24 C.F.R. § 882.101
§ 882.101 Applicability. (24 CFR Part 882)
Operative Text
(a) The provisions of this part apply to the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program. (b) This part states the policies and procedures to be used by a PHA in administering a Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program. The purpose of this program is to upgrade substandard rental housing and to provide rental subsidies for low-income families. (c) Subpart H of this part only applies to the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program for Homeless Individuals.
Section 882.101 establishes the scope of 24 CFR Part 882, confirming that its rules govern the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program, which is designed to bring substandard rental housing up to acceptable conditions while providing rental subsidies to low-income families. The provision also clarifies that Subpart H of Part 882 applies exclusively to the Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program serving homeless individuals, meaning those SRO-specific rules do not extend to the broader Moderate Rehabilitation program. In short, this section defines which programs fall under Part 882 and draws a clear boundary between the general program rules and the SRO-specific rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program operate under the framework established by 24 CFR Part 882, as confirmed by § 882.101. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of Part 882 to understand which rules apply to their specific program type — particularly whether their properties fall under the general Moderate Rehabilitation program or the SRO program for homeless individuals covered by Subpart H. Knowing this distinction helps operators work effectively with their administering Public Housing Authority (PHA), which is responsible for carrying out the program's policies and procedures.

Under § 882.101, tenants living in housing assisted through the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program are covered by the protections and procedures set out in 24 CFR Part 882, a framework intended to ensure that rental housing meets acceptable standards and that subsidies reach low-income families. Tenants in Single Room Occupancy units under the Moderate Rehabilitation SRO program for homeless individuals should be aware that Subpart H contains rules specifically applicable to their housing situation. Tenants who believe their rights under Part 882 are not being upheld may consider contacting their local Public Housing Authority, a HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization for information about available options.
