recipients maintain their SAM accounts. Without a current, active SAM registration, neither the obligation nor the actual transfer of HUD funds can proceed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and management entities applying for HUD financial assistance covered by 24 CFR Part 5 § 5.1004 generally ensure their SAM registration is completed and kept active well before any application deadline. Compliant operators routinely monitor their SAM account for expiration dates, since registrations must be renewed periodically under 2 CFR Part 25, Appendix A. Allowing a registration to lapse can interrupt the funding pipeline, so maintaining an up-to-date SAM profile is a standard administrative practice for HUD program participants.

Tenants and tenant organizations that seek HUD financial assistance—such as certain resident councils or cooperative applicants—should be aware that 24 CFR Part 5 § 5.1004 requires an active SAM registration before any award can be received. If a funding delay or denial appears connected to SAM registration status, tenants or their representatives can review the requirements under 2 CFR Part 25, Appendix A and reach out to the relevant HUD field office for clarification. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD-approved housing counseling agencies can also help explain how this registration requirement may affect a particular program application.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
