Plain English

Section 891.155 layers a set of additional federal requirements on top of the baseline rules in 24 CFR part 5 for the Section 202 (supportive housing for the elderly) and Section 811 (supportive housing for persons with disabilities) programs, as well as related legacy projects. These requirements span a broad range of policy areas—including fair housing marketing, environmental review, flood insurance, prevailing wage labor standards for construction of 12 or more assisted units, displacement and relocation protections, intergovernmental coordination, and lead-based paint hazard rules. Each area points to its own body of federal law and implementing regulations, meaning compliance under § 891.155 is cumulative rather than standalone.

For Property Managers

Owners and Sponsors operating under the Section 202 or Section 811 programs should be aware that § 891.155 requires adherence to multiple overlapping federal frameworks simultaneously. Compliant operators typically maintain affirmative fair housing marketing plans consistent with 24 CFR parts 108–110, secure required flood insurance, ensure Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance on covered construction contracts involving 12 or more assisted units, and document all reasonable steps taken to minimize displacement of any persons affected by project activity. Operators also generally ensure that any real property acquisition follows URA procedures under 49 CFR part 24 and that lead-based paint hazard requirements under 24 CFR part 35 are addressed throughout the project lifecycle.

For Tenants

Residents and prospective residents of Section 202 or Section 811 properties benefit from the protections established under § 891.155, including the right to affirmative fair housing marketing outreach and, if displaced by a covered project, relocation assistance at the levels required by the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act. Lead-based paint hazard protections under the referenced subparts of 24 CFR part 35 also apply to these housing programs. Tenants who believe these requirements have not been followed may raise concerns with HUD's local field office, consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with federally assisted housing, or explore whether a violation under § 891.155 may be relevant to an administrative complaint or other available process.
