                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 902--PUBLIC HOUSING ASSESSMENT SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart G--PHAS Incentives and Remedies
 
Sec. 902.83  Interventions.

    (a) Interventions under this part (including an assumption of 
operating responsibilities) may be limited to one or more of a PHA's 
specific operational areas (e.g., maintenance, modernization, occupancy, 
or financial management) or to a single development or a group of 
developments. Under this limited intervention procedure, HUD could 
select, or participate in the selection of, an AME to assume management 
responsibility for a specific development, a group of developments in a 
geographical area, or a specific operational area, while permitting the 
PHA to retain responsibility for all programs, operational areas, and 
developments not so designated.
    (b) Upon determining that a substantial default exists under this 
part, HUD may initiate any interventions deemed necessary to maintain 
decent, safe, and sanitary dwellings for residents. Such intervention 
may include:
    (1) Providing technical assistance for existing PHA management 
staff;
    (2) Selecting or participating in the selection of an AME to provide 
technical assistance or other services up to and including contract 
management of all or any part of the public housing developments 
administered by a PHA;
    (3) Assuming possession and operational responsibility for all or 
any part of the public housing administered by a PHA;
    (4) Entering into agreements, arrangements, and/or contracts for or 
on behalf of a PHA, or acting as the PHA, and expending or authorizing 
the expenditure of PHA funds, irrespective of the source of such funds, 
to remedy the events or conditions constituting the substantial default;
    (5) The provision of intervention and assistance necessary to remedy 
emergency conditions;
    (6) After the solicitation of competitive proposals, select an 
administrative receiver to manage and operate all or part of the PHA's 
housing; and
    (7) Petition for the appointment of a receiver to any District Court 
of the United States or any court of the State in which real property of 
the PHA is located.
    (c) The receiver is to conduct the affairs of the PHA in a manner 
consistent with statutory, regulatory, and contractual obligations of 
the PHA and in accordance with such additional terms and conditions that 
the court may provide and with section 6(j)(3)(C) of the Act.
    (d) The appointment of a receiver pursuant to this section may be 
terminated upon the petition of any party, when the court determines 
that all defaults have been cured or the public housing agency is 
capable again of discharging its duties.
    (e) HUD may take the actions described in this part sequentially or 
simultaneously in any combination.
