                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 971--ASSESSMENT OF THE REASONABLE REVITALIZATION POTENTIAL OF CERTAIN PUBLIC HOUSING REQUIRED BY LAW--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 971.1  Purpose.

    Section 202 of the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 
Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub.L. 104-134, approved April 26, 1996) 
(``OCRA'') requires PHAs to identify certain distressed public housing 
developments that cost more than Section 8 rental assistance and cannot 
be reasonably revitalized. Households in occupancy that will be affected 
by the activities will be offered tenant-based or project-based 
assistance (that can include other public housing units) and will be 
relocated, to other decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing which 
is, to the maximum extent practicable, housing of their choice. After 
residents are relocated, the distressed developments (or affected 
buildings) for which no reasonable means of revitalization exists will 
be removed from the public housing inventory.
