24 C.F.R. § 883.701
§ 883.701 Cross-reference. (24 CFR Part 883)
Operative Text
All of the provisions of part 880, subpart F, of this chapter apply to projects assisted under this part, subject to the requirements of § 883.105. For purposes of this subpart G, all references in part 880, subpart F, of this chapter to “contract administrator” shall be construed to refer to “Agency” while the Annual Contributions Contract between the State Agency and HUD is in effect.
Section 883.701 works as a cross-reference bridge, directing that the management and occupancy rules found in 24 CFR Part 880, Subpart F apply to state-agency-assisted housing projects covered by Part 883, with any adjustments required by § 883.105. Importantly, wherever Part 880, Subpart F refers to a 'contract administrator,' that term is read to mean the state 'Agency' for as long as an Annual Contributions Contract between that Agency and HUD remains active. In effect, this provision avoids duplicating a full set of operational rules by incorporating them by reference and clarifying which entity holds administrative responsibility.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating projects assisted under 24 CFR Part 883 should be aware that § 883.701 makes the oversight and compliance framework of Part 880, Subpart F the governing standard for their projects. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with both the incorporated Part 880, Subpart F requirements and any modifications imposed by § 883.105, since both layers apply simultaneously. Because the state Agency steps into the contract-administrator role under § 883.701, operators typically direct administrative communications and compliance matters to that Agency rather than to HUD directly while the Annual Contributions Contract is in force.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in housing assisted under 24 CFR Part 883 benefit from § 883.701 because it extends the resident-protection provisions of Part 880, Subpart F to their projects, meaning the same baseline occupancy and management standards apply. Under this provision, the state Agency serves as the responsible administrative body during the period the Annual Contributions Contract is active, so tenants generally have a point of contact at the Agency level for concerns about compliance. Tenants who believe these standards are not being met may consider raising the issue with the state Agency, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether a violation of the incorporated Part 880, Subpart F rules can be raised as a defense or complaint in applicable proceedings.
