Cal. Civ. Code § 0770-03-02-.12
(1) Public Notice to Lower-Income Families.

(a) If the Agency does not maintain a waiting list for its Existing Housing Program which is
sufficient to provide applicants for the units under the Moderate Rehabilitation Program the
Agency will promptly after receiving the executed ACC, make known to the public the
availability of the Program.

1 The notice must state that assistance under this Program will be available only in
specified units which have been rehabilitated under the Program.

2. The notice must also state that current occupants of housing assisted under the Act and
applicants on a waiting list for any such housing (except for those Families on the Section
8 Existing Housing waiting list) must apply separately if they wish to be considered for
assistance under the Program. In addition, the notice must state that such applicants will
not lose their place on any other waiting list.

3. The notice must be made in accordance with the HUD guidelines for fair housing
requiring the use of the equal housing opportunity logotype, statement and slogan.

(b) If the Agency has a waiting list for its Existing Housing Program which is sufficient to provide
applicants for the units under the Moderate Rehabilitation Program, the Agency need not
advertise the availability of assistance under this Program, until the next time it advertises under
that program, but will refer Families on the Existing Housing waiting list.

(2) Waiting List.

(a) Any Family on the waiting list must be allowed to refuse participation in the Moderate
Rehabilitation Program without losing its place on the waiting list for Existing Housing.

Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-02 § 0770-03-02-.12 governs how Tennessee housing agencies must inform the public about the availability of the Moderate Rehabilitation Program and manage related waiting lists. When an agency lacks a sufficient existing waiting list, it must issue a public notice—compliant with HUD fair housing guidelines—explaining that assistance is limited to specific rehabilitated units and that applicants must apply separately without forfeiting their place on any other waiting list. Families already on a waiting list for Existing Housing may decline participation in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program without losing their position on that list.

For Property Managers

Under § 0770-03-02-.12, housing agencies administering the Moderate Rehabilitation Program are responsible for ensuring that public notices accurately describe program eligibility, unit-specific availability, and the separate application requirement. Compliant agencies use the HUD equal housing opportunity logotype, statement, and slogan in any required public notice, and they take care to preserve applicants' standing on other waiting lists. Agencies with a sufficiently large Existing Housing waiting list may defer new advertising until their next scheduled outreach cycle, referring families from that existing list in the interim.

For Tenants

Section 0770-03-02-.12 protects lower-income families by ensuring they receive clear public notice when Moderate Rehabilitation Program assistance becomes available in Tennessee. Families who are already on an Existing Housing waiting list have the right to decline participation in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program without losing their place on that list. Tenants who believe proper notice was not given or that their waiting list position was improperly affected may wish to contact the administering agency directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
