Operators of HUD-assisted properties can use HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 4-13 as a roadmap to the federal regulations that apply to their waiting list and tenant selection processes. Compliant operators generally maintain familiarity with each cited CFR section—covering application intake, owner preferences, SSN verification, and nondiscrimination record-keeping—and ensure their internal policies align with those underlying rules. Reviewing the full text of each cited regulation, particularly the nondiscrimination requirements under 24 CFR Part 1, is a standard part of maintaining a compliant admissions program.

HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 4-13 identifies the federal regulations that govern how HUD-assisted housing providers must manage waiting lists, take applications, verify Social Security Numbers, and keep records. Tenants and applicants have rights under each of the underlying cited regulations, including nondiscrimination protections and rules about how owner preferences may be applied. Those who believe a housing provider has not followed these rules may consider contacting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a local HUD field office, or a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
