Operators administering housing under 24 CFR Part 886 § 886.337 generally ensure their tenant selection procedures align with the preference rules found in §§ 5.410 through 5.430. Compliant operators typically document how preferences are identified, applied, and recorded in their selection process to reflect those cross-referenced requirements. Reviewing those sections alongside any program-specific guidance helps ensure selection practices remain consistent with federal standards.
