                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 906--SECTION 5(h) HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM (Eff. until 4-10-03)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 906.5  Resident consultation and involvement.

    (a) Resident input. In developing a proposed homeownership plan, and 
in carrying out the plan after HUD approval, the PHA shall consult with 
residents of the development involved, and with any resident 
organization that represents them, as necessary and appropriate to 
provide them with information and a reasonable opportunity to make their 
views and recommendations known to the PHA. If the plan contemplates 
sale of units in an entirely vacant development, the PHA shall consult 
with the PHA-wide resident organization, if any. While the Act gives the 
PHA sole legal authority for final decisions, as to whether or not to 
submit a proposed homeownership plan and the content of such a proposal, 
the PHA shall give residents and their resident organizations full 
opportunity for input in the homeownership planning process, and full 
consideration of their concerns and opinions.
    (b) Resident initiatives. Where individual residents, a Resident 
Management Corporation (RMC), or another form of resident organization 
may wish to initiate discussion of a possible homeownership plan, the 
PHA shall negotiate with them in good faith. Joint development and 
submission of the plan by the PHA and RMC, or other resident 
organization, is encouraged. In addition, participation of an RMC or 
other resident organization in the implementation of the plan is 
encouraged.
