24 C.F.R. § 983.151
§ 983.151 Applicability. (24 CFR Part 983)
Operative Text
This subpart applies to development activity, as defined in § 983.3, under the PBV program.
Section 983.151 establishes the scope of the subpart that follows it, making clear that the rules within apply specifically to 'development activity' as that term is defined in 24 CFR § 983.3 within the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program. In other words, not all PBV program activity is covered—only those actions that meet the regulatory definition of development activity trigger the requirements of this subpart. This scoping provision serves as a gateway, directing readers to the definition in § 983.3 to determine whether a given activity falls under these rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Housing owners and developers participating in the PBV program should be aware that § 983.151 limits this subpart's requirements to activities that qualify as 'development activity' under the definition found at § 983.3. Compliant operators typically begin by confirming whether their planned work meets that definition before determining which downstream requirements in this subpart apply to their project. Understanding this threshold distinction helps operators avoid either overlooking applicable requirements or unnecessarily applying rules to activities outside the subpart's scope.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For tenants living in or seeking housing in PBV-assisted properties, § 983.151 signals that a specific set of federal rules governs certain construction or rehabilitation work carried out under the PBV program. If development activity is occurring at a property where you receive or are seeking project-based voucher assistance, the protections and requirements in this subpart may be relevant to your situation. Tenant-rights organizations or a local public housing authority can help clarify whether activity at a specific property falls within the scope defined by § 983.3 and what that means for residents.
