24 C.F.R. § 960.600
§ 960.600 Implementation. (24 CFR Part 960)
Operative Text
PHAs and residents must comply with the requirements of this subpart beginning with PHA fiscal years that commence on or after October 1, 2000. Unless otherwise provided by § 903.11 of this chapter, Annual Plans submitted for those fiscal years are required to contain information regarding the PHA's compliance with the community service requirement, as described in § 903.7 of this chapter. Non-public housing over-income families are not required to comply with the requirements of this subpart.
Under 24 CFR Part 960 § 960.600, the community service requirements established in this subpart took effect for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and their residents starting with fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2000. PHAs are generally required to include information about their compliance with the community service requirement in their Annual Plans, in accordance with the planning provisions referenced in the regulation. Notably, non-public housing over-income families are explicitly excluded from the obligations set out in this subpart.
Plain English — not legal advice.
PHAs and property managers operating under 24 CFR Part 960 § 960.600 are generally expected to ensure that their Annual Plans—submitted for fiscal years commencing on or after October 1, 2000—contain documentation of how the agency is meeting the community service requirement. Compliant operators typically track resident participation and maintain records that can be reflected in the Annual Plan reporting described under § 903.7. When preparing plans, operators also account for the exclusion of non-public housing over-income families from these requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 24 CFR Part 960 § 960.600, residents of public housing in fiscal years starting on or after October 1, 2000 are subject to the community service requirements of this subpart, unless they qualify as non-public housing over-income families, who are explicitly exempt. Tenants who believe they have been incorrectly assessed for community service obligations, or whose PHA's Annual Plan does not accurately reflect compliance, may consider raising the issue with their local PHA, reviewing the Annual Plan through available public comment processes, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Consulting a housing counselor or legal aid organization familiar with HUD regulations can help residents understand how § 960.600 applies to their circumstances.
