42 U.S.C. § 1437bbb–6
Training (THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE (42 U.S.C.))
Operative Text
The Secretary, in consultation with representatives of public and assisted housing interests, may provide training and technical assistance relating to providing assistance under this subchapter and may conduct detailed evaluations of up to 30 jurisdictions for the purpose of identifying replicable program models that are successful at carrying out the purposes of this subchapter.
Under 42 U.S.C. § 1437bbb–6, the federal Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is authorized—though not required—to offer training and technical assistance to those involved in administering housing assistance programs under this subchapter. The Secretary may also conduct in-depth evaluations of up to 30 jurisdictions to identify program models that work well and could be replicated elsewhere. This provision is enabling in nature, meaning it creates a permissive authority rather than a mandate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in assisted housing programs covered by 42 U.S.C. § 1437bbb–6 should be aware that federal training and technical assistance resources may be available through the Secretary's office. Compliant operators generally stay informed about any such offerings from HUD, as participation in training initiatives can support better program administration. Engaging with HUD-sponsored evaluations or technical assistance programs, when made available, is a recognized part of operating within this subchapter's framework.

Under 42 U.S.C. § 1437bbb–6, tenants living in assisted housing covered by this subchapter may benefit indirectly from federal efforts to identify and replicate successful program models across jurisdictions. If a tenant believes their housing program is not being administered effectively, they may wish to contact their local public housing authority, a HUD regional office, or a tenant-rights organization to learn whether any technical assistance or evaluation resources apply to their situation. Awareness of this provision can be useful context when engaging with housing advocates or officials about program quality.
