24 C.F.R. § 93.405
§ 93.405 Applicability of uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audits. (24 CFR Part 93)
Operative Text
The requirements of 2 CFR part 200 apply to the grantees and subgrantees receiving HTF funds, except for the following provisions: §§ 200.307, 200.311, 300.328(b), 200.329, and 200.333. If there is a conflict between the definitions in 2 CFR part 200 and 24 CFR part 93, the definitions in part 93 govern.
Under § 93.405, the federal uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit standards found in 2 CFR Part 200 generally apply to all grantees and subgrantees that receive Housing Trust Fund (HTF) money, with a handful of specific subsections carved out and excluded. When a definition in the general federal grant rules (2 CFR Part 200) conflicts with a definition in the HTF-specific rules (24 CFR Part 93), the HTF rules take precedence. This provision establishes the overall compliance framework governing how HTF funds must be administered, accounted for, and audited.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers participating in HTF-assisted projects should be aware that § 93.405 subjects the HTF grantees and subgrantees overseeing their projects to the broad administrative and audit requirements of 2 CFR Part 200, minus several enumerated exceptions. Compliant HTF administrators typically maintain financial management systems, procurement standards, and audit readiness consistent with 2 CFR Part 200's requirements as modified by Part 93. When reviewing program agreements or compliance documentation, operators generally look to 24 CFR Part 93 definitions first whenever a conflict with 2 CFR Part 200 arises.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in housing supported by HTF funds benefit indirectly from § 93.405, which requires the agencies and organizations managing those funds to follow rigorous federal administrative, cost, and audit standards. These oversight requirements help ensure that HTF money is spent appropriately and that program rules under 24 CFR Part 93 are properly followed. Tenants who have concerns about how HTF funds are being administered in their housing can contact their local or state HTF grantee, a HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization for information about available complaint or oversight processes.
