24 C.F.R. § 886.105
§ 886.105 Content of application; Disclosure. (24 CFR Part 886)
Operative Text
Applications shall be in the form and in accordance with the instructions prescribed by HUD, and shall include: (a) Information on Gross Income, family size, and amount of rent paid to the project by Families currently in residence; (b) Information on vacancies and turnover; (c) Estimate of effect of the availability of Section 8 assistance on marketability of units in the project; (d) For projects having a history of financial default, financial difficulties or deferred maintenance, a plan and a schedule for remedying such defaulted or deferred obligations; (e) Total number of units by unit size (by bedroom count) for which Section 8 assistance is requested; and (f) Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan on a HUD-prescribed form.
Section 886.105 establishes what a housing project owner must include when submitting an application for Section 8 assistance under 24 CFR Part 886. The application must follow HUD's prescribed format and cover a defined set of topics, including current resident income and rent data, vacancy and turnover history, an assessment of how Section 8 availability affects unit marketability, a remediation plan for any history of financial default or deferred maintenance, a unit count by bedroom size, and an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan. This provision ensures HUD receives a standardized, comprehensive picture of the project before assistance is approved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking Section 8 assistance under 24 CFR Part 886 § 886.105 are generally expected to gather and organize detailed project data well before submitting an application. A compliant application typically includes current resident income and rent figures, vacancy and turnover records, a unit inventory broken down by bedroom count, and a completed Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan on the HUD-prescribed form. For properties with a history of financial default or deferred maintenance, operators generally prepare a concrete remediation plan and schedule as part of the submission package, since § 886.105(d) specifically calls for this documentation.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 24 CFR Part 886 § 886.105, the application process for Section 8 project-based assistance requires landlords to disclose information about current residents' incomes, rents, and household sizes, which means tenant data plays a role in the approval process. Residents of a project where an owner is applying for this assistance may have rights related to how their information is used and how fair housing obligations are carried out, as the provision requires an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan. Tenants who have questions about how § 886.105 affects their housing situation may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or HUD's regional office for general information.
