24 C.F.R. § 882.513
§ 882.513 Public notice to low-income families; waiting list. (24 CFR Part 882)
Operative Text
(a) Public notice to low-income Families. (1) If the PHA does not have a waiting list which is sufficient to provide applicants for the units under the Moderate Rehabilitation Program, the PHA must, promptly after receiving the executed ACC, make known to the public the availability of the Program. (i) The notice must state that assistance under this Program will be available only in specified units which have been rehabilitated under the Program. (ii) The notice must be made in accordance with the PHA's HUD-approved application and with the HUD guidelines for fair housing requiring the use of the equal housing opportunity logotype, statement and slogan. (b) Waiting list. The PHA must maintain a waiting list for applicants for the Moderate Rehabilitation Program. This requirement may be met through the use of waiting lists for other subsidized housing programs such as the Existing Housing Program.
Under 24 CFR Part 882 § 882.513, when a Public Housing Authority (PHA) lacks a sufficient waiting list to fill units in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program, it is required to publicly announce the program's availability shortly after the Annual Contributions Contract is executed. Any such notice must clearly communicate that assistance is limited to specific rehabilitated units and must comply with fair housing equal opportunity standards. PHAs are also required to maintain a waiting list for the program, though an existing waiting list from another subsidized housing program may satisfy this obligation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 882.513, PHAs administering the Moderate Rehabilitation Program are expected to issue timely public notices when their waiting lists fall short, ensuring those notices include equal housing opportunity language and logotypes consistent with HUD guidelines and the PHA's approved application. Compliant operators generally verify that any public outreach accurately describes the program's scope — specifically that assistance applies only to units rehabilitated under the program. PHAs also typically document how their waiting list requirement is being met, whether through a dedicated list or an integrated list shared with other subsidized housing programs.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 882.513 establishes that low-income families have a right to be informed about Moderate Rehabilitation Program availability through public notice, and that a waiting list must be maintained to manage applicants fairly. If you believe a PHA has failed to provide adequate public notice or is not maintaining a proper waiting list, you may have grounds to raise this as a concern with the local PHA directly or file a complaint with HUD. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with federal housing programs can help you understand what options may be available under § 882.513 and related fair housing protections.
