Plain English

Section 886.313 of 24 CFR Part 886 establishes a broad set of federal legal requirements that apply to owners and projects participating in this HUD housing program. These requirements span civil rights and fair housing obligations, environmental protections, historic preservation standards, and labor wage rules for rehabilitation work on assisted units. Projects involving owner-directed rehabilitation are subject to additional layers of compliance, including flood plain, wetland, and air and water quality laws. The provision functions as a compliance checklist, tying program participation to adherence across multiple federal statutes and executive orders.

For Property Managers

Owners participating in this program under 24 CFR Part 886 § 886.313 are generally expected to maintain active compliance with civil rights laws, submit an approvable Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan, and — when overseeing rehabilitation work — satisfy environmental, historic preservation, and labor standards requirements. For properties with nine or more assisted units undergoing rehabilitation, compliant operators typically ensure that laborers and mechanics are paid prevailing wages as determined under the Davis-Bacon Act. Operators commonly document their compliance efforts across each applicable federal requirement and coordinate with HUD and the Department of Labor as needed to satisfy the full scope of obligations listed in this section.

For Tenants

Tenants living in properties participating in this program have the benefit of protections rooted in the civil rights, fair housing, and environmental requirements outlined in 24 CFR Part 886 § 886.313. If a tenant believes that fair housing or civil rights obligations are not being met, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Tenants who suspect that labor or environmental standards were violated during rehabilitation work on their building may also raise concerns with HUD or consult a tenant advocacy group familiar with federal housing program requirements.
